Cor Prime, a recently launched crypto prime broker and part of Deus X Capital, appointed seasoned finance executive Tim Bevan as its CEO. The move comes as the firm gears up for its go-live phase and positions itself as a regulated player in institutional digital asset lending.

Bevan takes over from Deus X Capital CEO Tim Grant, who had been acting as CEO during Cor Prime’s build-out phase.

“Very excited to have joined Cor Prime as CEO, Bevan announced on LinkedIn. It’s an incredibly talented group of people dedicated to delivering what the digital assets market desperately needs: access to wholesale finance through sophisticated & regulated global infrastructure.

Bevan most recently served as CEO of ETC Group, a crypto ETF issuer, for four years. He exited the firm following its acquisition by Bitwise in late 2023. Before that, Bevan led BCS Global Markets’ UK operations and oversaw global prime services for seven years.

Based in London, Cor Prime aims to offer principal and prime lending services to institutional players in digital assets. The firm is reportedly seeking regulatory approval in Bermuda and Abu Dhabi, where it intends to be initially licensed. It also plans to operate globally, targeting institutions with wholesale finance needs through a risk-managed infrastructure.
