Kevin de Patoul

Kevin de Patoul is the co-founder and CEO of Keyrock, a global crypto investment firm founded in 2017. For almost a decade, Kevin has championed digital assets to unlock utility across the full spectrum of finance, guided by his principles of trust, transparency, and long-term value creation.

Armed with a background in business engineering and international management, Kevin spent several years at Roland Berger as a management consultant. It was there that his early curiosity about crypto evolved into a core Keyrock conviction: that digital assets weren’t simply a new asset class, but the catalyst for a more efficient global financial system.

Under Kevin’s stewardship, Keyrock has matured into a leading crypto investment firm with two core activities: Capital Markets (market making, best execution, otc trading) and Asset Management. Keyrock provides liquidity to over 2000 digital markets globally and works with the world's leading financial institutions and asset managers to bridge the gaps between traditional and digital finance. Together with his team of over 200 people, Kevin has prioritised growth with purpose through regulatory clarity and institutional-grade infrastructure, laying the foundation for fully digital financial markets.
