More about Kim Grant

More about yourself: Kim reports on crypto with a foot in two worlds: the courtroom and the boardroom. She spent years in legal aid before flipping into finance, then jumped into crypto compliance just as a small Canadian exchange was heating up. She stayed through the growing pains, the shady offshore pivot, and the endless regulator footsie. Now she manages risk at a major bank, but moonlights as a crypto writer/editor with bite.

From: Montreal, Canada.

Education and experience: Diplôme d’études collégiales in paralegal studies, business degree from McGill. Worked in legal aid, crypto exchange compliance, now a risk analyst in banking.

How did you get into crypto: Joined a startup exchange out of curiosity. Left with a crash course in chaos.

Favorite altcoins: Ethereum, USDT :).

Financial disclosure (altcoins held): Holds small positions in BTC and ETH. All opinions are her own.

Roles: Editor, fact-checking.
