Since joining CoinDesk three months ago, I’ve worked alongside Christine Kim and the CoinDesk Research team as an analyst covering Ethereum, decentralized finance and the crypto markets. While I’ve been interested in Ethereum for several years, I’d like to thank Christine and the CoinDesk team for providing me with a strong understanding of the technology and economics within the network.

A message from Masterworks.io There Can Only Be One
Fun fact: there’s 18,998 exchanges trading crypto. But, there’s another massive alternative asset class primed for disruption.
Art.
In fact, the art world is 3.75x larger than every cryptocurrency combined. The $6 trillion dollar question: how many platforms give you access?
One.
Masterworks.io opens the art investing world to everyday investors.
Why securitize the art market?: Incredible potential: In 2017, a single painting sold for $450 MILLION Access for all: fractional shares let you diversify your portfolio for a tiny portion of the normal purchase price Massive growth: Total wealth in art projected to explode by another $1 TRILLION by 2026Now, you can invest in works by your favorite artists like Banksy and Basquiat without needing millions.
We love what Masterworks.io does, so we partnered with them.

BACKGROUND: Go Ethereum developer Peter Szilágyi publicly announced the bug and issued a hotfix on Aug. 24. At the time of the exploit, only 30% of users had upgraded to the hotfixed software, allowing the attacker to target laggers.
