Ryan Selkis, former CEO of Messari, has revealed his next focus, which intersects crypto, AI, and re-electing Donald Trump.
Selkis called the new initiative “Project Solomon,” his plan to contribute to Donald Trump’s second White House stint and create a parallel Washington built with modern technologies like blockchain.
In his view, the development of an open internet, cryptocurrency, and artificial intelligence represents the three most critical battles for America in the coming decade.
As Selkis doubled down on Trump support, the Republican candidate raced ahead of Democratic opponent Kamala Harris. Polymarket data showes a 6-7% difference between Trump’s winning odds and Harris’s chances of claiming victory during the November presidential elections.
Life after Messari
Selkis publicly discussed his vision on X less than three months after stepping down as Messari’s CEO. In July, the founder quit his role at the company amid escalating political debates and heated social media discussions over the U.S. elections.
A long-standing crypto community member and social commentator, Selkis started Messari in 2018 to introduce an additional transparency layer to the digital asset economy.
Messari became known as a hotspot of decentralized finance data, cryptocurrency research reports, and on-chain governance updates for web3 participants.
In one of his famous final moments as Messari’s boss, Selkis accused the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of corruption and subpar crypto oversight. Selkis said he was prepared for war with the SEC and its chair, Gary Gensler, and intended to cease all cooperating with the Wall Street watchdog.
