How Collateralized Reinsurance Earns Returns

Collateralized reinsurance is a structure where capital providers supply collateral to back insurance policies, earning returns in the process. By doing so, capital providers assume risk in exchange for a premium, which becomes their profit after claims are paid and obligations are met.

Re Protocol’s Focus

Initially, the Re Protocol will focus exclusively on backing non-catastrophic, low-volatility, and short-duration program business. This conservative approach ensures stable returns and mitigates high-risk exposure. These programs generally include:

  • Automobile insurance portfolios

  • Commercial general liability coverage

  • Property insurance with limited catastrophic exposure

Profit Timeline

  • Collateral Release: Reinsurance programs typically start releasing collateral back to the protocol after 18 months.

  • Profit Realization: As collateral is released, Risk Pools begin to pay out profits to the protocol and its participants.

  • Steady Returns: This timeline provides predictable cash flows, ensuring reUSD holders benefit from consistent, transparent earnings.

By leveraging this model, the Re Protocol offers participants access to a secure and stable revenue stream, while maintaining robust protections against high-impact events.
