| | Blockworks has acquired Messari. | This move brings together two of the largest crypto data and market intelligence platforms, allowing us to build the infrastructure layer for onchain capital markets. | By bringing our businesses together, we can now serve the two sides of the market. | The asset issuers: These are the protocols, chains, foundations, applications, stablecoin and RWA issuers, prediction markets, and onchain businesses that need to earn trust, disclose information, explain performance, and manage investors. The asset underwriters: On the other side are the investors, regulators, and platforms that analyze, review, and list those assets. These are funds, policymakers, exchanges, custodians, fintechs, brokerages, and increasingly, AI agents.
| | Blockworks has built for the issuer side of the market through standardized disclosures, investor relations, trusted research, institutional relationships, and scaled distribution. | Messari has built for the underwriter, building one of the most comprehensive data platforms in crypto, with coverage of more than 40,000 assets and a powerful API spanning assets, markets, exchanges, research, stablecoins, protocols, token unlocks, fundraising, social sentiment, event monitoring, and more. | Together, we can create a more complete system of record for onchain assets. This means deeper data, stronger APIs, more complete investor relations tooling, better monitoring and compliance workflows, and more useful ratings and research. | We’re excited to bring these capabilities together as we continue building transparency and trust in onchain markets. | Best, | Michael and Jason | P.S.
