Blockworks Acquires Messari to Unite Crypto Data and Disclosure

The company says the purchase will create a single system of record for onchain assets to speed institutional adoption and AI access to crypto data.

Overview

  • Blockworks announced the acquisition of Messari on June 12, 2026, following its April Series A extension that valued the company at $192 million.
  • Messari will keep its core products and coverage and brings a data platform the company says covers more than 40,000 crypto assets and a widely used API.
  • Neither the purchase price nor detailed plans for leadership, organizational changes, or integration timelines have been disclosed.
  • Blockworks and Messari said near-term product work will focus on deeper data coverage, stronger APIs, investor‑relations and disclosure tools, monitoring and compliance workflows, and improved research and ratings.
  • The deal is positioned as a step toward consolidating fragmented crypto data services into a single platform that can compete with firms like Dune, Nansen, Chainalysis, and The Block and mirror legacy finance information models such as Bloomberg and S&P.
