Hi community, we have high school students who are actively trading in crypto currency. Is it legal for U18s to do this?

Hi @TeacherinSA,

The age limit requirements will depend on the exchange that person is purchasing the crypto through.

We do have special rules that apply to income earned by those under 18 years of age, though there's no legal age limit for trading in crypto set by us.
