FloodFlash announce partnership with Hiscox
Capacity deal to accelerate US growth ambitions
LONDON, Aug. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — FloodFlash, the first insurance technology company to offer sensor-enabled parametric flood insurance, has today announced a new partnership with Hiscox.
Hiscox is already an active participant in the US flood insurance market, and as a capacity provider for FloodFlash will support the market appetite for parametric as an efficient option for catastrophe covers. They join Munich Re, whose parametric expertise Hiscox will complement with market-leading knowledge of launching successful flood products in the US.
Despite the prevalence of flood risk in America, it plays host to the largest flood protection gap in the world. FloodFlash is now available across every state.
In the UK where the business initially launched, FloodFlash has set new records for the fastest property flood claim payout, thanks to the proprietary IoT sensor technology. In November 2022 they paid one client in full less than four hours after they flooded. These rapid claims provide a lifeline to businesses that often have no other options for affordable and comprehensive coverage.
FloodFlash Head of Major Accounts and Capacity Management Richard Coyle comments: “We’re delighted to bolster our US capacity with a carrier that has such expertise in the US flood market. This new partnership with Hiscox represents another key endorsement of the FloodFlash approach and, in addition to Munich Re, we have the ideal carrier team supporting us as a parametric flood insurance provider. In response to extraordinary demand since our launch in January, this additional fresh capacity will enable us to continue providing compelling coverage options for distressed businesses that may otherwise be faced with retaining uncomfortable levels of flood risk.”
Hiscox London Market’s Alternative Risk Underwriter, Tom King, comments: “FloodFlash has taken an innovative approach to the challenge of flood underinsurance in the US, and we are excited to expand our significant existing US flood footprint through their unique parametric product. The combination of innovation and expertise that this partnership represents is one that we believe can go some way to addressing the flood coverage gap that currently exists in the US.”
About FloodFlash
FloodFlash is a multi-award-winning insurance technology company at the forefront of the parametric insurance movement. Launched in the UK 2019 and in the US in 2022, their rapid-payout flood product provides coverage to businesses that struggle to secure flood terms anywhere else. They use the latest in data modelling and IoT technology to provide fast and flexible cover that pays claims in record times. FloodFlash is a registered coverholder at Lloyd’s of London and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Bybit x Block Scholes Derivatives Report Uncovers BTC Call Option Boom Amidst Election Uncertainty
DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, in collaboration with Blocks Scholes, is excited to unveil its latest crypto derivatives report. This insightful report explores the market’s response to recent price fluctuations and the backdrop of the upcoming U.S. election.
Key Insights:
Decline in BTC Options Implied Volatility: Surprisingly, implied volatility for Bitcoin (BTC) options has dropped, despite the looming U.S. election. Traditionally, market uncertainty would lead to increased volatility ahead of major events, like the much-anticipated BTC Spot ETF launch, making this a noteworthy deviation.
Surge in Call Option Volumes: BTC call option trading volumes have surged significantly in recent weeks, potentially signaling a shift towards a bullish market sentiment.
Muted Futures Activity: While futures trading saw positive momentum with early October’s market volatility, open interest has remained relatively subdued compared to pre-September expiration levels.
Spike in BTC Perpetual Swap Volumes: Open interest in BTC perpetual swaps remained stable; however, trading volumes surged in response to early October’s volatility spike, marking an important market movement.
Cautious Sentiment in ETH Options: Ethereum (ETH) options also saw a decline in implied volatility. Put option volumes have surpassed call volumes over the past week, suggesting traders are taking a more cautious stance regarding ETH’s future price movements.
