EIOPA Proposes Full Capital Reserves for Cryptocurrency Holdings

On March 27, 2025, the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) proposed in the EU that insurers should fully back their cryptocurrency holdings with equivalent capital reserves.

The proposal highlights the importance of mitigating risk in crypto investments as insurers hold €655 million in crypto, a mere fraction of total assets. This move urges stabilization amid market volatility.

EIOPA’s recommendation for insurers to maintain capital equal to 100% of their crypto holdings marks a significant proposal change. Historically, capital reserved ranged between 60% and 80%. This adjustment aligns the insurance sector with new regulatory norms necessitated by cryptocurrencies.

Luxembourg and Sweden account for the largest share of crypto-related insurance, with stakes at 69% and 21% respectively. The proposal aims to address potential market volatility and regulatory gaps existing due to the absence of specific regulations in insurance.

Should the proposal be implemented, insurers might require adjustments in capital management. Concerns arise over the heightened reserve requirements potentially affecting market practices. Stakeholders argue the demands contradict historical data for major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

“The technical advice document outlines four policy options, with EIOPA recommending Option 3, which proposes a 100% stress level for crypto assets without diversification.” — EIOPA Technical Document

EIOPA defends its recommendation due to the past volatility of crypto assets, such as Bitcoin losing 82% of its value. The proposal remains under European Commission review. The response will fundamentally shape how insurers manage crypto-related risks.

Insurers face potential hurdles adjusting to the proposed reserve changes. Implementing a 100% reserve requirement for crypto assets demands a realignment of current financial strategies and poses challenges to those historically unaccustomed to such stringent conditions.

The proposal reflects a broader shift in regulatory landscapes concerning crypto assets within the financial sector. EIOPA, by suggesting this comprehensive approach, balances required financial stability with ambitious transparency goals to address market volatility.
