Crypto orders not allowed for account

Alpaca Account Troubleshooting Random
1

Hi

Im getting this error when trying to place a BTCUSD market order:

alpaca_trade_api.rest.APIError: crypto orders not allowed for account

Ive checked that my crypto_status is ACTIVE. Ive also reset my API keys multiple times.
I read in v1 documentation we have to “enable crypto” through the crypto_agreement but im not a business account.

I appreciate any help,
thank you

I’m having the same issue, so I’m just hoping to follow this thread.

Someone else commented earlier this might be because the cryptos not working were FTX pairs. I think this might be the case. We might have to wait till Alpaca changes its pairs.
