A new RWA use case onchain: Reinsurance

Most RWA talk in crypto is about stocks or private credit. There’s another big real market that’s starting to come onchain: reinsurance.

Reinsurance is basically 'insurance for insurance companies' It’s how insurers spread risk for things like home, auto and other real world policies

RE is bringing that capital flow onchain:

* Users deposit stablecoins
* Capital is deployed into regulated reinsurance structures (via trust accounts)
* Yield comes from real insurance premiums, not emissions or trading games
* Everything is tracked onchain with proof of reserves and transparent accounting

The interesting part is the risk profile:
This isn’t Defi yield from leverage or basis trades. It’s yield backed by real world policies that exist outside crypto.

Curious how people here think about insurance/reinsurance as an onchain RWA category
