Is Binance FDIC insured

Will my investments be FDIC insured? No. However, Kraken Bank will be fully reserved (i.e., no fractional reserve banking or associated re-hypothecation and lending activities). All assets will be kept on hand and available as cash or the least risky, most liquid cash equivalents.

Coinbase shares its security measures openly, and keeps the majority of users’ crypto in secure, offline storage to protect it from threat of hacking and digital theft. Plus, any cash that you keep in Coinbase is FDIC-insured up to $250,000.

Both platforms have solid security track records, and neither has had any significant breaches . Kraken stores 95% of its assets in guarded air-gapped cold storage and has strict surveillance across the entire platform and multiple checkpoints throughout the signup process.

Representatives from both the SIPC and the FDIC confirmed that neither currently insures crypto assets . That means there’s no federal protection for your cryptocurrency. As far as the government is concerned, you’re on your own.
