United Risk Launches Applied Credit Underwriters to Target Credit and Political Risk Markets
Newly formed enterprise taps credit and political risk sector veteran, Bernie de Haldevang, as CEO
OMAHA, Neb., March 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Looking toward increased market demand for leadership-level resources in the intensifying areas of credit and political risk, United Risk has launched a new division, Applied Credit Underwriters, to be led by sector veteran Bernie de Haldevang as CEO. Applied Credit Underwriters will focus aggressively on a portfolio mix of structured credit, contract frustrations, and political risks worldwide.
Mr. Dan Malloy, CEO of United Risk, called the new division and its newly named CEO a great advantage to the marketplace: “We have attracted these lines of business, especially lately with the world’s great problems in so many affected areas of high-level risk—it has now made great business sense to consolidate powerful resources for serving the top clients in the sector. It is a distinct plus for the new division to be led by Bernie de Haldevang, who brings more than 30 years of relevant, successful experience to the challenges of today’s market. We welcome him.”
Mr. Jamie Sahara, President of Applied Underwriters, whose multibillion-dollar MGA and MGU businesses were consolidated into the United Risk brand last year, points to the group’s overall growth in the London and international markets as a motivating factor, among others: “We have had credit and political risk opportunities seek us out and have thus decided to consolidate the business into a new, aggressive unit that will provide sound solutions for our clients in this sensitive area of risk transfer.”
Mr. Sahara observed that the timing of this consolidation and market entry is ideal: “Worldwide economic and geopolitical instability during 2022 and particularly 2023, set against unparalleled debt increases by the vast majority of the world’s governments during 2020 and 2021, makes 2024 a most appropriate time for entry into the credit and political risk insurance market. Historically, instability enhances awareness of this market and drives interest in its products—the market has weathered past crises well, including the 2008 global financial crisis, where significant but not catastrophic claims proved the reliability and appeal of key non-payment products to banks. Political uncertainty has increased interest in classic political risk products. The economic impact of COVID-19 has increased the demand for these products without the expected increase in claims, all of which challenges and developments commend the choice of Bernie de Haldevang as our seasoned, lead executive for this business.”
Mr. Bernie de Haldevang assumes the top post at Applied Credit Underwriters, having served as Global Head of Specialty at Sompo Canopius where he was responsible for developing the group’s political risk lines and reinvigorating its accident and health and casualty lines. His decades of experience in the insurance industry, namely in credit and political risk, war, terrorism, political violence, and kidnap for ransom areas, include eight years at Aspen, where he was head of financial and professional lines. Mr. de Haldevang sat on Lloyd’s political risk business panel.
Before that, dating from 1983 as a political risk broker at Hogg Robinson Group, his career has included board, senior management, and executive committee positions at Berry Palmer & Lyle, Wellington Underwriting, Atrium Underwriters and at the African Trade Insurance Agency, which he founded for the World Bank as chief executive and head of mission.
Applied Credit Underwriters is headquartered in London.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Uniswap, the world’s leading decentralized exchange in the DeFi ecosystem, has unveiled its latest 2025 initiative: a $35M UNI AirDrop. As the news begins to ripple across the crypto community on the 24th, Friday, 2025, this landmark announcement sets the stage for Uniswap’s next chapter of decentralized financial empowerment. Launching in the wake of Jupiter’s record-breaking $630M JUP token distribution, this AirDrop is poised to capture the spotlight and redefine reward campaigns in the blockchain space.
A Strategic Response to Airdrop Momentum
Uniswap’s AirDrop comes at a pivotal time for decentralized finance, following the tremendous success of Jupiter’s Solana-based $630M JUP distribution. Jupiter’s campaign not only propelled its market cap by 87% to $3.5B but also reinforced the power of airdrops as a key tool for driving user engagement and adoption. By launching its $35M UNI AirDrop so soon after, Uniswap is positioning itself to lead the next wave of innovation in DeFi rewards.
“We’re excited to continue rewarding our users while driving adoption across the DeFi ecosystem,” said Hari Sevugan, a spokesperson from Uniswap Labs. “The success of airdrops like Jupiter’s shows just how powerful community engagement can be, and with Uniswap’s $35M AirDrop, we aim to take that impact to the next level V4 will bring to the blockchain realm.”
Aligned with Uniswap V4 and the Future of DeFi
The $35M AirDrop also coincides with the highly anticipated rollout of Uniswap Version 4, which officially begins deployments this week. This latest iteration introduces a series of game-changing features designed to enhance efficiency, scalability, and user experience, further solidifying Uniswap’s leadership in the decentralized finance space.
Uniswap’s decision to launch the AirDrop at this time reflects its broader strategy to drive growth and innovation while giving back to the community that helped the platform achieve a remarkable 102% year-over-year growth in 2024.
The Broader Context: Trump’s Vision for Blockchain Leadership
The announcement also arrives amid a transformative moment for the cryptocurrency space. Former U.S. President Donald Trump has outlined bold plans to make the United States the global capital of blockchain and cryptocurrency. This vision has reinvigorated the crypto market, driving a wave of optimism and strategic initiatives from key players like Uniswap.
With Trump’s call for blockchain leadership setting the tone, Uniswap’s $35M UNI AirDrop is more than just a user reward campaign—it’s a signal of intent to maintain a leading role in shaping the future of decentralized finance.
How to Participate
Eligible participants can now claim their share of the $35M UNI AirDrop by visiting the official Uniswap website, where full eligibility requirements are outlined. The process is simple, secure, and designed to ensure fair access for Uniswap’s loyal user base.
The timing of this AirDrop reflects Uniswap’s strategic awareness of the industry’s momentum. With Jupiter setting a new benchmark for token distribution and Trump’s bold vision sparking global crypto interest, Uniswap is leveraging this moment to further strengthen its community and reinforce its leadership.
This is not just about distributing $UNI tokens—it’s about driving engagement, enhancing liquidity, and positioning Uniswap as the go-to platform for decentralized finance. Together with its newly announced Uniswap V4 rollout, this AirDrop represents a comprehensive strategy to capitalize on the opportunities of 2025.
Airdrop Buzz Across the Ecosystem
The broader crypto space has been abuzz with activity. Jupiter’s massive $630M JUP token distribution demonstrated the power of well-timed reward campaigns to boost engagement and market cap. Meanwhile, whale investors have reportedly begun accumulating $UNI in response to Uniswap’s latest announcements, signaling strong confidence in the platform’s long-term vision.
Looking Ahead
Uniswap’s $35M AirDrop underscores its commitment to fostering financial inclusion and empowering its global user base. As decentralized finance continues to expand, initiatives like this serve as a reminder of the transformative power of blockchain technology.

Meanwhile, the DeFi sector is thriving, with platforms like Uniswap and Jupiter leading the charge through impactful initiatives, including massive airdrops that have reshaped user engagement. This surge of activity has not only reinforced crypto’s role as a transformative financial ecosystem but has also set the tone for an exhilarating year ahead in blockchain and decentralized finance.
Whale Activity Signals Strong Confidence
In addition to the AirDrop, recent data has shown a surge in whale activity, with large investors beginning to accumulate $UNI tokens. This follows Uniswap Foundation’s latest announcements and highlights the growing market confidence in the platform’s future prospects.
