I’m not a us citizen but I’m under a working visa living in the us. I can trade crypto on robinhood but why fidelity won’t let me open up a crypto account in the app?
Good morning, @zii. Thanks for your interest in opening a Fidelity Crypto account.
Currently, you can only open a Fidelity Crypto account if you’re a US citizen over the age of 18 and reside in a state where Fidelity Digital Assets can serve customers. Feel free to check out our Crypto 101 to stay current with our offering as it evolves over time.
