Asian Market Heats Up: Ethereum Adoption and Whale Influence
Jack Ma-Backed Firm Invests in Ethereum-Based Insurance
Yunfeng Financial Group, a Hong Kong-listed fintech entity co-founded by Alibaba’s Jack Ma, has led a $22 million Series A funding round for Anthea Holding Limited. This Bermuda-based crypto insurance firm plans to leverage the newly acquired capital to launch its inaugural Ethereum-based life insurance product. The move signals an expansion strategy targeting the broader Asian market.
This investment follows Yunfeng Financial’s recent acquisition of 10,000 ETH, valued at approximately $44 million. This Ethereum reserve is intended to support real-world asset tokenization and applications within decentralized finance (DeFi) linked to insurance.
