WTW has acquired Redefind, a crypto‑insurance platform, in a move that significantly expands its digital asset protection capabilities.
The deal positions WTW to offer regulated, next‑generation insurance solutions for clients exposed to crypto, tokenised assets and broader digital finance risks.
“As digital assets continue to move further into the mainstream, demand for credible regulated protection solutions is increasing,” said Alastair Swift, head of global specialities at WTW.
“We are committed to supporting clients in navigating emerging financial and technology risks and to delivering trusted, regulated solutions backed by our global insurance expertise.”
“We are delighted to have acquired Redefind and welcome its founders to WTW,” added Anthony Borgman, head of GB Affinity.
“This marks an important milestone in WTW’s broader digital strategy, providing a foundation to expand our capabilities in digital asset protection and crypto insurance.”
WTW said the acquisition brings Redefind’s founders, Richard Daws and Connor Edward, into the company as the platform becomes part of its Affinity practice. The service will initially launch in the UK, with plans for wider market expansion as the offering develops.
Redefind provides an end‑to‑end, web‑based platform enabling individuals and institutions to purchase insurance for cryptocurrency and digital assets across all forms of custody.
Its non‑custodial, cost‑of‑recovery model is designed to support asset owners in cases of theft or loss, covering expenses such as forensic investigation, asset tracing and legal recovery.
WTW said the acquisition aligns with its long‑term strategy to build out next‑generation protection solutions for clients operating in digital finance and tokenised asset environments.
Redefind’s platform uses cryptographic proof of ownership to make previously uninsurable digital assets insurable, offering enterprise‑grade infrastructure for a rapidly evolving market.
WTW, which operates in 140 countries, said the move strengthens its position in the digital economy and supports its broader ambition to help organisations manage emerging risks across people, capital and technology.
