  No, FDIC insurance does not cover cryptocurrencies invested through Fidelity Investments. FDIC insurance is specifically designed to protect deposits in traditional banks, such as savings accounts, checking accounts, and certificates of deposit. Cryptocurrencies are not considered traditional bank deposits and therefore do not fall under the coverage of FDIC insurance.

  FDIC insurance only applies to funds held in traditional bank accounts and does not extend to cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies are decentralized digital assets that are not regulated by traditional banking institutions. Therefore, it is important for investors to understand that investing in cryptocurrencies carries a different set of risks compared to traditional banking products.
