Summer 2026 Internship at Wintermute Ventures

About Wintermute

At Wintermute our mission is to enable, empower and advance the truly decentralized world for more transparent and efficient markets and products. We do this by providing liquidity algorithmically across most trading venues in crypto, supporting all major centralized and decentralized trading venues, AMMs, RFQs, aggregators and chains. Wintermute is also offering best-in-class OTC products to crypto native as well as traditional financial institutions.

Wintermute is actively participating in the building and development of the blockchain ecosystem through investments from Wintermute Ventures, partnerships and co-development with upcoming protocols and incubation of own projects. We act as official liquidity providers for a large number of the world’s highest profile blockchain projects.

Wintermute is a hyper-growth, highly profitable business with a very ambitious vision and roadmap. We are backed by Lightspeed, Pantera Capital, Sino Global Capital, Blockchain.com Ventures, Avon Ventures by Fidelity Investments, DeFi Alliance and other top-tier investors. We are run as a technology company, not a financial service provider, and we build our culture around core values of ambition, collaboration, entrepreneurship, transparency and meritocracy.

About Wintermute Ventures

Wintermute Ventures is the investment arm of Wintermute. We back early stage companies and protocols across DeFi, infrastructure, applications, market structure and emerging ecosystems.

We invest with the benefit of Wintermute's deep market access, trading expertise, and connectivity across the crypto ecosystem. This gives us a practical lens on what is being built, where liquidity is forming, and which products have the potential to become important market infrastructure. Since 2020, Wintermute Ventures has invested in more than 120 projects. Alongside our venture portfolio, we also manage a substantial liquid token portfolio across L1s, L2s, DeFi, infrastructure, and new ecosystems.

This role is ideal for someone who is genuinely interested in crypto markets and enjoys working at the intersection of fundamental research, market structure, token analysis, and investment judgment. You will need to be flexible and adaptable, as the role will span different parts of the investment lifecycle.

About the role

This internship is targeted at university students across Bachelors, Masters, MBA, or other postgraduate programs in Tech, Business, Sciences, Finance, Economics or a related field. We are looking for candidates with meaningful and current personal experience in crypto. The internship start date and duration can be flexibly structured around your Summer 2026 term dates; however, we require a full-time commitment anywhere between 8 weeks to 12 weeks. You will get exposure to live deal flow, portfolio management, protocol analysis, investment diligence, and internal discussions across our network. You will be expected to take ownership of real work, form clear views, and communicate your thinking well.

This internship offers a potential pathway to full-time employment, with past interns having gone on to secure permanent roles. High-performing interns who demonstrate strong results, cultural fit, and alignment with our team may be offered a full-time role at the end of the program.

While the internship role is remote, any resulting full-time offer will be based in either New York or Singapore. As such we will only accept intern candidates with valid work permits in either jurisdiction.
