  To be eligible to offer the FDIC deposit sweep program, cryptocurrency exchanges must meet certain criteria set by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). These criteria include having a valid banking license, maintaining adequate capital reserves, and complying with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. The FDIC deposit sweep program allows cryptocurrency exchanges to offer their users the option to have their fiat currency deposits automatically swept into FDIC-insured bank accounts, providing an added layer of security and peace of mind for users.

  The eligibility requirements for cryptocurrency exchanges to offer the FDIC deposit sweep program are designed to ensure that only reputable and financially stable exchanges can participate. By requiring exchanges to have a banking license and meet capital reserve requirements, the FDIC aims to protect users' funds and prevent potential fraud or insolvency issues. Additionally, the AML and KYC regulations help prevent money laundering and ensure that exchanges have proper procedures in place to verify the identity of their users.
