Ryan Selkis, the outspoken founder of crypto intelligence firm Messari, announced Friday that he is stepping down as CEO following controversial tweets this week, including many in support of Donald Trump and some advocating political violence.

"A leader's first responsibility is to his team," Selkis tweeted. "This week was the first week in 6.5 years that my politics and rhetoric put the team in harms way. As such, I have decided to step aside as CEO."

Eric Turner, previously the firm's Chief Revenue Officer, will take over the CEO position at Messari. Selkis said that he will transition into the role of a senior advisor.
