  The FDIC does not directly apply to the safety of digital assets in the cryptocurrency industry. The FDIC is a government agency that provides deposit insurance to depositors in U.S. banks. It does not cover digital assets such as cryptocurrencies, as they are not held in traditional banks. Therefore, the FDIC does not provide any protection or insurance for digital assets in the cryptocurrency industry.

  Unfortunately, the FDIC does not extend its coverage to digital assets in the cryptocurrency industry. The FDIC's primary role is to protect depositors in traditional banks from losses in case of bank failures. Since digital assets are not held in banks and are not considered traditional deposits, they fall outside the scope of FDIC coverage. As a result, individuals who hold digital assets such as cryptocurrencies are responsible for their own security measures and should take precautions to protect their investments.
