This means that, unlike traditional financial assets, there is no safety net provided by governmental bodies in the event of losses.

Cryptocurrencies, in particular, fall outside the scope of insurance coverage provided by both the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).

The FDIC typically insures deposits held in banks, while the SIPC protects customers of broker-dealers from financial losses due to broker fraud or other misconduct.
