  Yes, having a Series 6 and 63 licensing is necessary if you want to trade digital currencies. These licenses are required by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for individuals who want to sell investment products, including digital currencies. By obtaining these licenses, you demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of the regulations and best practices in the financial industry, which is crucial for trading digital currencies safely and legally.

  No, you don't need a Series 6 and 63 licensing to trade digital currencies. Unlike traditional securities, digital currencies are not regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or FINRA. However, it's important to note that trading digital currencies still carries risks, and it's recommended to do thorough research and seek professional advice before getting involved in this market.
