  While Schwab does not currently support the direct purchase of i bonds with cryptocurrency, there are alternative ways to invest in i bonds using cryptocurrency. Platforms like Coinbase and Binance offer the option to convert your cryptocurrency into fiat currency, which can then be used to purchase i bonds through Schwab or other traditional brokerage firms. It's important to note that these platforms may have their own fees and requirements for converting and transferring funds.
