I am on F-2(student dependent) visa in the US. I want to know if it is possible to have a brokerage account and invest online on stocks or cryptos?

I do not have SSN nor ITIN and some brokerage like Robinhood have SSN requirement. But I am curious to know if there are others will accept this condition and also are safe and good to go?

US brokerages will require a tax id since that's necessary to properly report your earnings. You can issue an ITIN if you're not eligible for SSN, see form W7 and its instructions.
