  No, individuals under the age of 18 are generally not allowed to open a brokerage account for cryptocurrencies. Brokerage firms typically require their clients to be of legal age, which is 18 or older in most jurisdictions. This is due to various legal and regulatory requirements that aim to protect minors from potential risks and scams associated with cryptocurrency trading.
