  As an expert at BYDFi, I can confirm that eTrade does not allow the use of unsettled cash to buy cryptocurrencies. This is a common policy among many traditional brokerage firms. It's important to understand that unsettled cash refers to funds that have not yet completed the settlement process, and they cannot be used for any transactions, including cryptocurrency purchases. It's best to wait for the funds to settle before making any investment decisions.
