Insurance for blockchain businesses
Distributed ledger technology and smart contracts are at the forefront of modern technology, with blockchain being embedded into more and more of our traditional processes.

Insurance for digital assets
Millions of digital assets have fallen victim to highly publicised hacks. We work with custodians and exchanges using the industry’s best security practices to source specialist crime and cyber insurance for digital assets.

- Professional indemnity insurance (also known as errors and omissions insurance)
- Crime insurance (including employee theft)
- Cyber insurance (coverage for hacks and data breaches)
- Intellectual property insurance

FAQs
What goes into insuring a cutting-edge technology organisation?
We are able to provide our services to cutting-edge businesses because we have gathered a market-leading team of innovators, set on providing blockchain and cryptocurrency insurance. Our expertise will ensure we ask the right questions to understand, from a technical standpoint, both the traditional and unique risks to your organisation. We use this to create bespoke solutions, supported by the security of insurance’s largest underwriters, to protect businesses like yours.
Why should I insure my business?
Insurance has forever been a mark of prudent risk-management and long-term strategy for businesses. Although there are legal requirements for a company to carry ‘essential’ coverage, many technology enterprises see the value in bespoke risk transfer that they can depend on when their business needs it most.
Is insurance for businesses in the blockchain space easy to purchase?
To insurers, blockchain businesses are perceived as high-risk. Using a broker who understands your risks and can effectively explain it to underwriters will ensure that the underwriting of your business insurance is not skewed by this perception.
As a custodian, could I obtain insurance for my personal and commercial clients?
The London insurance market has made significant progression in providing worldwide custodian insurance since its first crypto custody policy in 2015. As the first insurtech to obtain Lloyd’s of London broker status, we are in a prime position to provide custodianship coverage for individual investors through to worldwide corporations.
Can you provide insurance using BTC or other cryptocurrency as limits?
We are working on innovative solutions that are pushing the envelope of insurance. We warmly invite you to partner with the Superscript Enterprise team to discuss how we can create market-leading solutions to secure your business’s next steps.
