About Nexus Re

(Re)insurance built for what's next.

Nexus Re Risk Capital, Ltd. is a Cayman Islands (re)insurer built for the risks defining the next economy: digital assets, artificial intelligence, data centers, space, fintech, insurtech, biotech, and every frontier beyond.

Traditional (re)insurance was designed around risks with decades of loss history. The frontier doesn't have decades, but it still needs security. Our underwriters are specialists in the domains they cover, which lets us price exposures the broader market calls unmodellable and back them with real capacity.

Our approach

We arrive early.

By the time a risk has a name in the traditional market, we have usually been underwriting it for years. Getting there first is how the expertise gets built.

We go deeper.

Understanding a risk properly means we can offer more: broader wordings, bigger limits, and capacity that holds steady when others pull back.

We build to fit.

Off-the-shelf wordings rarely fit new industries. We design covers around the risk in front of us, however complex, however novel.

The portfolio

Diversified by design.

Digital assets

The market knows us as the best-in-class specialists for digital asset risk. It is the anchor of our book.

Frontier risks

AI, space, fintech, biotech, and the rest of the frontier: risks that reward genuine technical underwriting.

Hard-to-place reinsurance

General reinsurance that others struggle to place, rounding the portfolio into a genuinely diversified book.

Security and governance

Built to endure.

We insure the newest risks in the world, so we run our house on the oldest standards in the industry. Resilience is the goal behind every structure we put in place, and we build alongside world-class partners who share that standard.

Independent audit

Our financial statements are audited annually by Grant Thornton, one of the world's leading audit firms.

Insurance management

Day-to-day governance and regulatory compliance run with Aon Insurance Managers, the market leader in (re)insurance management.

Asset management

Our investment portfolio is managed by AAM, one of the best insurance asset managers in the world, under a conservative mandate set by our investment committee.

Board committees

Dedicated underwriting, audit, and investment committees oversee every material decision, with clear mandates and independent challenge.

Independent actuaries

External actuaries provide independent loss reserving opinions each year, validating that our claims reserving practices are accurate and prudent.

Regulatory supervision

Licensed and supervised by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority.

Our journey

Forged at the frontier.

Nexus Re is part of the Nexus Mutual group, home to the deepest underwriting experience and technical risk expertise in the digital assets industry, by a long margin. That expertise wasn't bought. It was built, year by year, at the edge of the market.

  1. 2019

    First to the risk

    Nexus Mutual launches as the original onchain cover protocol, underwriting smart contract risk when no traditional carrier would quote it. No loss history, no actuarial tables: engineers who could read the code, pricing risk from first principles.

  2. The build

    Learning what no one else could

    The book broadens into custody, staking and slashing, and depeg covers. Every product is written without precedent and refined through live exposure to the fastest-moving risk landscape in insurance. The expertise compounds with every cycle.

  3. The proof

    Proven when it mattered

    Claims paid through the industry's defining failures, from protocol exploits to exchange collapses. Paid quickly, when policyholders needed it most, while much of the market was still debating definitions.
