Trading in Fidelity Crypto^® accounts is available 23 hours a day, from 1 a.m. ET until midnight. Periodically, a scheduled maintenance event may keep trading unavailable until 4 a.m. ET.

When maintenance is scheduled, crypto trading is unavailable from midnight to 4 a.m. ET. Account information might be unavailable during the maintenance period.

Crypto limit orders are good for the day and expire at midnight (12 a.m. ET).

Fidelity Crypto^® supports trade sizes up to $2,000,000.

If your funding account is flagged for pattern day trading, this could reduce your cash available to transfer into your Fidelity Crypto® account. There are no day trading limits on cryptocurrencies.

A Fidelity Crypto^® market order executes a buy or sell order at the next price available to Fidelity Digital Assets℠.

A limit order sets the maximum price at which you’re willing to buy or the minimum price at which you’re willing to sell. Limit orders target price, but do not guarantee execution. Your crypto limit order executes when Fidelity Digital Assets℠ can buy or sell at the price you selected, which includes a 1% spread.

Furthermore, Fidelity Digital Assets℠ does not engage in any proprietary activities with customer crypto assets.
