Blockworks has acquired Messari, marking the company’s first major move after raising new funding to consolidate crypto’s fragmented data and information sector.
The deal brings together two of the best known names in crypto research and market intelligence. Blockworks has been expanding from media and events into data, investor relations, disclosures, and institutional tools, while Messari has built one of the industry’s broadest data platforms for crypto assets.
Messari provides coverage for more than 40,000 assets, including data on markets, exchanges, protocols, stablecoins, token unlocks, fundraising, research, news, social sentiment, and event monitoring. Its API is used by funds, exchanges, developers, and increasingly AI driven workflows.
Blockworks said the acquisition will help create a single system of record for onchain assets as crypto becomes more institutionalized and more regulated.
The company plans to serve two sides of the market: issuers of onchain assets and the investors, exchanges, regulators, platforms, and AI agents that underwrite or monitor them.
