<p>Bot: Creating new article from JSON</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>🔗 &#039;&#039;&#039;Non-fungible token (NFT)&#039;&#039;&#039; is a unique, cryptographically secured digital asset recorded on a [[Definition:Blockchain | blockchain]] that has begun to intersect with the insurance industry in two distinct ways: as an emerging class of insurable property and as a potential tool for policy documentation and [[Definition:Claims management | claims management]]. Unlike cryptocurrencies, each NFT is one-of-a-kind and cannot be exchanged on a like-for-like basis, which creates novel challenges for [[Definition:Underwriting | underwriting]], [[Definition:Valuation | valuation]], and [[Definition:Risk assessment | risk assessment]]. Insurers exploring [[Definition:Digital asset insurance | digital asset coverage]] must grapple with questions around authenticity, market volatility, and the legal status of ownership encoded on a distributed ledger.<br /> <br /> ⚙️ On the coverage side, a handful of [[Definition:Specialty insurance | specialty insurers]] and [[Definition:Insurtech | insurtechs]] have developed products that protect NFT holders against theft, smart-contract exploits, and custodial platform failures. Underwriting such risks requires evaluating the security architecture of the [[Definition:Digital wallet | digital wallet]] or custodian, the provenance and liquidity of the specific token, and the broader volatility of the NFT marketplace — none of which fit neatly into traditional [[Definition:Personal property insurance | personal property]] or [[Definition:Inland marine insurance | inland marine]] frameworks. Separately, some innovators have experimented with issuing insurance policies themselves as NFTs on a blockchain, theorizing that immutable, programmable records could streamline [[Definition:Policy administration | policy administration]], enable instant [[Definition:Proof of insurance | proof of insurance]], and automate [[Definition:Claims processing | claims processing]] through [[Definition:Smart contract | smart contracts]].<br /> <br /> 🌐 The significance for the insurance sector extends well beyond a niche product line. As digital assets become a larger share of personal and corporate wealth, the inability to insure them represents a protection gap that carriers cannot ignore indefinitely. [[Definition:Insurance regulator | Regulators]] are also paying attention — classification of NFTs as securities, property, or something else entirely will shape [[Definition:Policy wording | policy wording]], [[Definition:Exclusion | exclusions]], and [[Definition:Regulatory compliance | compliance]] obligations. Carriers and [[Definition:Managing general agent (MGA) | MGAs]] that build expertise in digital-asset risk now position themselves at the frontier of an asset class likely to demand sophisticated [[Definition:Risk transfer | risk transfer]] solutions for years to come.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Related concepts:&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> {{Div col|colwidth=20em}}<br /> * [[Definition:Blockchain]]<br /> * [[Definition:Digital asset insurance]]<br /> * [[Definition:Smart contract]]<br /> * [[Definition:Cyber insurance]]<br /> * [[Definition:Insurtech]]<br /> * [[Definition:Parametric insurance]]<br /> {{Div col end}}</div>
