Deus X Capital’s Tim Grant on cutting through the crypto hype

Tim Grant, CEO of Deus X Capital, an investment and operating company focused on digital assets, shared his perspective ahead of his panel at CoinDesk's Consensus Hong Kong conference. Grant entered the digital asset space after meeting executives from Ripple and Coinbase in 2015, seeing the technology as a way to practically address inefficiencies in finance through faster settlement and greater transparency, integrating with traditional finance rather than replacing it. Deus X, which started with about $1 billion in assets and operates globally, employs a hands-on, infrastructure-led growth strategy, combining investing and operating across the digital finance stack, including payments, treasury, institutional DeFi, and tokenization. Grant emphasized that his participation in Consensus is about substance, aiming to engage with institutions, regulators, and builders focused on deploying regulated digital finance solutions.
