Crypto Research and Market Commentary by Ryan Selkis

Ryan Selkis is the founder and former CEO of Messari, a crypto data and policy analytics firm known for building transparency tools for digital assets. From 2018 to mid-2024, Selkis grew Messari into one of the most cited Web3 research platforms, covering over 300 assets and indexing more than 10,000 datasets. In July 2024, he stepped down as CEO following public backlash over political commentary, transitioning into a senior advisory role while the firm appointed its CFO as interim lead.

Selkis has remained active in crypto governance and strategy. In early 2025, he launched Project Solomon, a digital policy think tank advocating for parallel institutional models within the crypto ecosystem. He also played a central role in organizing crypto-backed political action committees in the 2024 U.S. election cycle, mobilizing over $78 million in disclosed contributions. Through Messari, Selkis has directly contributed to Web3 policy white papers and launched a decentralized metrics initiative to replace legacy financial KPIs with blockchain-native analytics. He remains a key voice on crypto governance infrastructure and data integrity.
