Delaware Life Insurance Company has launched a fixed indexed annuity (FIA) that includes bitcoin (BTC) exposure.
Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg’s ETF specialist analyst, said on the 20th (local time) via his X (formerly Twitter) that the product was designed based on a partnership with BlackRock and is structured to use IBIT, a spot bitcoin ETF.
The product’s key feature is that it maintains principal-protection mechanics for annuity assets while including a bitcoin ETF as an index component, offering a return opportunity linked to cryptocurrency price movements.
Delaware Life is seen as a case of combining digital-asset exposure with traditional insurance and annuity products, highlighting that institution-oriented annuity products using bitcoin ETFs are expanding in earnest.
