  The FDIC deposit sweep program does not directly impact the security of cryptocurrency holdings. The program is designed to protect deposits in traditional banks by sweeping excess funds into FDIC-insured accounts. Since cryptocurrencies are not held in traditional banks and are not insured by the FDIC, they are not covered by the program. Therefore, the security of cryptocurrency holdings is not affected by the FDIC deposit sweep program.

  The FDIC deposit sweep program only applies to funds held in traditional banks and does not extend to cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrency holdings are typically stored in digital wallets or on cryptocurrency exchanges, which operate independently from the FDIC. It is important for cryptocurrency investors to take their own security measures, such as using strong passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and storing their private keys offline, to protect their holdings.
