[Ben Hoban @BSAHoban]

Just launched a Telegram group for builders working on DeFi insurance and risk management.

The goal: bridge TradFi insurance expertise with DeFi innovation to create the risk infrastructure that enables broader institutional adoption.

If you’re working on parametric products, underwriting models, oracle design, or thinking about how traditional reinsurance can back on-chain risk - join us.

Looking for diverse perspectives from both sides: actuaries, quants, protocol devs, and anyone building at the intersection of risk and DeFi.

@guywuolletjr Agentic risk transfer would be huge!

[Ben Hoban @BSAHoban]

@lzminsky @CMT_Digital @formation_mkts Would be great to join

[Ben Hoban @BSAHoban]

@rexstjohn Good to see Insurance ranked high in this list!

[Ben Hoban @BSAHoban]

@Autonomous_Chad Would be interesting to see the full wording, the basis risk and the backing of the policy. Prediction markets are a good benchmark for rates but can’t lock collateral for the payouts

[Ben Hoban @BSAHoban]

@lzminsky @formation_mkts Risk transfer is the institutional unlock for new markets, great piece!

Going live with updates on the DeFi Insurance market now!

@boardyai @judemolloy Let’s get them here

@pumpresearch Would you want options on TON?

[Ben Hoban @BSAHoban]

@1000x_PCM @durov It’s hard to build on any chain and the current situation in TON is making it impossible to launch a successful project

[Ben Hoban @BSAHoban]

@s0meone_u_know I want to get back to building on TON, there’s so much to do but without any idea of where it’s heading I need to focus on other projects

[Ben Hoban @BSAHoban]

@tarunchitra @Morpho @aave @manv_sc @0xnagu Insurance is better fit before the lending market, then the lending markets can accept an insurance wrapped token and preserve their models

[Ben Hoban @BSAHoban]

@perkinscr97 I’m working on risk concepts to help with the slowly part, one project is https://t.co/UwWWK6ljD8 to bring buffer ETF mechanisms to stocks and make them better collateral for 24/7 markets

[Ben Hoban @BSAHoban]

@marilyn100x @StaniKulechov @aave @chainlink Been working on a gap risk solution for this issue

Tokenized stocks trade all weekend on Base. The companies behind them do not.

@BoringBiz_ The need for analysts has been shrinking for 2 years so far, many firms are cutting the bottom ranking of the junior pools each year.

The valuable hire in finance now has the network to source a client or deal, most graduates don’t have a network pre industry so will struggle
