Appold Partners with Global Insurance Group, Howden
19 May 2026
Appold is pleased to announce a partnership with major global insurance group, Howden.
Through this partnership, Howden’s clients will have access to Appold’s expertise and comprehensive understanding of the digital asset risk ecosystem across both pre-emptive risk management and post-incident recovery.
Howden will embed Appold’s pre-emptive risk expertise alongside digital asset claims and recovery services, giving Howden clients access to services to help identify vulnerabilities, improve operational resilience, and reduce the likelihood and severity of incidents, ultimately giving Underwriters greater confidence to offer lower premiums.
Pete Osborne, Partner and Founder of Appold, said:
“This has been over a year in the making, with numerous engagements and consultations with insurance Underwriters. We are very pleased to be partnering with Howden on this important initiative supporting companies seeking more accurately priced digital asset and blockchain-related insurance.
Appold has long developed in-depth knowledge and expertise in digital asset-specific risk management and operational resilience. Appold’s operational resilience service is dedicated to ensuring that digital asset and blockchain companies can withstand, respond to, and recover from all types of ICT and operational risk-related disruptions and threats. We also assist companies holding digital assets in demonstrating robust operational resilience to counterparties, who expect strong governance of operational security. For Underwriters, this helps reduce exposure and, in turn, supports more accurate pricing and broader policy coverage.
The impact of this partnership goes beyond simply crypto-related insurance. Clients implementing a tighter systems-and-controls environment can also help reduce costs across other insurance lines, including Cyber, D&O, professional indemnity, custody, and crime. We look forward to working together with Howden to make a meaningful impact at the intersection of digital assets and insurance."
