## Summary

Ryan Selkis stepped down as CEO of Messari, the crypto data and research firm he co-founded, after a week of inflammatory tweets about politics, civil war and an immigrant's expulsion. In announcing his departure on X, he wrote that "this week was the first week in 6.5 years that my politics and rhetoric put the team in harm's way." Messari said Chief Revenue Officer Eric Turner will serve as interim CEO so Selkis can focus on crypto policy and national issues. Selkis later posted "I beat @JoeBiden. Again."
