The European Union has proposed a 100% capital requirement regulation for insurance companies investing in cryptocurrencies.
On Thursday, European regulators announced that they plan to impose a 100% capital requirement on investments in digital assets by EU insurance companies. This proposal will be the strictest capital rule applied to Bitcoin (BTC) and other crypto assets. Currently, most EU insurance companies allocate only 60% to 80% of their capital to crypto investments. However, this new regulation will force insurance companies to maintain a stronger capital buffer. Although the regulation has been submitted for approval by the European Commission, it has not yet been finalized.
This new regulation could particularly affect small insurance companies. High capital requirements may complicate digital asset investments. However, in the long term, this regulation is expected to increase confidence in cryptocurrencies and make the market more robust.
Insurance companies may have reduced capacity to invest in cryptocurrencies due to the need to allocate more capital. However, this situation could also lead to a more cautious and robust approach towards digital assets in the insurance sector.
