Anthea Holding Limited, the global crypto fintech group that offers life insurance products denominated in digital currencies through its wholly owned subsidiary Anthea Insurance, announced it has closed a $22mn Series A financing round.
The company, which aims to merge life insurance with digital assets, drew strong interest from international investors.
Yunfeng Financial Group led the round, joined by a wide base of strategic and financial participants with backgrounds in insurance, asset management, and fintech innovation.
This capital raise marks a new stage in Anthea’s strategy to reshape life insurance for the digital era.
The funding will allow the company to launch its first life insurance policy denominated in ETH (Ethereum) — which Anthea describes as the world’s first Ethereum life insurance product.
The proceeds will also support Anthea’s business operations, speed up product development and innovation, and broaden distribution networks and market presence across Asia.
“This funding round is more than just capital — it is a strategic alignment with partners who share our vision for the future of insurance,” said Alex Pei, CEO of Anthea.
We have seen the rise of regulated, consumer-focused products and institutions in the digital asset sector. Now is the time to bring the right combination of innovation and protection into the market.

“We are pleased to welcome investors with decades of experience in traditional finance and a strong appetite for innovation. Together, we are building a global platform where digital assets and life insurance converge.”
The Series A follows Anthea Insurance Limited’s recent in-principle approval from the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA) to register as an Innovative Insurer.
Anthea said the new capital will strengthen its ability to embed best-practice life insurance structures into the digital asset ecosystem, integrate with blockchain-based payment infrastructure, enable yield generation, and pursue strategic product innovation.
The company aims to provide a seamless experience for both digital asset holders and traditional investors looking for regulated entry into the crypto space.
