OnRe Tokenized Reinsurance (ONYC) is currently considered not halal (non-compliant), per our own multi-standard crypto screen. Our full reasoning, the standards behind it and the facts it rests on are below.
The return, or the reserve behind the peg, is interest (riba). Every standard we screen on rejects this without exception.
It provides leveraged or synthetic exposure rather than ownership of an asset, carrying gharar and maysir directly.
Independently corroborated. 2 separate models read this coin and agreed on every fact the verdict turns on, though 2 minor fields could not be established by all of them.
Not established: enables haram activity, transparent governance. Our verdict does not assume anything about these — where they would change the answer, we say so rather than guessing.
Treated as currency, every riba ruling applies - and this token pays, or is backed by, interest.
Fiqh Council of North America, “Regarding the Islamic Ruling on Bitcoins” — default permissibility; treated as fiat currency, so all riba rulings and bai’ al-sarf apply
Riba is the clear evidence of prohibition this framework asks for.
Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America — Dr. Salah Al-Sawy (Secretary General) and Dr. Yasir Qadhi: transactions are permissible unless clear evidence prohibits them
Riba: the return, or the reserve behind the peg, is interest.
Leveraged or synthetic exposure rather than ownership of an asset.
Securities Commission Malaysia, Shariah Advisory Council, 233rd-234th meetings, June-July 2020
Token layer: the return mechanism is interest.
Amanah Advisors, Crypto Shariah Screening Framework (Mufti Faraz Adam)
A lending-derived return is not a service fee, however it is presented.
Amanie Advisors (Dr. Daud Bakar) — Shariah certification of Ethereum staking; validation treated as a real service rendered to the network rather than a return on capital
A lending- or interest-derived return is riba regardless of what it is called.
AAOIFI Shariah Standards - riba and non-permissible income, applied to the token's return mechanism (no dedicated crypto standard exists)
Represents a claim on an identifiable off-chain asset rather than a free-floating digital token.
Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani (crypto trading and investment impermissible); Dar al-Ifta al-Misriyyah (Egypt, 2018); Diyanet Isleri Baskanligi (Turkey, 2017)
The restrictive position above is shown but excluded from our own verdict: it rejects most digital assets including Bitcoin on gharar alone, so letting it decide would mark nearly everything non-compliant — which is neither our conclusion nor a defensible reading of the evidence. Hiding it would be worse.
This is our own screening verdict, reached by applying each named standard ourselves to the facts above, last established 2026-08-29. Research, not a fatwa — for a decision that binds you, ask a scholar you trust.
Licensed to deploy digital assets as insurance collateral, OnRe provides a new class of investors with direct access consistent real-world returns. Through structured products designed to generate yield in both rising and falling markets, OnRe offers a return profile not achievable in traditional finance. With an emphasis on transparency, scalability, and capital efficiency, OnRe is redefining how capital supports reinsurance, creating access to an industry that has historically remained out of reach. The first product, ONyc, is a multi-collateral, yield-bearing asset backed by stablecoins and used to underwrite real world private placements and accrue yield from reinsurance premiums. ONyc targets a base yield exceeding 16%, driven by reinsurance performance that remains uncorrelated across market cycles. Alongside this base return, the collateral assets themselves contribute additional yield, resulting in a compound, multi-source return designed to deliver steady performance and capture upside as markets evolve. Currently collateralized in sUSDe, ONyc combines uncorrelated real-world yield with crypto-native yield opportunities. Through this approach, OnRe aims to connect digital asset allocators to the $750 billion reinsurance market.
