Crypto startup Meanwhile has secured $40 million in a Series A round to expand its Bitcoin-based life insurance offerings, focusing on inflation-prone regions. Led by Framework Ventures and Fulgur Ventures, the funding aims to provide alternatives to traditional fiat payouts. Meanwhile, regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority, allows policyholders to pay premiums and receive claims in Bitcoin, offering protection against currency debasement. The company targets areas with high inflation or unstable currencies, leveraging Bitcoin's potential as a store of value despite debates over its inflation-hedging capabilities.
