Dove Dispatch #63
Messari Has Acquired Dove Metrics
GM and welcome to the last Dove Dispatch issue!
Today we’re incredibly excited to share that Messari has acquired the assets of Dove Metrics. The Messari Team will integrate the assets into their data and research product.
We started Dove Metrics in 2020 to make crypto fundraising markets less opaque. Messari has built the leading crypto data and research provider and relentlessly focused on bringing transparency to the industry. Given how aligned our missions are, we think it’s a natural fit.
A big thank you to our contributors, subscribers, sponsors, and everyone who has helped build Dove Metrics into the industry’s leading fundraising data source.
Dove Metrics is sponsored by BarnBridge - a protocol for tokenized risk, that enables users to calibrate their exposure to different risk vectors within DeFi. Its SMART Alpha application gives you more control over exposure to the performance of digital assets.
