NEW YORK, June 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Messari, the crypto industry's leading market intelligence company, today welcomes three new key hires to its market intelligence, marketing, and sales and events teams. With these new hires, the company seeks to expand its research offerings, increase ownership of the addressable market, and continue to solidify Messari as a leader in crypto research, data, and analysis.
