As the awareness, acceptance, and popularity of cryptocurrencies has increased, so too has the ecosystem which supports and services these new assets and their owners. This ecosystem includes cryptocurrency exchanges, depositories, issuers, wallets, and miners.

We have seen cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, soar in value. This expanding ecosystem and rising valuations have led to a significant increase in risks that require an innovative risk-transfer solution.
