I had the chance to work closely with Matt for 4 years. He’s one of the best researchers in the space, having produced hundreds of reports while building strong relationships with many of the top networks and protocols in the industry. Sharp analyst, strong commercial instincts, and someone who consistently delivers high quality work. Any team would be getting an A+ addition.

The question surrounding a BASE token is now when, not if. > The Base team openly stated they are exploring a native token at BaseCamp 2025. > Base exited the OP Superchain for full economic sovereignty earlier this year. > The regulatory environment has never been clearer for exploring a token.

Today I’m stepping into the CEO role at Messari. After conversations with Eric and the board, we agreed this is the right step for the company’s next chapter. This transition also includes a difficult decision: we’ve parted ways with many teammates who helped build Messari into what it is today. I’m incredibly grateful for their work and the impact they’ve had on the company. They’re an exceptionally talented group, and I’m eager to help connect them with teams that are hiring. Looking ahead, we’re doubling down on Messari as an AI-first company serving institutions through research and AI products. The industry and the world are changing quickly, but our mission remains the same: helping customers navigate crypto with confidence.

"Blockchains are working fine. But for tokenisation to scale, it has to outperform today’s capital markets - on cost, evidence, trust, speed, usability, and design. The blockchain isn’t the bottleneck; governance, interoperability, and incentives are.". Those were the closing remarks from our president Prof. @DrNaseemNaqvi MBE FBBA as he chaired a panel at the Digital Assets Forum in London yesterday.
