The company did not disclose the number of employees affected. However, this is not the first time Messari has streamlined its operations:

January 2025: Messari cut approximately 15% of its full-time staff.

February 2023: the company also implemented a similar layoff.

These moves indicate that Messari is restructuring its operations to align with a new strategy.

The company implements the x402 protocol, which allows:

Developers to access Messari's blockchain data

AI agents to automatically search for data

Direct payments via crypto wallet

Messari's goal is to bring enterprise-level crypto intelligence to developers and AI systems on the internet.

The crypto wave shifting to AI

Messari is not the only crypto company expanding into the AI field. Recently, many businesses in the industry are also pursuing a similar direction, including:

Core Scientific

Cipher Mining

MARA Holdings

Hut 8

Galaxy Digital

This trend reflects a reality: crypto companies are looking to leverage data, computing, and AI infrastructure to expand their business models, especially in an increasingly competitive market. #bnb #btc #CreatorpadVN
