The insurance industry has a long history of providing vital support for major leaps in innovation. It\u2019s no coincidence that the modern insurance industry and the industrial revolution arose in parallel. Indeed, it has been convincingly argued that the invention of fire and property insurance \u2014 in response to the Great Fire of London \u2014 lubricated the gears of capital investment that powered the industrial revolution and is likely the reason why it started in London. Through that first and each subsequent technological revolution, insurance has offered innovators and investors a safety net and served as an outside, objective validator of risk \u2014 thereby acting as a source of both the encouragement and the security needed to confidently test and break barriers.<\/p>\n
Today, we are in the midst of a new digital financial revolution, and the case for this new technology is clear and compelling. The recent White House executive order on \u201cEnsuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets\u201d further underscored this and was a watershed moment for the industry, elevating the discussion around the importance of the technology to the national stage and acknowledging its importance to the United States strategy, interests and global competitiveness.<\/p>\n
