Blockworks acquires Messari as part of a broader effort to unify crypto data infrastructure and consolidate research and analytics services. Multiple outlets report that the deal adds Messari’s crypto data and analytics capabilities—described as among the industry’s largest data platforms—to Blockworks’ expanding research business.
The acquisition comes amid leadership and staffing changes at Messari, including layoffs, according to at least one report. The transaction is framed as a continuation of Blockworks’ push to strengthen its research offerings and centralize data tools for crypto market participants.
While details of the purchase price and specific operational changes are not provided in the excerpts reviewed, the reporting consistently emphasizes the strategic rationale: bringing together two major players in crypto data and analytics. The combined organization is expected to leverage Messari’s established datasets and analytics platform within Blockworks’ research infrastructure.
