  Unfortunately, Ameritrade requires traders to meet the minimum balance requirement in order to trade cryptocurrencies. This requirement is in place to ensure that traders have sufficient funds to cover potential losses. If you're not able to meet the minimum balance requirement, you may want to consider other platforms that have lower or no minimum balance requirements for cryptocurrency trading.

  No, you cannot trade cryptocurrencies on Ameritrade without meeting the minimum balance requirement. This requirement is set by the platform to protect both the traders and the exchange itself. It ensures that traders have enough funds to cover potential losses and reduces the risk of default. If you're unable to meet the minimum balance requirement, you may want to explore other exchanges that have more flexible trading conditions.
