Messari CEO Ryan Selkis Resigns Following Political Turmoil
- Selkis has been outspoken on the necessity for transparent regulation of the crypto sector.
- As per the CEO, his political views and rhetoric endangered the team.
The chief executive officer of blockchain firm Messari, Ryan Selkis, has resigned. Part of the reasoning for the choice was what happened last week leading up to the US presidential elections. Selkis has been outspoken on the necessity for transparent regulation of the cryptocurrency sector and other related laws.
The CEO stated:
“I’ve decided to step aside from my operating CEO role at Messari and transition to the role of Senior Advisor. This was a decision I did not take lightly and one I was very close to making last month as I considered the problems I was most passionate about tackling in society at large.”
Political Turmoil
The founder of Messari just announced his resignation, saying that he is taking full responsibility to the team. According to Ryan Selkis, who posted on X, a leader’s first duty is to the team. He said that last week was the first instance in which his political views and rhetoric endangered the team.
He thanked everyone for their support and introduced Eric Turner, the company’s chief revenue officer, as the new CEO. Turner assured everyone that he would continue the company’s goal and drive its development. The former CEO praised Eric Turner, calling him a “terrific partner,” for his work in assembling the research team and its associated duties.
Eric Turner expresses his enthusiasm for collaborating with him in the Senior Advisory position and promoting openness and fostering research inside the cryptocurrency sector.
After the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, Ryan Selkis voiced his dismay and criticized the media for their lack of accountability, using the media’s polarizing tone as an example. He has tweeted many times this week endorsing Trump.
