Kingdom Trust, a company that stores digital currency for investors, has secured insurance coverage through Lloyd’s of London to protect against theft and destruction of those assets, the company said on August 28.

The move by Kingdom Trust, which has $12 billion in assets, is the latest example of a once-reticent insurance industry stepping up to offer protection to companies that store cryptocurrency, a volatile and loosely regulated, but rapidly growing business.
