It believes its smart insurance contracts can be applied to facilitate the underwriting of digital asset risk and to provide a liquid market for ILS trading.

Nayms chose Bermuda due to its strong ILD market, as well as progressive legislation and regulation for digital asset businesses.

The insurtech is a collaboration between co-founder and CEO Daniel Roberts and incubator Insurtech Gateway.
