  TD Ameritrade's SIPC insurance coverage applies to digital assets such as cryptocurrencies. However, it's important to note that the coverage is limited to the cash value of the digital assets at the time of the brokerage firm's failure. This means that any potential appreciation in the value of the digital assets beyond the initial investment may not be covered by SIPC insurance. It's advisable to consult with TD Ameritrade or a financial advisor to understand the specific details of the coverage for digital assets.

  Yes, TD Ameritrade's SIPC insurance does cover digital assets. In the event of TD Ameritrade's failure, the insurance would protect the cash value of your digital assets up to the coverage limit. However, it's important to keep in mind that the coverage may not extend to any potential gains or profits made from the digital assets. It's always a good idea to review the terms and conditions of the insurance coverage and consult with a financial professional for a comprehensive understanding of how it applies to your specific situation.
