Yunfeng Financial Invests in Crypto Insurer Anthea

Yunfeng Financial Group announced on October 2, 2025, its strategic investment in Anthea Holding Limited, aimed at developing blockchain-based insurance for digital asset holders.

The strategic investment highlights the increasing institutional interest in blockchain-based financial services, offering potential growth in digital asset management.

Yunfeng Financial Group Limited, co-founded by Alibaba’s Jack Ma, announced a strategic investment in Anthea Holding Limited. The move accompanies a Memorandum of Understanding to create Web3-focused financial services ecosystems targeted at digital asset holders.

“Yunfeng Financial Group Limited … is pleased to announce that on 2 October 2025, the Group has agreed to invest in newly issued shares of Anthea Holding Limited … and entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) … to explore strategic collaboration opportunities.” — Yunfeng Financial Group Limited, Official Statement

Yunfeng’s investment in Anthea is through newly issued shares, reflecting its commitment to blockchain innovation. The firm allocated $44 million to purchase 10,000 Ethereum (ETH) as part of its treasury strategy, using internal reserves.

The partnership marks the inaugural collaboration between an established financial entity and a crypto-native insurer. This aligns with current regulatory support from the Bermuda Monetary Authority, bolstering compliant operations in crypto markets. The investment is projected to influence Ethereum’s role in the treasury of financial institutions, with Yunfeng planning potential expansion into Solana (SOL) and broader digital asset offerings.

Anthea’s framework aims to offer on-chain asset management strategies compliant with research protocols, signifying significant institutional movement towards transparent crypto-based solutions. Historical trends reflect robust institutional interest mirroring MicroStrategy’s 2020 BTC acquisition. This has led to increased market confidence and asset price elevation, affirming blockchain’s pivotal role in financial innovation.
