Binance Insurance Expected to Cover Only a Small Share of Theft Losses

Insurance is expected to cover only a small share of Binance’s theft losses, leaving the exchange to cover most of the cost through other funds. Binance has directors and officers (D&O) liability insurance. The policy can address claims against executives tied to regulatory investigations or lawsuits. That is executive liability coverage; Binance has no cyber insurance policy. Binance’s Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU), a user protection fund, also has no external insurance or reinsurance. Across the crypto sector, cyber insurance is considered nearly impossible to obtain.
