NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Messari, a leading provider of crypto market intelligence products, announced today at its Mainnet 2022 summit that it closed $35 million in its Series B funding led by Brevan Howard Digital. The funds will be used to expand Messari's growing team and continue to develop Messari's offerings, including its newly-launched products, Protocol Metrics and Data Apps.

The Series B round includes support from new investors including Brevan Howard Digital, Morgan Creek Digital, Samsung Next, FTX Ventures, as well as existing investors Point72 Ventures, Kraken Ventures, Uncork Capital, Underscore VC, Galaxy, and Coinbase Ventures.

"We're excited to welcome a remarkable group of investors as partners in our next phase of growth," said Ryan Selkis, Messari's Co-founder & CEO. "We are committed to providing investors, crypto enterprises, and token communities with the tools they need to participate in the crypto economy. This new funding will help us grow our team, expand internationally, and invest in new data offerings and tools that complete our market-leading product suite."

To enhance its offerings, Messari has launched two new products, Protocol Metrics and Data Apps. Protocol Metrics enables users to compare assets across multiple networks through transparent data standardization and analyze the health, growth, and usage of a protocol.

At launch, Data Apps is in beta and available to select Enterprise users and will eventually become available to all Enterprise users in the near future.

"We've always built our products with our customers in mind, and we've witnessed a large demand for real-time protocol financial reporting, so we're proud to introduce these unique offerings that completely change the experience for users," said Florent Moulin, Messari's Director of Product. "With the launch of Protocol Metrics and Data Apps, we're ushering in an era where Messari is as equally strong of a data provider as it is a research and analytics provider. We look forward to seeing the type of Web3 talent this new era attracts."
