'''Thomas Puech''' (born 4 November 1992) is a French entrepreneur, fund manager, and digital asset strategist based in [[London]], [[United Kingdom]]. He is the co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of [[INDIGO Fund]], an institutional digital asset yield platform, and Managing Partner of SH Digital, an institutional cryptocurrency brokerage. Puech is recognised as an early mover in institutional cryptocurrency markets in London, having entered the space in 2016, and has built a career focused on structured, liquid, and scalable digital asset yield solutions.

==Early Life and Background==

Thomas Puech was born on 4 November 1992 in [[Paris]], [[France]]. He comes from a family of entrepreneurs, with both parents having built businesses in the medical sector. This early exposure to entrepreneurship shaped his professional mindset from a young age.

He grew up in Paris before relocating to [[London]] following the completion of his [[baccalauréat]], in pursuit of higher education and international career opportunities. From an early age, he developed strong interests in music, finance, and emerging technologies. He first encountered cryptocurrency in 2016, which quickly became a central focus of his career trajectory.

A key turning point came in 2016 when he entered the crypto space while working as an analyst, positioning himself early in what would become a major global industry.

==Education==

Puech attended [[École des Roches]], a private institution in [[Normandy]], [[France]], for his secondary education. He subsequently pursued higher education across France and the United Kingdom.

He completed a Bachelor's Degree at the [[Grenoble École de Management]] (London campus), followed by a Master's Degree at [[Cass Business School]] — now known as [[Bayes Business School]] — part of [[City, University of London]]. His education, completed entirely between France and the United Kingdom, gave him an international business perspective early in his professional life.

==Career==

===Early Career in Traditional Finance===

Thomas Puech began his professional career in traditional finance. He joined '''Christofferson, Robb & Company''' (2017–2018) as a Business Analyst within a leading investment firm specialising in credit strategies, where he developed strong analytical skills and a foundation in institutional finance.

In 2018, he transitioned into a front-office role at '''Square Global Markets''' as an Equity Derivatives Sales-Trader, gaining direct exposure to market execution, client management, and trading environments.

===Enigma Securities (2018–2022)===

In 2018, Puech joined '''Enigma Securities''', one of the first [[Financial Conduct Authority]] (FCA)-regulated institutional cryptocurrency brokerage firms in London. Over the following years, he played a key role in the development of the firm, rising to the position of Managing Director.

During his tenure, he built deep expertise in:
*Institutional cryptocurrency trading
*Liquidity provision
*Market structure analysis
*Client relationship development

He worked closely with hedge funds, family offices, and crypto-native firms during the early institutional adoption phase of digital assets.

===INDIGO Fund — Co-Founder & CEO (2022–Present)===

After departing Enigma Securities in 2021, Puech identified a significant market inefficiency: billions of dollars in digital assets were sitting idle without optimised yield strategies. In early 2022, he co-founded '''[[INDIGO Fund]]''' alongside '''Nathanaël Cohen''' and international artist and entrepreneur '''BLOND:ISH'''.

[[INDIGO Fund]] was built to bridge traditional finance standards with [[decentralised finance]] (DeFi) opportunities, offering institutional-grade yield strategies with a strong focus on:
*Full liquidity, with no lock-up periods
*Risk management
*Execution quality

The fund launched with approximately [[United States dollar|US$]]5.5 million in initial capital from notable investors including '''Winklevoss Capital''', '''The Sandbox''', and leading cryptocurrency and hedge fund investors. It has since grown to over US$25 million in assets under management, attracting a global base of institutional investors, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals.

[[INDIGO Fund]] focuses on yield and market-neutral strategies across digital assets — including [[Bitcoin]], [[Ethereum]], [[Solana]], and stablecoins — leveraging DeFi infrastructure and market inefficiencies to generate consistent, risk-adjusted returns.

As Co-Founder and CEO, Puech is responsible for:
*Defining the fund's strategic direction
*Leading capital raising and investor relationships
*Structuring and scaling institutional yield products
*Overseeing partnerships and ecosystem development

Notable clients and partners include Winklevoss Capital, The Sandbox, the CEO of MoonPay, and Barry Sternlicht, CEO of Starwood Capital.

===SH Digital — Managing Partner (2022–Present)===

In parallel with [[INDIGO Fund]], Puech co-founded '''SH Digital''' with Nathanaël Cohen. SH Digital is an institutional cryptocurrency brokerage platform providing:
*Cryptocurrency-to-fiat on/off-ramp solutions
*Large-scale trade execution
*Liquidity and treasury services

The company serves a global client base including hedge funds, corporates, and payment companies, acting as a bridge between traditional finance and digital assets.

===NRG Token — Co-Creator (2026–Present)===

In 2026, Puech co-created '''NRG''', a community-driven token bridging [[Web3]], culture, and music. The project enables access to exclusive experiences and represents a new model of community engagement at the intersection of digital finance and entertainment.

==Areas of Expertise==

Puech's core areas of professional expertise include:
*Fund strategy and investment design
*Capital raising and investor relations
*Execution of market-neutral DeFi strategies
*Business development and partnerships

==Industry Events and Public Engagement==

Puech has been an active organiser and participant within the global blockchain and digital asset community. Notable engagements include:

*'''Paris Blockchain Week 2026 — Eiffel Tower Closing Event''': Hosted the official closing party of Paris Blockchain Week at the [[Eiffel Tower]], attended by over 300 institutional and industry guests, alongside INDIGO Fund and the NRG token community.

==Media Coverage==

In 2026, he was quoted by ''[[Reuters]]'' on institutional cryptocurrency flows, commenting on the absence of significant capital outflows from the [[United Arab Emirates]] despite regional geopolitical instability. Coverage of INDIGO Fund's performance and growth has appeared in ''[[Business Insider]]'', ''[[Yahoo Finance]]'', ''Access Newswire'', ''Cointribune'', and the ''Universal Business Journal''.

==Personal Life==

Outside of his professional activities, Puech has a strong personal interest in music production and DJing, with active involvement in the global electronic music scene. His passion for music and electronic culture runs alongside his engagement in financial markets and technology.
