Is it possible to use Coinbase if you're under 18?

Benjamin MillagouFeb 21, 2025 · 5 months ago3 answers

I'm under 18 years old, can I still use Coinbase to trade cryptocurrencies? Is there an age restriction for using Coinbase? What are the requirements for opening an account on Coinbase if you're under 18?

    Unfortunately, Coinbase has an age restriction and you need to be at least 18 years old to create an account. This is due to legal and regulatory requirements. However, there are other platforms that allow users under 18 to trade cryptocurrencies. It's important to do your research and find a platform that suits your needs and complies with the regulations in your jurisdiction.

    Nope, you can't use Coinbase if you're under 18. They have strict age restrictions in place. But hey, don't worry! There are plenty of other exchanges out there that cater to younger traders. Just make sure to check their terms and conditions to see if they allow users under 18. Happy trading!

    As an expert from BYDFi, I can confirm that Coinbase does not allow users under 18 to create an account. However, there are alternative options available for young traders. Some exchanges have lower age restrictions or even offer special accounts for minors. It's always a good idea to explore different platforms and find one that aligns with your age and trading needs.
