Insurance is risk management, and if you are able to shoulder risk by accepting premiums and guarantee to pay in the event of loss - get this now - you have to have ACTUAL assets to pay the claims. Not fake assets, not fluctuating assets, not additional hedges except for reinsurers, but actual financial wherewithal that are stable. And not stable coins.
