    Sure! FDIC insurance is a government-backed program that protects depositors in case a bank fails. In the context of Robinhood's cash sweep program, it means that if Robinhood's partner bank fails, the cash held in the program, including cryptocurrency investors' funds, would be protected up to $250,000 per account. This provides an additional layer of security for cryptocurrency investors using Robinhood.
