How Old Do You Have to Be to Buy Crypto?

By Gabriele Asaro | Created: April 20, 2025 | Last updated: April 20, 2025 | Read Time: 1 minutes

Most crypto exchanges require users to be at least 18 years old to buy cryptocurrency. 

This age requirement exists because of legal regulations and the need for valid identification for account verification. However, the exact minimum age can vary depending on your location and the specific platform you use.

Most popular crypto exchanges require users to be 18 or older. Platforms like ChicksX enforce this age limit strictly through their verification processes because:

  • Legal regulations require users to be of legal age to enter financial contracts
  • Know Your Customer (KYC) laws mandate ID verification
  • The platforms want to make sure that users understand the risks involved

Being under 18 doesn't mean you can't learn about cryptocurrency. You can still research, follow market trends, and prepare yourself for when you can legally participate.
