Brevan Howard leads $35 million round for crypto analytics platform Messari

Crypto data and analytics company Messari has raised a $35 million Series B funding round led by Brevan Howard Digital.

Other new investors include FTX Ventures, Morgan Creek Digital and Samsung Next, among others. Existing investors like Point72 Ventures — which led Messari’s $21 million Series A in August 2021 — also took part, according to a statement. 

The Block previously reported that Messari was raising a funding round at a $300 million valuation. At the time, a source told The Block that the projected raise amount was $35 million. 

The new funds will be used to fund product development and to expand its team, according to Messari. 

“We’re excited to welcome a remarkable group of investors as partners in our next phase of growth,” Messari co-founder and CEO Ryan Selkis said in a statement.
