Blockworks acquires Messari for over $10M, a fraction of its 2022 valuation

Crypto media and data firm Blockworks has acquired analytics platform Messari for over $10 million, a steep discount from Messari's $300 million valuation in 2022, signaling ongoing consolidation in the crypto data sector.

• Blockworks paid over $10 million for Messari, which was valued at $300 million in a 2022 Series B round backed by Brevan Howard Digital and Point72 Ventures.
• Messari had recently replaced its CEO and cut staff as part of a shift toward becoming an 'AI-first company.'
• The deal adds Messari's data coverage of 40,000+ digital assets and its API used by investors, exchanges and developers to Blockworks' research business.
• The acquisition follows other crypto data consolidation moves, including Kaiko's purchase of Amberdata and RedStone's acquisition of Security Token Market.
