As a long-term investor in cryptocurrencies and a follower of Messari, I was deeply disappointed and saddened by the recent events surrounding Ryan Selkis, the co-founder and former CEO of the company. I’ve been closely watching Messari’s progress over the years and have always admired their commitment to data-driven research and transparency in the crypto industry.
Ryan Selkis, the co-founder and CEO of Messari, a prominent crypto data and research firm, unexpectedly resigned recently due to a heated controversy sparked by his contentious social media messages.
As a seasoned observer of the political landscape, I’ve seen my fair share of controversial figures. Yet, none have quite captured my attention like Selkis this week. Known for his bold and unfiltered rhetoric, Selkis took to platform X to voice some extreme views that left many of us taken aback.
In a recent post on X, Selkis admitted the consequences of his political remarks and rhetoric for the first time in over 6 years. Consequently, he has chosen to relinquish his position as CEO.
Eric Turner, the Chief Revenue Officer at Messari, will take on the position of acting CEO as the company looks for a new permanent CEO. Meanwhile, Selkis will move into a senior advisory position, although the specifics of his future responsibilities are yet to be defined.
It has been reported that Messari’s executives held talks with Selkis before his departure. Selkis hinted at this in a post on X, mentioning, “Had an enlightening ‘constructive criticism’ meeting with Messari’s management… I overstepped some boundaries this past week, and will make amends in detail soon.”
The aftermath of Selkis’s tweets was immediate and harsh. Employees at Messari found themselves under scrutiny and potentially facing harm due to being connected to the company.
Messari, a notable figure in the cryptocurrency sector, faces the challenge of restoring its tarnished reputation following Selkis’s actions. The once-trusted commitment to impartiality and expertise is under scrutiny, leaving it uncertain how the company will win back the confidence of the crypto community.
