BitMEX’s Insurance Fund has surpassed $200 million – holding 26,388 BTC (0.15% of all BTC in circulation)
In its 3+ year history, there haven’t been many significant drawdowns; the largest happened on April 12, 2018 ($5.1 million of BTC)
The fund has seen positive monthly inflows for 26 consecutive months
The biggest outlier was November 2018, in which $22.2 million was added to the fund
The fund still lacks a public breakdown of funds per-contract, which makes the drawdown process quite opaque
