Insuring Digital Assets

Canadian Bitcoin Consortium

Commercial liability, D&O and Cyber insurance have become table stakes for most companies today, especially for high growth tech companies

Commercial liability, D&amp;O and Cyber insurance have become table stakes for most companies today, especially for high growth tech companies that are becoming a major pillar of Canada’s economy. For most of these companies acquiring adequate operating insurance coverage is pretty straightforward. Unfortunately this is not the case for blockchain and digital asset businesses, especially if you take custody of those assets.
At the same time, there is strong institutional and regulatory demand for insurance in this sector. However, like banking, the coverage that is available to companies that deal with blockchain technology is very difficult to obtain and once obtained is often inadequate and/or cost prohibitive. Especially when a company takes custody of crypto assets or customer funds.
This has lead to some creative solutions that range from bespoke policies offered by traditional insurers like Lloyd’s of London, to self insurance solutions employed by Binance and BitGo, to a captive structure created by Gemini in Bermuda, to on-chain insurance products like Risk Harbour. 
With the accelerating adoption of crypto assets across the world, it’s clear that adequate insurance and risk mitigation solutions are required if this industry is to safely play a prominent role in Canada’s economic future. The Canadian Blockchain Consortium FinTech Committee is very excited to present a panel of experts from the insurance and digital asset sector to discuss these challenges and opportunities.

This event is free to attend and will be recorded and uploaded to the Canadian Blockchain Consortium YouTube channel.
