Major investment for innovative crypto security startup Coincover
This is proving to be a good year for the cryptocurrency market with both significant growth and a new wave of potential crypto investors ready to join in. But there is just one thing keeping them from taking the plunge - a safety net. Coincover, on the way to becoming the #1 brand in crypto security and specialising in protecting cryptocurrencies held online, announced it has recently closed a growth funding round as it seeks to meet the growing demand from the cryptocurrency market
Insurtech Gateway led the round with significant investment from the Welsh Development Bank Technology fund. The investment in Coincover is at the leading edge of the nascent digital asset insurance sector estimated to be worth up to $3BN annually already.
Coincover was founded in 2018 by David Janczewski, who had spent several years leading The UK Royal Mint’s blockchain-enabled digital gold initiative and providing advice to other blockchain projects.
Protected by Coincover is fast becoming the way for a business to demonstrate it has fully compliant crypto offering and is fully covered against the risk of its customer investments being lost or stolen by Coincover‘s unique compliance, security and insurance product offering explicitly built for blockchain infrastructure.
And by providing Coincover protection direct to their customers, businesses can offer the world’s first way for consumers to take out protection for their investments, attracting more happy customers and creating an additional revenue stream in the process.
David Janczewski said: “Coincover helps crypto businesses to address the security concerns of the cautious investor and delivers the trust mark they need to stand out in a crowded and wary market. We are the only company in the world with a security product that is backed by Lloyds of London, providing protection from cryptocurrency theft at the individual level and an opportunity to maximise business revenue by enabling our partners to build systems that creates strong trust with their clients.”
Richard Chattock, CEO of the lead investor, Insurtech Gateway added: “Digital assets are growing at an exponential rate globally, and represent the next “blue ocean” for insurance and protection. Innovative solutions like those offered by Coincover are reducing the risks and barriers to digital asset adoption, and we were delighted to continue our support.”
David Janczewski continued: “Coincover is removing the last major barrier to the mass- market adoption of cryptocurrencies. We are already partnering with the world’s leading cryptocurrency solution providers to deliver the safest way into cryptocurrency. In the age of cryptocurrency vulnerability, businesses have to deal with people’s fear of lost or stolen funds."
