Tim Grant

Tim Grant spoke at Proof of Talk Paris 2026 as CEO of Deus X Capital. On 3 June he joined David Rutter and Ben Nadareski for “From Enterprise Blockchain to Tokenised Markets: The Next Chapter of Institutional Finance”. The panel ran from 14:10 to 14:35 on the Taostats Stage. Its title and participants form the archived programme record; they do not establish what each panellist argued.

Deus X Capital is an investment and operating company working across capital markets, fintech and digital assets. Its dated release of July 2025 identified Grant as chief executive and chairman of Deus X Pay. The company's team page continued to list him as CEO when checked on 7 October 2026, while CoinDesk's interview of 26 January 2026 independently confirmed that title. CoinDesk described the firm's activities across private equity, venture capital, venture building and fund allocation, with offices in London, Malta and the UAE.

Grant's professional background connects those activities with both traditional finance and digital-asset market infrastructure. He previously worked at UBS Investment Bank and UBS O'Connor, then held roles at R3, SIX Digital Exchange and Galaxy Digital. In the January interview, he described entering the digital-asset sector at the end of 2015, after meetings with the Ripple and Coinbase teams. He described his interest as improving settlement, costs and transparency through integration with existing finance.

A company development missing from the earlier profile was the July 2025 collaboration with Soter Insure. Its announcement described cover combining dollar-denominated directors-and-officers and professional-indemnity limits with Bitcoin-denominated crime cover. Grant commented in his roles at Deus X Capital and Deus X Pay. The profile records the announced structure without repeating promotional claims about its novelty or promising a protection outcome.

In January 2026, Grant described a strategy spanning payments, treasury, prime services and institutional DeFi, including businesses such as Deus X Pay, Cor Prime and Solstice. That published interview provides a dated account of the company's operating model before his Paris panel, while the Soter announcement adds a concrete example of operational infrastructure beyond investment deployment.
