Just-In: Ryan Selkis Steps Down as Messari CEO

by

As a researcher with a focus on the crypto industry, I have closely followed the developments at Messari and the recent announcement of Ryan Selkis stepping down as CEO has piqued my interest. Having worked in this field for several years, I can empathize with the challenges that come with being a vocal industry leader during politically charged times.

Ryan Selkis, the founder and former leader of Messari, a blockchain enterprise firm, has announced his resignation from his role due to recent developments leading up to the US Presidential elections. Selkis, known for advocating for clear-cut crypto industry policies, has been vocal on the need for regulation in this sector.

Ryan Selkis Departs CEO Role 

In a recent announcement, Messari’s founder, Ryan Selkis, shared that he would be relinquishing his position, acknowledging that the well-being of the team is his utmost priority. Last week marked the first instance where his public statements and political inclinations potentially put the team in jeopardy. As a leader, Selkis emphasized, it’s essential to put the needs of the team above all else.

After much reflection and introspection, I have made the difficult decision to relinquish my position as CEO of Messari and assume the role of Senior Advisor. This was not a choice I made lightly or in haste; it is the culmination of many weeks of contemplation and soul-searching. Last month, I reached a crossroads where I had to reevaluate my priorities and identify the issues that ignite my passion and drive me to make a meaningful impact on society at large. With this new role, I will have more time and resources to dedicate towards addressing these problems head-on. My wealth of experience leading Messari has prepared me for this next chapter, and I am excited to bring my expertise and insights to the table as we work together to create positive change.
