Messari founder Ryan Selkis has announced that he will run for the US Senate in 2024.
He did so with a very stark tweet posted on his official Twitter profile.

Future campaigning and regulation
The company is working on creating many analytical tools with the aim of also helping regulators better understand this new market.
