Nicolas Louvet is CEO of Coinhouse, a Paris-based regulated crypto investment and services platform he has led since October 2017. He is also CEO of Coinhouse Custody Services (CCS), the group's custodial subsidiary, which he has run since November 2018. Before joining Coinhouse, he spent 15 years with European venture capital funds, including Sofinnova and Serena Capital, where he made over 50 investments in and exits from companies across Europe and the United States. He is a graduate of the École normale supérieure Paris-Saclay.

Under his leadership, Coinhouse became the first crypto asset service provider registered by France's Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) in March 2020, and subsequently registered by Luxembourg's CSSF in December 2021. He led a strategic fundraising round in 2022 that funded new product development and European expansion. In 2018, he oversaw the rebranding from La Maison du Bitcoin to Coinhouse and the shift toward an online, service-oriented model. Coinhouse is currently pursuing MiCA authorisation. In April 2026, Louvet participated as a panellist at The Big Whale's Corporate Breakfast in Paris, addressing how French banks, fintechs, and asset managers are engaging with digital assets. In a 2025 interview, he outlined a consolidation strategy for the European crypto market, identifying acquisition, merger, or being acquired as necessary paths forward, and referenced a banking licence as a medium-term objective.
