On May 31, Cointelegraph reported that at least three specialized insurers are developing customized (K&R) theft and foreclosure insurance for crypto asset investors, with the first products expected to be available as early as this fall. Recently, there has been an increase in threats of violence against crypto billionaires, including the attempted kidnapping of the Noizat family, the co-founder of French trading platform Paymium, and a $730,000 heist in Seoul, South Korea, disguised as a cryptocurrency exchange. According to a report by private security firm Infinite Risks International, the demand for bodyguards hired by crypto-rich people has grown by 300% year-on-year since May. Rebecca Rubenfeld, COO of AnchorWatch Insurance, said at the Bitcoin 2025 conference that she will launch an exclusive cryptocurrency product for individual kidnapping and ransom insurance in the fall. Andrew Kurth, vice president of Hylant Capital, commented: "This is not a high-frequency risk, but an extremely serious event, just like the kidnapping of corporate executives, there may only be one order in ten years, but one order is a loss of tens of millions of dollars."
