Messari Daily Brief Jan. 25, 2021 - Record Growth
Running a bit behind this morning after a torrid week last week and a weekend of catchup.
Record highs in ETH and DeFi Blue Chips. (The B EASY portfolio is looking good! BTC, ETH, AAVE, SNX, YFI!) Record daily active users. Record growth in Pro subscribers. Record new enterprise subscribers. And we’ve got a LOT more coming out that we’re excited about in Q1. So now would be a good time to leave your soulless FAMGA job.
If you want to come build with us, we’re hiring. A lot.
