  Yes, there are restrictions when using unsettled cash for cryptocurrency transactions on TD Ameritrade. According to TD Ameritrade's policy, you can only use settled cash to buy or sell cryptocurrencies. Unsettled cash refers to funds that have not yet been cleared from a recent sale or deposit. It typically takes two business days for cash to settle in your account. Therefore, if you want to use cash for cryptocurrency transactions, make sure it is settled before placing the order.
