The Canadian Bitcoin Consortium has launched Blockchain Insurance Inc., a newly licensed Alberta-based insurer serving digital asset and fintech businesses. Structured as an association-owned captive insurer, the entity is owned by its members rather than a third-party carrier. The goal is to reduce insurance costs and improve coverage access for crypto-adjacent firms.
Executive director Koleya Karringten called the move “historic,” signalling recognition that digital asset risk is now quantifiable and manageable. The company does not insure cryptocurrencies directly but provides commercial coverage for exchanges, custodians, and infrastructure providers. The launch marks a step toward institutional maturity within Canada’s digital asset ecosystem.
