Mailchimp Resumes Crackdown on Crypto Newsletters Including Messari, Edge

The email marketing platform Mailchimp has been suspending the accounts of crypto-related content creators and media outlets this week.

The list of affected customers includes self-custody crypto wallet Edge, crypto intelligence firm Messari, and Decrypt, which had been using Mailchimp for its newsletter for more than four years. “Thank you for deplatforming some of crypto’s most reputable brands in the past 48 hours,” Messari founder Ryan Selkis tweeted at Mailchimp on Wednesday. “You’re proving our point. Mailchimp—and all speech censors—must be destroyed.”

Messari’s marketing lead Jared Ronis added, “Not only was there zero warning, we can’t even access our subscriber lists. If @Mailchimp’s management of crypto clients is this haphazard, I shiver to think of what enforcement looks like for actual nefarious actors.” (This was also Decrypt’s experience: no warning and no explanation of the violation.)
