Blockworks, a leading crypto data platform, today acquired Messari, a crypto data and market intelligence company, following its recent Series A extension at a $192 million valuation, aiming to consolidate the fragmented crypto information market.
This acquisition merges two major industry information businesses, creating a two-sided platform connecting onchain capital markets. Blockworks, founded in 2018, serves issuers with standardized disclosures and investor relations, while Messari, with eight years of operation, provides market intelligence and data coverage for over 40,000 assets, along with powerful APIs for investors, exchanges, and regulators.
Co-founder Jason Yanowitz states the deal closes the loop between issuers and investors, betting on the crypto data layer consolidating like traditional Wall Street information services such as S&P Global and Bloomberg. The combined entity plans to enhance data coverage, APIs, investor relations tools, and research, leveraging AI for real-time, structured onchain data, as markets move onchain.
