    There may be limitations or restrictions when using an ITIN to open a brokerage account for cryptocurrency investment. Some brokerages may require a Social Security Number (SSN) instead of an ITIN. It's important to check with the specific brokerage you're interested in to see if they accept ITINs and what their requirements are.

    Using an ITIN to open a brokerage account for cryptocurrency investment can have certain limitations. Some brokerages may have stricter Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements for ITIN holders, which could involve additional documentation or verification steps. It's advisable to research and compare different brokerages to find one that accommodates ITIN holders.
