Lloyd’s of London, the insurance giant, is backing a new policy that will keep cryptocurrency held in online wallets safe from theft by hack.

Offered by Coincover, a crypto "lifestyle" service provider, the insurance is underwritten by Lloyd's insurance syndicate Atrium, Coincover revealed on Sunday. The liability policy is reportedly a new type of insurance with a dynamic limit that can increase or decrease in line with how the price changes of covered crypto assets.

Offering coverage with limits starting from £1,000 (US$1,280), the policy was created to safeguard investors and traders from losses arising from the theft of crypto held in online, or "hot," wallets.
