Market scan of DeFi Risk Coverage platforms

Ecosystem overview July 8, 2021

The market for risk covers is moving rapidly

Decentralized finance (DeFi) has emerged as one of the most popular use cases in the crypto ecosystem over the past few years. In brief, DeFi can be described as financial software built with blockchain technology, and it has the potential to make financial applications more open and accessible. At Bright Union, we’re seeing an increasing number of DeFi teams building solutions in the DeFi coverage space, and this article aims to introduce the overview landscape and share knowledge collected around several of the most major protocols.

Highlights

• First-to-market Nexus Mutual is dominating the market with $514M worth of covered assets which resulted in+$15M of fees paid.
• Their partner ArmorFi is second best in terms of sales, reselling products which are covered by Nexus Mutual.
• Challengers InsurAce and Unslashed have growing liquidity (already worth over $80M) in their risk pools) and seem ready to grow their market share of sold covers in the coming weeks.
• Promising candidates with a large community are also ready to enter the market in the coming weeks: Watch out for Bridge Mutual, Tidal and Cover Protocol as they have learned from Nexus and are hitting the market with strong innovative products.
