Your Fidelity Crypto^® trades are commission free. A spread of 1% will be included in every trade execution price. A spread is the difference between your execution price and the price at which Fidelity Digital Assets℠ buys or sells digital assets to fill your order. Fidelity Digital Assets℠ will not separately calculate and disclose spread earned on the trade confirmation screen.

If you have an account through Fidelity Crypto^® for Wealth Managers, please see your customer agreement for the applicable spread and contact your advisor or intermediary for details on other fees that apply to your Fidelity Crypto^® for Wealth Managers account. Please refer to the Fidelity Crypto^® for Wealth Managers Customer Agreement.

• Buy orders will be eligible to execute if the market price of your selected crypto goes 1% below your limit price.
• Sell orders will be eligible to execute if the market price of your selected crypto goes 1% above your limit price.
