OneDegree, Asia’s licensed insurer for digital assets, has partnered with Saudi Arabia’s Walaa Cooperative Insurance Company, an insurance and reinsurance provider. 
Walaa will support OneDegree as a reinsurer for its market-leading digital asset products globally. The partnership was announced during the 24 Fintech event in Riyadh, KSA. 
As per the press release, Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has emerged as an increasingly vibrant and dynamic hub for Web3. Saudi Arabia in particular has implemented various initiatives to support the growth of the Web3 sector in line with its Vision 2030 program. The two insurers share a vision to support the good actors in Web3 and work closely with regulators to create a stable and sustainable ecosystem.&nbsp; 
OneDegree launched OneInfinity three years ago to lead in Web3 risk management, with solutions spanning cybersecurity, risk monitoring, and insurance. 
Robin Scott, General Manager of Middle East of OneDegree, said, 
<blockquote> 
 “…OneInfinity by OneDegree’s products are empowering leading Web3 companies worldwide […] Collaborating with Walaa Insurance, OneInfinity by OneDegree aims to enhance support for VASPs in the region and beyond.”
