  Unfortunately, most cryptocurrency exchanges have age restrictions and require users to be at least 18 years old. However, you can explore peer-to-peer trading platforms or decentralized exchanges that may have fewer restrictions. Remember to always prioritize your safety and be cautious when dealing with individuals or platforms you are not familiar with.
