Crypto asset insurance is gaining momentum as a standard among a variety of businesses in the crypto asset space as of late 2019/2020. We definitely need more insurance policy implementations among the DeFi products/dApp. Feel free to add your options to the article, and all comments/edits are welcome!

Insurance of crypto assets? That sounds impossible to me because there are several reasons why it won't work. The first and biggest reason is that crypto is volatile or better still unpredictable, therefore with this high volatility, how then can an insurance company insure crypto assets? that means they will run at high losses.  Another is, one of the good things about crypto is decentralization, having control over your assets, thus insuring your assets under a platform might end up exposing users to different types of manipulation, thefts etc. Hacking is also another reason to think of.
