The federal agency insures customers' deposits of up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fdic.gov\/resources\/deposit-insurance\/faq\/\">$250,000<\/a> in registered banks, providing a safety net in case of bank failures. However, it does not cover digital assets deposits.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0FDIC cites instances of misrepresentation<\/h2>\n<p>The agency cited three instances of misleading statements made by OKCoin concerning its insurance status. These included a blog post advertisement where the exchange claimed it was licensed across the U.S. and its accounts had FDIC insurance.<\/p>\n<p>Another instance cited by the regulator involved the exchange's statement that the Provenance Blockchain, and its HASH utility token, which is available from OKCoin, have received regulatory approval from SEC, OCC, FED, and the FDIC.<\/p>\n<p>In the third instance, OKCoin's Chief Marketing Officer tweeted that OKCoin offers FDIC insurance on USD deposits.<\/p>\n<p>According to the FDIC, these statements contain false and misleading representations regarding FDIC deposit insurance and could mislead customers.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;OKCoin is not FDIC-insured and the FDIC does not insure non-deposit products. By not distinguishing between U.S.-dollar deposits and crypto assets, the statements imply FDIC insurance coverage applies to all customer funds (including crypto assets). In addition, the FDIC does not insure or endorse particular blockchains.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>An OKCoin spokesperson told <em>CryptoSlate<\/em> that:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;A core principle at Okcoin is to respect applicable laws and regulations, and we remain committed to collaborating with stakeholders including regulators whenever possible.
