SuretyBlock is a decentralized captive insurance solution that aims to provide trade associations, organizations, and event organizers with the option to insure themselves against various liabilities using the power of blockchain technology to pool and distribute funds.
Marsh, a global leader in insurance broking and risk management, reported that the gross written premiums in the captive insurance industry grew from US $54 billion in 2019 to nearly $61 billion in 2020. If similar year-over-year trends continue, then gross written premiums could grow to well over $100 billion by 2030.
SuretyBlock’s decentralized solution for the captive insurance industry can help reduce the combined cost ratio down to 80 percent, compared to traditional market solutions that have a combined cost ratio of as much as 90 percent and upwards. This can result in a potential increase in profitability by as much as 20 percent or more.
Other benefits of captives include broader coverages, lower premiums, profit sharing, customized coverages and improved cash flow and claims handling.
The first decentralized product from SuretyBlock, called Eagle1, will be launching this month. Eagle1 is a Hole-in-One insurance platform for the golf industry, making it easier, quicker and more efficient for hole-in-one prizes to be obtained and issued on golf courses. The decentralized solution can support golf associations and tournament organizers with unique and custom hole-in-one prize-pools and payouts.
“Insurance is a heavily intermediated business. Captives offer the best opportunity to showcase the disintermediation benefits of blockchain technology in a way that clearly benefits insureds and the groups that represent them,” said Kevin Day, CTO at OFB and the head of SuretyBlock.
In March, SuretyBlock signed a fronting agreement with Fortress Insurance, a well-capitalized national Canadian insurance provider operating since 2004. This fronting agreement enables SuretyBlock to enlist and serve trade associations, organizations, and event organizers across western Canada.
SuretyBlock’s underlying technology will be adapted for glass repair, weather, and strata insurance solutions. The first two applications, glass repair and weather, are expected to launch by Q4 2022.

Elizabeth Warren Urges Treasury Secretary Yellen to Implement Strong AML/CFT Measures for Stablecoins
In a recent communication directed to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, US Senator Elizabeth Warren has strongly advocated for the incorporation of robust Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) measures specifically tailored for stablecoins. Senator Warren’s correspondence underscores the critical importance of adopting the full array of AML tools outlined by the Treasury Department in a prior November 2023 communication to Congress.
Senator Warren has underscored the burgeoning threat posed by cryptocurrencies, particularly stablecoins, to national security. She has specifically drawn attention to instances where entities like Iran and Hamas have turned to cryptocurrencies as a means to raise funds and support terrorist activities. To effectively address this evolving threat landscape, Senator Warren asserts that any forthcoming crypto legislation must encompass comprehensive AML/CFT authorities as requested by the Treasury Department.
Moreover, Senator Warren has made reference to the testimony provided by Deputy Secretary Adewale O. ‘Wally’ Adeyemo before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. In this testimony, Adeyemo emphasized the critical need for additional AML authorities to combat the growing menace posed by cryptocurrencies. Senator Warren has pointed out that the exclusion of crucial actors within the digital asset ecosystem, such as miners and validators, from AML/CFT requirements could potentially enable nefarious actors to exploit the increased crypto trading facilitated by stablecoin legislation.
Senator Warren’s steadfast stance on the regulation and oversight of cryptocurrencies is aligned with her prior efforts aimed at curbing illicit activities and safeguarding consumers, the financial system, and national security interests. She has persistently advocated for the closure of loopholes in AML regulations that allow sanctioned entities like Iran to derive revenue through crypto transactions. Furthermore, Senator Warren has consistently voiced concerns regarding the exploitation of cryptocurrencies in terrorist financing schemes and has called for the implementation of stronger regulatory frameworks to protect both consumers and national security interests within the realm of stablecoin-related legislation.
