Pioneering Crypto Life Insurer Anthea Raises US$22 Million in Series A Funding

BERMUDA and HONG KONG, Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Anthea Holding Limited, the global cryptofintech group offering life insurance products denominated in cryptocurrencies through its wholly-owned subsidiary Anthea Insurance Limited (collectively, "Anthea"), today announced it has secured US$22 million in Series A financing.

In addition, it will support Anthea's ongoing business operations, accelerate product development and innovation, and expand distribution networks and market presence across Asia.

"This funding round is more than capital — it is a strategic alignment with partners who share our vision for the future of insurance," said Alex Pei, CEO of Anthea. "The past few years have seen the rise of regulated and consumer-centric products and institutions in the digital asset space; it is now time to bring the right combinationof innovation and protection to the market. We are delighted to welcome investors with decades of experience in traditional finance and a shared appetite for innovation. Together, we are building a global platform where digital assets and life insurance converge."
