Enabling crypto transfers

To enable crypto transfers, you must have a Fidelity Crypto^® account and linked brokerage account, and you must be in a state where Fidelity Digital Assets^® provides services. Fidelity Crypto^® IRAs are ineligible for crypto transfers.

As Fidelity Digital Assets^® expands the availability of the crypto transfer feature, you'll be notified by email when you can enable your Fidelity Crypto^® accounts. You can also check your Fidelity Crypto^® account summary, and if your account is eligible, you'll find a choice to deposit or withdraw crypto.

To protect your account when setting up crypto deposits and withdrawals, you’ll validate your identity by scanning your driver's license, passport, or other form of government ID and then taking a photo of yourself and comparing the two images. Finally, we collect a little more information from you to comply with regulatory requirements.

Any account restriction that affects deposits or withdrawals would make your Fidelity Crypto^® account ineligible for crypto transfers or address management. Fidelity Crypto^® IRAs are ineligible for crypto transfers.

An authenticator app is a trusted third-party app that provides an extra layer of security for higher withdrawal amounts. Most authenticator apps (e.g., Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, Twilio, Authy, and Duo) are supported.

If your ID validation and enablement are completed immediately, you’ll see that on the screen. If your validation is pending, you’ll be notified by email when the process is completed.
