  To open a Robinhood account and start trading cryptocurrencies, you need to be at least 18 years old. This is the minimum age requirement set by Robinhood. Minors are not allowed to open accounts on their own. However, there is an option for parents or guardians to open a custodial account for their children. This allows minors to invest under the supervision of an adult. Keep in mind that trading cryptocurrencies involves risks, so it's important to understand the market and make informed decisions.

  If you're under 18 and interested in trading cryptocurrencies, you can still get involved through a custodial account. Robinhood offers custodial accounts that allow parents or guardians to invest on behalf of their children. This is a great way for young investors to learn about the market and start building their investment portfolio. Just make sure to consult with your parents or guardians and understand the risks involved in cryptocurrency trading.

  While I can't speak specifically for Robinhood, as an expert in the cryptocurrency industry, I can tell you that many exchanges have age restrictions in place to comply with legal requirements and ensure the safety of their users. It's common for exchanges to require users to be at least 18 years old to open an account and trade cryptocurrencies. This is to ensure that users have the legal capacity to enter into financial transactions and understand the risks involved. Always make sure to check the terms and conditions of the specific exchange you're interested in for their age restrictions and requirements.
