A group of MakerDAO ($MKR) insiders and executives have reportedly formed a faction against founder Rune Christensen. The self-proclaimed "Purple Pills" are pushing for more decentralization at a time when Christensen has asked for more control over Maker capital holdings. Five former executives have filed a legal letter as well, claiming they were forced out in late March by the founder. According to The Block, Maker is currently seeking a broker-dealer license for a for-profit business, pointing toward further centralization.
