Depending on the value of your exchange in $USD, you may want to consider having your bank (if you go to a bank) place your funds in a BROKERAGE account instead of a bank account (you’d need to open it separately). Why? Because brokerage accounts are insured by SIPC not FDIC. FDIC (for bank money) only insures up to $250K ($500K for joint accounts) whereas SIPC (for investment accounts) insures MUCH (much!) more. Coverage for both comes along with the account. Talk to your advisor about the differences.
