Benzinga - Boerse Stuttgart Digital is joining forces with insurance company Munich Re Group to introduce an insured staking solution.
This collaboration aims to set a new benchmark for staking security in Europe, catering primarily to institutional investors.

The term "slashing" pertains to potential losses validators might face on the Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) blockchain's Proof-of-Stake mechanism.
To mitigate such risks, Munich Re, in collaboration with Staking Facilities GmbH, has devised an insurance model to cover potential slashing events.
The primary goal is to offer institutional clients a reliable gateway to staking, while also exploring new income avenues in proprietary trading.
