Blockchain x trade credit insurance
Trade credit insurance may not be the first vertical that jumps to mind when thinking of insuretech and innovation, and yet it is ripe for reinvention. And with all the hype on blockchain, one can only wonder where to start with DLT in trade credit insurance:
- Should credit insurers join blockchain-based bank-led consortiums? Should they build their own trade consortium, more focused on trade and risk mitigation than on financing?
- Should they look into blockchain to address more fundamental data challenges? Or even to bet on emerging distributed machine-learning marketplaces?
- Should they try to offer trade credit insurance or surety bonds to blockchain businesses, crypto exchanges, and other verticals linked to DLT? And where to start then?
