Activist investors are building strategic governance token positions to push for fee switches, treasury redeployments, and protocol mergers, challenging development companies that redirect value away from the communities that built them. Unlike the public equities world, there are no proxy contests, no fiduciary duty frameworks, and often no legal recourse when governance rights are diluted or ignored. This panel examines how activist strategies are translating from Wall Street to Web3 and what protocol teams and capital allocators need to understand as governance disputes move from Discord channels to courtrooms.
