We are delighted to support OSL in their ongoing goal of setting the highest standards for regulated and insured safeguarding of digital assets."

Jeff Hanson, Senior Vice President at Paragon International Insurance Brokers Ltd in London, said: "We have exhausted the international marketplace, bringing new insurance capacity into the sector, and are pleased to have reached this significant milestone for OSL, which is the first of its kind in the market. We value the collaboration with OSL which has helped us secure the maximum capacity available for a digital asset custodian."

Dan Dibden, Co-Founder of Capstone Insurance Brokers Ltd based in Hong Kong, commented: "This is a very exciting moment for all involved. A significant amount of hard work over many years has gone into this placement and we are thrilled to have secured this programme for OSL."
