  Opening a digital wallet for a minor to invest in cryptocurrencies can be a bit tricky, but it is possible. One option is to open a custodial wallet, which allows a parent or guardian to manage the wallet on behalf of the minor. This way, the parent can control the investments and ensure that they are in line with the minor's financial goals. Some popular custodial wallets include Coinbase and Gemini. When opening a custodial wallet, you will likely need to provide proof of identity and age for both the parent and the minor. It's important to note that not all exchanges and wallets offer custodial options, so make sure to do your research and choose a reputable platform that supports this feature.

  If you're looking to open a digital wallet for a minor to invest in cryptocurrencies, you may want to consider using a hardware wallet. Hardware wallets are physical devices that store your private keys offline, providing an extra layer of security. Some popular hardware wallet brands include Ledger and Trezor. By using a hardware wallet, you can ensure that the minor's investments are kept safe and secure. However, it's important to note that hardware wallets may have age restrictions and require the minor to have their own identification.
