Can you turn your crypto into stocks?

Yes and no. Most exchanges and brokers don’t offer a simple means to convert your crypto straight to stocks, but you can of course, sell your crypto and use those fiat funds to purchase stocks on platforms that offer both markets like Robinhood and eToro.

In addition, you can buy tokenized stocks on specific exchanges using crypto, such as Bittrex.
