Investment management platform Brevan Howard Digital recently hired Dmitrii Mylnev as a senior software engineer. 

Prior to joining Brevan Howard Digital, the London-based engineer worked in Revolut’s crypto arm, where he held the position of lead backend engineer. 

This appointment comes soon after Brevan Howard’s decision in January to join an institutional effort to tokenize funds, enabling liquidity to flow into assets that would otherwise be sitting idly.

Binance has had a handful of leadership shake-ups after Changpeng Zhao, the company’s founder and former CEO, was asked to step down as part of a settlement deal with the US Department of Justice. Zhao is set to be sentenced at the end of this month.

Binance’s current CEO, who was appointed in November last year, wrote in a blog post that regulation and compliance work are necessary steps in ensuring stability and security in crypto-economic ecosystems.

Research

We believe that few tokens at the application layer are diverging more from fundamentals than ZORA. Its fully-diluted P/S sits at 90x, pricing significant growth despite a consistent decline in weekly revenues since late July. We foresee an 80% decrease in protocol net margins due to a recent update to the fee structure that reduces trading fees from 3% to 1%, while boosting creators’ portion of the fee split. ZORA’s supply overhang also represents a near-term headwind, with 45% of ZORA’s supply (4.5B tokens or $350M at current prices) earmarked for the team & investors beginning to unlock on October 23, 2025 (36-month linear vesting schedule).
