Investing involves risk, including risk of total loss.

Crypto as an asset class is highly volatile, can become illiquid at any time, and is for investors with a high risk tolerance. Crypto may also be more susceptible to market manipulation than securities.  Crypto is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, or any other government agency, and is not an obligation of any bank. Investors in crypto do not benefit from the same regulatory protections applicable to registered securities.

Fidelity Crypto® accounts and custody and trading of crypto in such accounts are provided by Fidelity Digital Assets, National Association, which is a national trust bank.

Brokerage services in support of securities trading are provided by Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (“FBS”), and related custody services are provided by National Financial Services LLC (“NFS”), each a registered broker-dealer and member NYSE and SIPC.

Neither FBS nor NFS offer crypto as a direct investment nor provide trading or custody services for such assets.

Fidelity Crypto and Fidelity Digital Assets are registered service marks of FMR LLC.

As with all your investments through Fidelity, you must make your own determination whether an investment in any particular digital asset/cryptocurrency is consistent with your investment objectives, risk tolerance, financial situation, and evaluation of the digital asset. Neither Fidelity nor any of its affiliates are recommending or endorsing these assets by making them available.
