  If you are under 18 and want to set up a Robinhood account for trading digital currencies, there are a few restrictions and additional steps you need to be aware of. First, Robinhood requires users to be at least 18 years old to open an account. This is due to legal and regulatory requirements. Therefore, if you are under 18, you will not be able to create a Robinhood account for trading digital currencies. However, there are other platforms and exchanges that may allow users under 18 to trade digital currencies, so you can explore those options.
