  Yes, it is possible to invest in cryptocurrencies using a pre-tax traditional IRA. However, there are certain rules and regulations that you need to follow. The IRS allows investments in a wide range of assets, including cryptocurrencies, within an IRA. You will need to set up a self-directed IRA with a custodian that allows cryptocurrency investments. It's important to note that not all custodians offer this option, so you will need to do some research to find a custodian that does. Additionally, there may be restrictions on the types of cryptocurrencies you can invest in, so make sure to check with your custodian before making any investments.
