Innovative crypto wallet insurance coverage for crypto custodian Tangany

Munich, April 26, 2023 - Tangany, a custodian of digital assets regulated by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), will provide its customers additional insurance protection against theft of assets from their wallets. This innovative coverage concept was developed for Tangany in collaboration between Munich Re, a leading global provider of reinsurance, primary insurance and insurance-related risk solutions, and Marsh, the world's leading insurance broker and risk advisor. The risk carrier is Great Lakes SE, a subsidiary of Munich Re.

The safekeeping of digital assets such as cryptocurrencies, crypto securities, security tokens and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) is essential for both private and institutional investors. With the adoption of the EU Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation from 20th of April 2023, the crypto market will be comprehensively regulated, which may further increase the demand for professional custody solutions and adequate insurance concepts. 

We are very pleased to be working closely with Marsh and Munich Re to provide our clients with another important element of security in the custody of their digital assets. This also sets a positive signal for the high-quality standards in the regulated market here.

With innovative coverages such as the concept now provided by Marsh, we help clients meet the changing demands in a regulated market and operate successfully. In particular, the solution developed with Munich Re will help build confidence for the further establishment of the sector.

The demand for secure custody solutions for digital assets will increase. In this respect, specialized and licensed solution providers in reliable jurisdictions play a prominent role. The insurance solution developed with Tangany and Marsh makes an important contribution to strengthening this value proposition and the necessary client trust.
