Bermuda’s Anthea secures $22m to link life insurance with digital assets

Bermuda-based crypto life insurer Anthea Holdings has raised $22 million in Series A funding, advancing its mission to merge life insurance with digital asset innovation.

With its vision to combine life insurance with digital assets, the company has attracted meaningful interest from global investors. The funding round was led by Yunfeng Financial Group, alongside a diverse group of strategic and financial investors with expertise spanning insurance, asset management and fintech innovation.

The capital infusion will enable the launch of Anthea’s first life insurance product denominated in Ethereum – also the world’s first Ethereum life insurance product ever. In addition, it will support Anthea’s ongoing business operations, accelerate product development and innovation, and expand distribution networks and market presence across Asia.

Further to that, Anthea’s Series A funding round follows Anthea Insurance’s recent in-principle approval from the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA) to register as an Innovative Insurer.

Capital support from this funding round will further strengthen Anthea's commitment to organically embedding global best practice life insurance into the digital asset ecosystem – supporting integration with blockchain-based payment infrastructure, enabling yield generation and pursuing strategic innovations.

Anthea aims to create a seamless insurance experience tailored for both digital asset holders and traditional investors seeking regulated exposure to the digital asset space.

Alex Pei, CEO of Anthea, said: “This funding round is more than capital – it is a strategic alignment with partners who share our vision for the future of insurance. The past few years have seen the rise of regulated and consumer-centric products and institutions in the digital asset space; it is now time to bring the right combination of innovation and protection to the market.

“We are delighted to welcome investors with decades of experience in traditional finance and a shared appetite for innovation. Together, we are building a global platform where digital assets and life insurance converge.”
