how do you assess the security level of the exchanges?
We developed a scoring model in partnership with Group IB, a well-known company with a long history in cybersecurity. They are one of the leaders in their field in Eastern Europe. Based on this scoring model, we deemed 24 exchanges and wallets eligible to be insured. Obviously, they are fairly large exchanges with extensive customer bases and high traded values. As for the other exchanges with an unclear level of risk, we have developed a special approach to form an insurance fund at the expense of the exchange, which functions as a franchise.

Do you insure the accounts of these traders depending on the size of the assets contained on them?
We were forced to introduce a limit of liability the total amount of the insured assets should not exceed 15 BTC. The amount of insurance coverage on the policy is from 5 to 15 Bitcoins depending on the exchange. And this is due to the fact that during the analysis of our target audience it was revealed that our potential customers hold on their accounts an average of 0.1 to 15 Bitcoins. The figure may not seems so significant, but this amount is often enough to cover the funds of one particular trader.
Tell more about the type of insurance you provide? As far as I got, cryptoins insure against the total crush of an exchange only.. Whats the percentage of the sum insured?
Crypto Insurance protects any user's funds (BTC, ETH, USDT, XMR, BCC, etc.) on crypto exchanges.

Do you really insure the accounts on the crypto exchanges, and not cold wallets ?! This is a significant step towards crypto traders.
Based on the information posted in the insurance section of the site, Coinbase provides property insurance (that is, insurance for cold wallets and carriers), and not the crypto assets contained in the accounts of the clients of the exchange. CRYPTOINS, unlike Coinbase, insures the savings themselves.

Re: Group-IB and CryptoIns want to insure clients of crypto exchanges
How many exchanges will fall in 2019? Sure it depends on BTC rates. If the rates will be low, the numbers will be grate!
In the face of a falling cap of the cryptocurrency market, absolutely even the largest and most famous crypto exchange can leave the market. We need to be vigilant and try to protect our assets as soon as possible.
We developed a scoring model in partnership with Group IB, a well-known company with a long history in cyber security. They are one of the leaders in their field in Eastern Europe. Based on this scoring model, we deemed 24 exchanges and wallets eligible to be insured. Obviously, they are fairly large exchanges with extensive customer bases and high traded values. As for the other exchanges with an unclear level of risk, we have developed a special approach to form an insurance fund at the expense of the exchange, which functions as a franchise. In the event of a loss, this fund will initially be used to cover it, with subsequent indemnification from the insurer. It gives the exchange incentive to ensure stable operation.
Okay.. but who is your target audience?
We estimate there is approximately 3.6 million bitcoins in user accounts on cryptocurrency exchanges. Our customer profile is a man between 26 and 55, who keeps a USD equivalent of up to $50,000 on his cryptocurrency accounts. The risk we cover is exchange collapse, for example, if it were to stop operating due to overwhelming hacker attacks or fraudulent activities on the part of the staff.
Hey! Why do you pay compensation in bitcoins only?
At the first stage, it was necessary to determine the prime cryptocurrency, on the basis of which we could recalculate all available funds in the investor?s portfolio, or in other words, we was needed to bring all indicators to a common denominator. And since the largest crypto exchanges often convert all currencies into Bitcoin, this is also economically feasible.
