1B-i Holdings Limited, a specialist insurance group focusing on digital assets, technology, and transition economy, has appointed Dr. John Morley as its Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
The structural milestones of the group include 1B-i Holdings Limited being formally incorporated as the group parent. Additionally, 1B-i Management PTE Ltd was established to run global operations, underwriting services, technical development, and product governance.
The 1B-i risk-carrying entity will be formally established on completion of regulatory approval.
Meanwhile, 1B-i has assembled a highly experienced team with deep insurance and reinsurance experience and advanced technology expertise.
The 1B-i Board commented, “We are delighted to welcome Dr. Morley as our inaugural CEO. John brings a rare combination of reinsurance expertise, digital-asset insight, and transformation leadership across APAC and Europe. Under his guidance, 1B-i will shape insurance products built for the new financial system — transparent, data‑driven, and embedded directly into digital infrastructure.”
Dr. Morley added, “The next era of financial infrastructure will be natively digital, globally regulated, and continuously transacting. Insurance needs to operate at the same speed and with the same integrity and transparency. 1B-i is here to build the safety layer for that world — from institutional governance to the individual transaction itself.”
1B-i’s three core lines of business are company insurance, including MiCAR and DORA coverage, Directors & Officers (D&O) insurance, and Cryp-Sure – Transaction-Level Digital Asset Insurance.
The company insurance provides institutional‑grade protection for digital‑asset service providers, fintechs exchanges, custodians, and technology platforms operating under MiCAR, DORA, and global regulatory frameworks. This covers Technology Errors and Omissions (E&O), operational resilience and outage liability, cyber protection, customer‑asset handling liability, and compliance/regulatory breach cover aligned to European and global norms.
John Souter, newly appointed Chief Financial Officer, 1B-i, said, “Our financial plan has been constructed with a high degree of robustness, discipline, and long‑term visibility. It provides a strong capital foundation for sustainable underwriting, supports our regulatory obligations, and enables scalable, responsible growth. Investors can be confident that 1B‑i is building not only innovative products, but a financially resilient institution.”
