Ira: Buy Cryptocurrency In

His first step was research. Liam spent hours reading about custodians and the legal frameworks of digital assets. He learned that while the IRS allowed cryptocurrencies in retirement accounts, the logistics were entirely on him. He couldn't just use his regular exchange account. He had to find a custodian that specialized in non-traditional assets.

He didn't want to day-trade. He wanted to buy and hold. He set his eyes on Bitcoin and Ethereum.

He watched the confirmation screen pop up. There it was: a fraction of a Bitcoin and a few Ethereum coins, safely tucked away inside his retirement shield.
