GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, July 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: OXBR) ("Oxbridge Re"), together with its subsidiaries which is engaged in the business of tokenized Real-World Assets ("RWAs") initially in the form of tokenized reinsurance securities, and reinsurance solutions to property and casualty insurers in the Gulf Coast region of the United States, announced that its Web3-focused subsidiary, SurancePlus Inc.

This collaboration aims to further expand the footprint of SurancePlus as it revolutionizes the reinsurance industry by leveraging blockchain technology to tokenize reinsurance contracts and facilitate their deployment on blockchain ecosystems.

Additionally SurancePlus Inc., a subsidiary of Oxbridge, completed a private placement of 287,705 Participation Shares represented by the digital tokens, EpsilonCat Re under a 3-year Participation Share Investment Contract, raising approximately $2.88 million.

Jay Madhu, President and CEO of Oxbridge Re, commented: "Last year, SurancePlus incorporated digital innovations and Web3 insights, democratizing access to reinsurance as an alternative investment. We believe we were the first publicly traded company to raise capital for catastrophe reinsurance risks through the sale of tokenized reinsurance securities. Building on that success, we are delighted to have partnered with Zoniqx and we believe their state-of-the-art tokenization and digital asset lifecycle management offerings will also further enhance our RWA Tokenization and Web-3 capabilities. We have also closed our 2024 EpsilonCat Re offering and are targeting returns of approximately 42%''.
