Summary
In this episode, Cole Snell, CEO and founder of Infineo, and Dr. Robert Murphy, the Chief Economist at Infineo, discuss the digitization of the life insurance industry and the use of blockchain technology. They highlight the importance of collaboration in moving the industry forward and emphasize the benefits of holding life insurance policies on the blockchain. They also discuss the practical use case of the policy ledger, which allows policyholders to store their policies digitally and easily notify beneficiaries in the event of their passing. Additionally, they explain how blockchain technology enables the creation of a secondary market for life insurance policies, providing liquidity and value to policyholders. Infineo is revolutionizing the life insurance industry by tokenizing life insurance policies and creating a secondary market for them. This opens up opportunities for individuals and institutions to invest in and trade life insurance policies, providing liquidity and efficiency to a previously illiquid market. The use of blockchain technology and smart contracts reduces the need for intermediaries and streamlines the process of borrowing against policies. Tokenization also allows for the creation of structured products and retirement products, expanding the range of investment options. The tokenization of life insurance policies democratizes access to this asset class and has the potential to transform the global economy.
