Is there any insurance policy available in crypto system like the typical banking system? curious about it.   
Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

No. Crypto is too volatile for that.

Byteball offers flight delay insurance though, as a demonstration of it's capabilities.

Coinbase offers insurance on digital currency they hold for you in the US. I don't know of anybody else who offers this.

I haven't heard of any.

What would you want insurance for? The price? Tell us more.

Your insurance policy is your Wallet Recovery Phrase which you should write down and keep somewhere private, safe and secure.

I haven't heard from insurance policy in the crypto world or any insurance companies accepting BTC.

Insurance is in the milestone of Change Bank, I read that users will be able to buy insurance from its app in the future.
