Board
ALDY
Screened
SCREENEDInsurance bindersAlder Line
Budget exists on a board line. This is this quarter, not ‘when the rule opens’.
If this pad disappeared tomorrow, the customer could still run the job. That is why they are here.
Alder Line — A permissioned netting engine for trading venues and brokers that are already licensed. It reduces what has to settle. It is not a new CCP, and it is not a collateral token.
Screened, not yet in sprint. Treat every number as provisional. Calendar access is not automatic.
Most Insurance binders applications this quarter were declined. You are looking at one that was not.
Diligence, not a prospectus. RCA Pad does not allocate, take orders, or close funding. If this company raises, it raises with its own counsel.

File readiness
Why the desk took it
Early — still a question.
US surplus-lines posture was flagged as a counsel question. Correct.
Traction
No paying pilot on the public file.
Founded 2025, headquartered in Zurich. No named paying pilot on the file yet — that is the first question. 3 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 76/100. A transfer agent willing to consume a revoke in production. Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
Next 12 months
One live binder a carrier will show their auditor.
Excel bordereaux are the incumbent. Beat that. Bps on a job that already has a budget line. A public coin would not make the invoice larger.
The brief
How a serious reader should hold this.
Most Insurance binders decks start with a market size. This one starts with a job: a person at a licensed firm, a record they cannot currently prove, and a calendar that does not wait for a proposed US rule. The calendar is the window. The window is the scarce thing.
Read this as an operating company, not a round. Counsel has a posture: Not offering — locked. Restricted markets stay dark. RCA Pad takes 0% if they ever raise. That combination is why inbound did not need a ticker.
On a Tuesday in Zurich, an exception posts back into the customer’s existing case system. Nobody opens a side spreadsheet. That is the product: the night someone in ops does not stay late.
From counsel
This communication is not an offer. Participation mechanics do not exist on this pad. If a later reader treats the public stack as the offer, the stack was already wrong.
From ops
A dual-control drill exists on paper. Production evidence is the next artefact, not a tweet.
From the founder
We will not describe this as Reg CA-compliant, MiCA-stickered, or FCA-authorised. Issuers retain their own counsel in every relevant jurisdiction.
The window
Miss this and you read the archive.
Founders who want a pack this tight apply. Readers who wait get a closed stamp.
Switching cost is the auditor conversation. Once it happens, you are late.
The scarce thing is not the company. It is the next a few days of a live conversation.

The bet
Why this company exists.
A tokenised policy sold to a crowd is a different, usually illegal, company.
A tokenised policy sold to a crowd is a different, usually illegal, company.
T+1 and capital rules make gross settlement expensive. Venues will buy netting as a service before they will buy a new licence.
Post-trade cost is a line on every broker P&L. A 10% cut in settlement fails is a CFO conversation.
Versus the field
A generalist vendor can copy the slide in a quarter. They cannot copy the named record, the scheme map, or the auditor conversation. That is the year they would have to buy.
The live path is Not offering — locked. Proposed Regulation Crypto Assets is not treated as a calendar slot. Build as if it never opens.
How it works
- 01Members post positions they already hold
- 02The engine nets what the rulebook allows
- 03Only the residual hits the existing settlement rail
- 04Collateral as a token is an exclusion on this file
- 05Claim and premium events update the same slip the markets already signed
- 06The legal source of truth stays with the incumbent register, admin, or custodian.

If they raise
Where the money would actually go.
Not a token float. A budget against work. RCA Pad still takes 0% of proceeds.
Counsel & perimeter
39%
Dual-control drills, key ceremonies, and the person who owns them.
Second market
27%
A counsel memo that can survive a later reader.
Control environment
16%
Hiring the operator who already does this job at a licensed firm.
Named operators
18%
Keeping the public story from running ahead of the claims register.
Operating week
What “in market” actually looks like.
- SatDarkNo creators. No threads. Restricted geos stay dark.
- MonClaimsEvery public sentence checked against the register. Anything extra is unpublished.
- TueExceptionsOvernight breaks post back into the customer’s case system. No side book.
- FriKill switchRehearse unpublish in 24 hours. If it takes a committee, it is not a switch.
The wedge
Why this one, not the other one.
- They sell
- Per bordereau cycle
- Who pays
- A transfer agent willing to consume a revoke in production.
- Unit economics
- Bps on a job that already has a budget line. A public coin would not make the invoice larger.
- Moat on file
- A coverholder has written a live binder on this record.
- Switching cost
- Once the record is the record, the incumbent copy has to migrate history. That is the year.
- Vs the comps
- Excel bordereaux are the incumbent. Beat that.
- Why we listed it
- US surplus-lines posture was flagged as a counsel question. Correct.
Next twelve months
What has to be true.
One live binder a carrier will show their auditor.
Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
Capital would fund the adapter work and a named counsel memo, not a public sale.
Traction
What you can verify today.
Founded 2025, headquartered in Zurich. No named paying pilot on the file yet — that is the first question. 3 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 76/100. A transfer agent willing to consume a revoke in production. Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
- Architecture paper — no production customer on the public file
- No token contract listed as a public sale
- Pilot letters on file, identities redacted
- Zurich is the operating centre
- The waitlist, if any, is a product list — not a book
- RCA Pad does not take a cut of proceeds

Risks
What can kill it.
The one that actually kills it
The named customer is a letter of intent
Pilots that cannot be named, even redacted, are theatre. One paying seat that an auditor has seen is worth more than a waitlist of a short list.
CCP perimeter
If a regulator reads this as clearing, the licence problem is existential.
Collateral token
That ask has been refused on files like this. It should stay refused.
Member default
Who eats the loss? If the answer is ‘the protocol’, there is no protocol that can.
Incumbent freeze-out
CCPs can copy the netting logic faster than a startup can collect members.
Not a carrier
If Alder Line looks like it is taking risk, it needs a licence. The file says it does not. Keep it that way.
Incumbent feature
The administrator, CCP, scheme or custodian can ship this as a checkbox. Alder Line has to be cheaper or faster before that happens.
Ask these next
- 01What does renewal look like if no round ever happens?
- 02Where do keys, title, or NAV liability sit — and is that person licensed?
- 03Which incumbent can copy this in a quarter, and what would they have to migrate?
- 04If RCA Pad disappeared tomorrow, could the customer still run the job?
- 05Who can unpublish a public sentence in 24 hours, by name?
- 06Is the waitlist demand for a product, or a queue for a coin?

Who can decide
Amira Adeyemi came in named. The team is not a handle. Alder Line AG exists, founded 2025, headquartered in Zurich. Anonymity would have been an automatic decline.
A second counterparty writing into the record is the only network effect that counts. One customer is a consultancy. Two is a market.
