1/ Today we announce our acquisition of Messari. Our mission is to bring trust and transparency to onchain markets. This acquisition accelerates that mission.

Crypto will win

mad lads might actually do it kudos to @JasonYanowitz and @MikeIppolito_ on all they've accomplished to date it's like running a marathon while getting pelted by water balloons thrown by people in clown suits and stopping at hyrox stations every 2 miles

A great day. Blockworks 🤝 Messsari Cannot wait to show you what we will do together.

Blockworks has acquired Messari. Blockworks and Messari grew up together: we were actually founded within 90 days of each other in 2018. We’ve enjoyed a fierce competition and rivalry over the years, and in many ways this feels like a homecoming. Can't say this loudly enough but we have a tremendous amount of respect for the team and business. Messari helped pioneer the concept of standardized data and fundamental decision making in crypto, and we're excited to embark on this next chapter. This acquisition will help us fulfill our mission of building trust in onchain markets through disclosures, standardized data, and enterprise workflows. Zooming out, this is an exciting moment for Blockworks but it also comes at a difficult point for the industry. Investors have lost trust in crypto, and if we don’t build it back, there’s no guarantee that we’ll get the future that we all want. Yano and I fully believe that this is a moment in time: we as an industry can choose our own adventure. We can take the easy route and relapse into unregulated penny stock trading, or we can build the future of nonsovereign money and global finance that got many of us into this industry. I know what choice we’re making, let's get after it.

Step by step, Blockworks is becoming one of these industry’s giants. Not just for data and market intelligence, but for trust. Impressive to see them acquire Messari, a company valued in the hundreds of millions just a few years ago. This further cements their position as the market leader across their categories, and very much deservedly so. Proud to call these chads a portfolio company and to work with a team as talented and ambitious as @JasonYanowitz and @MikeIppolito_. Time to raise the standards of this space to meet what the next 10 years of institutional adoption will demand.

Mike and I walked through the Messari acquisition. Why Messari. Why now. Our plans. And what’s next for the industry. Enjoy 🫡

"Everything runs on Blockworks."

Blockworks is a giant in the making.
