  The FDIC does not have a direct role in the crypto industry. It primarily focuses on insuring deposits in traditional banks and financial institutions. Since cryptocurrencies are not considered legal tender and are not regulated by the FDIC, they do not fall under its purview. Therefore, the FDIC does not provide any protection or insurance for crypto assets.

  The FDIC's role is limited to safeguarding the deposits of individuals and businesses in traditional banks. As cryptocurrencies operate outside the traditional banking system, they are not covered by FDIC insurance. It's important for crypto investors to understand that their crypto assets are not protected by the FDIC in case of theft, loss, or other security breaches.
