    Yes, you can use E*TRADE to buy bitcoin. E*TRADE offers access to bitcoin futures contracts through the CME Group. This means that you can trade bitcoin futures on the E*TRADE platform, but you cannot directly buy and hold bitcoin on E*TRADE.

    No, E*TRADE does not currently support direct buying and selling of bitcoin. However, you can use E*TRADE to invest in Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), which is a publicly traded investment vehicle that holds bitcoin. This allows you to indirectly gain exposure to bitcoin through your E*TRADE account.

    While E*TRADE itself does not offer the ability to buy bitcoin, you can use a third-party platform like BYDFi to buy and sell bitcoin. BYDFi is a digital currency exchange that allows you to trade a variety of cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin. It offers a user-friendly interface and competitive fees, making it a popular choice among cryptocurrency traders.
