- 1 Evertas announced per policy coverage limit on custodial crypto assets is now $420 Million.
- 2 Maximum Insurance limits on crypto mining hardware, a new product offering, are $200 Million.
Evertas, an insurance company focused on digital assets, declares expansion in the coverage limits and adding mining operations to its coverage limits. J. Gdanski, CEO of the company, said this expansion would help in the development of the Web3 ecosystem by helping close the enormous digital asset insurance gap.
This has long hindered technological advancement in the sector. He also added that less than one percent of digital assets are protected by insurance. This highlights the deficiencies in the area, which Evertas are now solving. The dramatic increase in the insurance limit shows that the crypto space is maturing and moving in the right direction.
Maximum Limit for Crypto Mining – $200 Million
The CEO stated that Everta’s announcement of an expansion of policy limits to $420 Million makes it a leading crypto insurance company. The limit on crypto mining hardware is $200 Million.
The crypto insurance company increases the coverage limit for a single policy, and it is the highest in the industry. The $420 Million coverage will include the theft or hacking of private keys or codes used to authorize the transaction and prove the ownership. Previously, the single policy limit was just $5 Million.
Everts President Raymond Zenkich says that this expansion in capacity will deliver two key benefits to the crypto innovators. Firstly, they will benefit from greatly increased speed and simplicity. It is possible to get full, high-limit underwriting from a single source.
Secondly, they will get an advantage from much-needed scalability, as the policy size can expand along with the needs of growing ventures without requiring additional underwritings.
