Recently, hacking of crypto exchanges has become more and more rampant, not only by individuals or just a group of people, but also by a country (such as North Korea). so the UN gave a warning to the South Korean government. The main target of hackers is the large amount of balance held by whales, among the whales that are most vulnerable to hacking are crypto exchanges, because around 30%-60% of their crypto funds are stored in cloud storage which is always used for daily transaction activities. Although crypto exchanges increase network security in layers to make hacking more difficult, it seems that hackers are also getting more sophisticated, so the possibility of network security can still be hacked. Therefore to allay the worries, security of users' balances, most crypto exchanges have purchased insurance policies, even though crypto insurance companies are still new but are trusted by crypto exchanges. Some insurances for crypto exchanges that I know of are: Onedegree (Hong Kong), Coincover, Lloyd's of London, Aon, and Bitgo Custodian etc.
We also need to know about crypto insurance, if only your account is hacked on a crypto exchange or on a wallet, and the hacker takes all your balance then it is not included in the insurance agreement. guaranteed only global amount or only crypto exchange hacking.

Cryptocurrency insurance policy is a tremendous one, one which every crypto exchanges, wallets should embrace, in order to cut down the risk of losing it. I understand that their security this days in most well-known exchanges are more tighter, robust, it isn't easy like before when malicious hackers normally attack it freely. Nowadays, I never really heard about a well-known exchange losing it all, not that, scam or malicious hackers have stopped working. They're on massive progress of work, trying to down each and every crypto exchange in order to get away with their huge sum of cryptos which many belongs to investors.

It is a risk for insurance companies to insure exchanges on their side range of insurance list, but it is a wide step, because the system of most exchanges aren't easily compromised, even if they're compromised hackers don't get away with all funds, they take some and leave some. Meaning, the insurance company who insured such hacked exchange sure wouldn't run at full loss of covering for the losses of the exchange sure which is hacked. It is a gain too for them when an exchange never experienced heck for a very long time, that's a plus for them.
