  Yes, you can use your Schwab IRA to invest in cryptocurrencies. However, it's important to note that Schwab itself does not offer direct cryptocurrency trading. Instead, you can use your Schwab IRA to invest in cryptocurrency-related assets, such as Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) or other cryptocurrency-focused investment funds. These funds allow you to indirectly invest in cryptocurrencies through traditional financial instruments. It's always a good idea to consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
