DeFi Investment Analyst Intern

About the role

You'll sit close to real capital and real decisions, supporting the investment team across the full research cycle — studying protocols, weighing yield and structured-product opportunities, and helping shape analysis into strategies we actually deploy across the digital-asset markets.

Responsibilities

• Research emerging DeFi protocols and write clear, concise breakdowns of their mechanics, risks, and economics.
• Track on-chain strategies across Ethereum, Solana, and other ecosystems, flagging sustainable yield opportunities.
• Source and evaluate token deals, structured products, and OTC opportunities, presenting clear recommendations to the team.
• Partner with quantitative and technical colleagues to turn research into deployable strategies.
• Prepare investment memos, pitch materials, and market updates for internal and external audiences.
• Get hands-on with on-chain workflows — multisigs, dashboards, and governance tools — in a professional setting.
• Help shape partnerships with protocols, trading firms, and liquidity providers.
• Distil complex ideas into accessible insights for investors and non-technical teammates.

Requirements

• Genuine interest in digital assets, DeFi, and financial markets — curiosity and drive matter more than prior experience.
• Strong analytical and research skills, with clear and concise written output.
• High attention to detail and a real sense of ownership over your work.
• A proactive, independent mindset and the ability to learn quickly in a fast-moving environment.
• Comfort reading market data, liquidity dynamics, and token emissions to inform decisions.
• Familiarity with valuation, derivatives, and yield concepts — or the drive to pick them up fast.
• A confident communicator who builds rapport across finance and crypto.
• Fluency in English is required.

Nice to have

• Basic coding or data skills (Python/SQL).

Benefits

• Direct exposure to live deals, strategies, and protocols from day one.
• Mentorship from people who have worked across hedge funds, DeFi, and institutional fundraising.
• Networking with major protocols, investors, and trading firms, including team trips to hubs like Singapore and New York for conferences and investor events.
• Competitive compensation with full health coverage and performance-based bonuses.
• A clear path to a full-time role for strong performers.
• Real ownership — your work shows up in deals closed and partnerships secured.
• Flexibility to work remotely or from our Singapore or New York office.
