How Does FDIC Insurance Protect Bank Deposits?

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is a U.S. government agency that insures deposits in eligible banks up to a specified limit, typically $250,000 per depositor. This insurance protects customers against the loss of their deposits if an FDIC-insured bank fails.

This protection does not extend to cryptocurrency or assets held on exchanges.
