Bluprynt and Chainproof Launch ‘Verified D&O’ Insurance for the Digital Asset Economy

Published

Verified D&O introduces a new underwriting signal for digital assets: continuously verifiable issuer identity and collateral evidence.

HAMILTON, Bermuda, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bluprynt and Chainproof today announced Verified D&O, a new kind of Directors & Officers insurance framework designed for the digital-asset economy. The premise is simple: the decision-makers who issue, hold, or accept a token all carry liability for that choice — and when a token can prove who stands behind it and what backs it, underwriters gain a new class of verifiable information. Institutions whose tokens carry Bluprynt’s Know Your Issuer (KYI) and Proof of Collateral (PoC) credentials qualify for independent Verified D&O underwriting through Chainproof. Verified D&O rewards transparency. Issuers that can prove who they are and what backs their assets gain access to a streamlined underwriting pathway built specifically for digital assets.

The problem: good decisions are priced like reckless ones

Directors and officers carry personal liability for the digital-asset decisions they make — whether they’re issuing a token, holding it in custody, listing it on an exchange, or accepting it as collateral. But it is stubbornly hard to verify the evidence behind those decisions: who the issuer is, and what actually backs the asset. Both are still assessed from static documents and periodic audits. Without a continuous, machine-verifiable signal, directors and officers associated with a well-governed, fully collateralized token are often underwritten on the same thin evidence as those associated with one that is not.

Recent market events have shown how quickly assumptions about issuer identity, asset backing, and token supply can break down. Yet most underwriting still relies on static disclosures, periodic audits, and self-reported documentation. Verified D&O introduces continuously verifiable evidence into that process.

How Verified D&O works

The collaboration integrates Bluprynt’s issuer and collateral verification technology directly into the underwriting process. Know Your Issuer confirms who stands behind a token — the legal entity and where it’s registered, who owns and controls it, and the directors and officers a D&O policy would cover. Proof of Collateral confirms what backs the token, tracing every layer that supports it — contracts, vaults, bridges, and custody accounts — and verifying the collateral is real and matches the issuer’s claims at a specific point in time.

Through the collaboration, an issuer completes both credentials; the results are sealed on-chain as tamper-proof, independently checkable evidence and shared with Chainproof; and Chainproof uses that evidence to streamline underwriting and deliver Verified D&O eligibility.

Availability

Verified D&O launches with an initial pilot under BMA jurisdiction, beginning with non-custodial, smart-contract-native real-world-asset issuers and extending to the institutions that hold and accept their tokens. The launch participant will be named separately. Bluprynt is already actively involved in embedded supervision pilots in Bermuda with the BMA and other leading digital asset infrastructure companies.

“For too long, the corporate leaders who stood behind a well-governed, collateralized token have been underwritten in the same way, and at the same cost, as those who stood behind something far riskier, and at times nothing at all. Verified D&O changes that. By verifying issuer identity and collateral, we’re giving issuers and underwriters something they’ve never had: a way to reward good decisions and sound governance. Transparency should lower your cost of doing business — not just your regulatory risk. That’s the principle Bluprynt was built on, and Verified D&O is the first market to price it.”
— Christopher J. Brummer, Chief Executive Officer, Bluprynt

“At Chainproof, we want to bring D&O insurance to the world. By teaming up with Bluprynt, we are able to streamline the underwriting process making it transparent for all participants. We believe the best institutions want to focus on delivering value to their customers; by pioneering a new way to prove once, share everywhere, compliance can move at the speed of business.”
— Don Ho, Chief Executive Officer, Chainproof

Volvo Group

For the first time in Europe, Germany is bringing together the full ecosystem needed to scale the deployment of hydrogen trucks by 2030, combining supportive policy frameworks, a strong OEM offering and an integrated hydrogen supply chain and infrastructure.Volvo Group, Daimler Truck, Toyota Motor Corporation, Bosch, Air Liquide, TotalEnergies, TEAL Mobility, MB Energy, and more companies accelerate the commercialization of hydrogen-powered mobility and build the ecosystem needed to scale it along the whole value chain, with vehicles, infrastructure and supply. The activities include the deployment of hydrogen refueling stations along key strategic corridors in Europe, in synchronization with the hydrogen-powered truck fleets as well as a competitive hydrogen price. This will enable customers to operate hydrogen-powered vehicles with a competitive total cost of ownership. Full details will be unveiled at a CEO-led press event during IAA Transportation in Hanover on 15 September.

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Leading companies from the transport, energy and industrial sectors, together with German policymakers, are collaborating to establish a benchmark for a fully integrated hydrogen mobility ecosystem for heavy-duty transport. They reflect a shared ambition to scale hydrogen with a focus on customer-oriented refueling infrastructure and competitively priced hydrogen fuel.

Delivering a comprehensive hydrogen ecosystem that complements battery-electric solutions requires coordinated development across the entire value chain with focus on commercializing competitive vehicles, deploying strategically located refueling infrastructure aligned with customer needs, and ensuring reliable access to hydrogen at viable price levels. Together, these elements can create the conditions for a competitive total cost of ownership and position hydrogen as a practical, scalable solution for zero-emission transport.

CFD Broker Mitrade EU Introduces Excess-of-Loss Insurance Protection for Its Clients

Published

16 minutes ago

September 3, 2026

LIMASSOL, Cyprus, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CFD broker Mitrade has arranged additional insolvency insurance for eligible clients onboarded under its CySEC licence. The initiative reflects a broader focus on strengthening client confidence and investor protection.

This excess-of-loss policy supplements protections CySEC already mandates. CySEC-authorised investment firms are required to segregate client funds and contribute to the Investor Compensation Fund. Beyond those statutory safeguards, Mitrade EU Limited’s discretionary insurance coverage has been arranged through Lloyd’s of London and funded by Mitrade. It is automatically available to eligible clients without an opt-in requirement or additional client charge.

Should Mitrade EU Limited become insolvent, the policy may cover eligible claims, subject to its terms, conditions and exclusions, up to a maximum aggregate amount of €1 million across all claims combined. It does not cover trading losses or losses caused by market movements.

“Regulation sets the baseline; we decide how much further to go for clients,” said Timur Konsky, CEO of Mitrade EU. “That is why we put additional insurance in place with Lloyd’s of London. Our approach is to identify where clients can be protected and take steps to reduce those risks. Transparency and safety should not be marketing language; they should be demonstrated through the safeguards a broker chooses to put in place. We want our clients to judge us by our actions, and this policy is another concrete example of that commitment.”

Mitrade EU’s excess-of-loss insurance cover takes effect from 1 September 2026.
