  TD Ameritrade's SIPC insurance coverage applies to digital assets such as cryptocurrencies. However, it's important to note that the coverage is limited to the cash value of the digital assets at the time of the brokerage firm's failure. This means that any potential appreciation in the value of the digital assets beyond the initial investment may not be covered by SIPC insurance. It's advisable to consult with TD Ameritrade or a financial advisor to understand the specific details of the coverage for digital assets.
