“With Bitfury as a strategic partner, combined with our commitment to innovation and improving resilience, we are confident that we can serve as first movers in driving Blockchain’s adoption across the entire insurance value chain.

ABOUT THE PARTNERSHIP
Despite the scale of the global insurance industry, which writes more than $5.5 trillion in annual premiums, most natural, man-made and emerging risks remain unfunded or underinsured. This underinsurance challenge is hindered by the legacy systems and technologies that dominate established insurance providers.
The key attributes of the Bitfury and Risk Cooperative partnership are to enhance trust, transparency, efficiency and security in the origination, underwriting, quoting and transfer of insurable risk.
Bitfury and Risk Cooperative believe that Blockchain is a foundational technology in designing new levels of access that can help improve insurance company risk appetite, customer proximity and trust. Additionally, the partnership will serve as a catalyst to established industry players helping them overcome organizational and cultural apprehension to Blockchain by serving as an implementing partner and advisor.
