  Unfortunately, the FDIC does not provide insurance for cryptocurrency holdings. However, it's worth noting that the FDIC's insurance coverage is limited to $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank. Cryptocurrency holdings may have different security measures in place to protect against loss or theft.

  While the FDIC does not insure cryptocurrency holdings, there are other ways to protect your investments. One option is to use a hardware wallet, which stores your cryptocurrency offline and provides an extra layer of security. Additionally, some cryptocurrency exchanges offer insurance for their users' funds.
