Temple Capital, a crypto hedge fund, significantly bolstered its senior management team with key hires from prominent financial institutions. This strategic expansion signals a period of growth and ambition for the firm.
The appointments include Guy Griffiths as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Griffiths brings extensive experience, having spent 19 years at the London-based macro hedge fund, Brevan Howard. His deep understanding of financial markets and management will be invaluable to Temple Capital’s operations.

His skills in developing and applying complex models are expected to refine and enhance Temple Capital’s investment processes.
Currently managing $120 million in assets, Temple Capital benefits from substantial backing by prominent investors Bain Capital and Pantera Capital. This infusion of capital and strategic partnerships not only underscores the confidence in Temple Capital’s potential but also provides the resources to support its ambitious growth trajectory. The new hires, with their combined expertise in finance, crypto, and quantitative analysis, are expected to play a critical role in shaping the future of this burgeoning crypto hedge fund.
