I’ve been interested in finance for multiple years now, I’ve looked into custodial accounts and have set one up with my father. I initially invested $1,000 as a start up and it have raised to 3,000 now. From that gain I grew in confidence and found out that I could invest on cash app, I invested 1,200 on cash app and turned that into 3,000 currently but both accounts fluctuate. My main problem is that cash app limits my transactions at $400 per month making buying big stocks hard as well as the fact that i don’t want to keep giving my dad money to add to my custodial account. How can I invest better? My second question is how can I get into crypto? Since investing in the stock market I’ve gained a curiosity into cryptocurrency, I’m not very knowledgeable in the topic but I’m sure I can learn, currently all I can buy is bitcoin but my dad trades solana frequently and has made a good profiteering form what I know. Are there any places online that I can buy crypto without having to lie about my age?
 
Ngl turning that initial capital into $3k twice at 15 is a massive win. You already have a better financial head start than 95% of the guys scrolling this board.
Your biggest bottleneck right now is strictly age regulations. You legally cannot bypass KYC laws on mainstream apps to buy crypto or trade big stocks on your own without lying about your age, and if you lie, they will lock your account and freeze your money the second they ask for an ID verification.
Here is how you actually optimize this setup without dealing with Cash App's trash $400 limits:

1. Ditch Cash App for a Real Custodial Brokerage
Cash App is a joke for serious investing. Since you already have a custodial account set up with your dad, you need to migrate your stock trading over to a tier-1 brokerage like Fidelity (Fidelity Youth Account) or Charles Schwab. Fidelity allows custodial accounts for teens with zero commission fees, fractional shares (meaning you can buy $10 of Amazon or Nvidia instead of needing the full stock price), and they don't cap your monthly deposits at $400. You won't have to keep bugging your dad to execute trades once it's linked.

2. Capitalize on Your Dad's Solana Setup
If your dad is already profitable trading Solana, you are sitting on a massive cheat code. Do not try to find shady, sketchy "no-KYC" offshore crypto exchanges online—they are highly likely to exit-scam or freeze your funds. Instead, ask your dad to open a sub-account or a separate custodial crypto wallet under his name on a major exchange like Coinbase or Kraken (both have custodial/joint options depending on the region). Let him handle the legal onboarding, deposit your cash through him, and use that account to buy SOL or BTC.

3. Move On-Chain (The Real Crypto Loop)
Once your dad helps you buy initial SOL or BTC from a centralized exchange, have him send it to a self-custody software wallet that you control entirely (like Phantom Wallet for Solana or Metamask for EVM chains).
On-chain Web3 wallets do not require an ID or an age check to use. Once the crypto is in your own wallet, you can use decentralized exchanges (DEXs) like Jupiter or Raydium to trade Solana ecosystem tokens, track smart money wallets, and learn the actual mechanics of crypto completely unrestricted by corporate age limits.
Just keep grinding the stock baseline while you learn the on-chain crypto meta from your dad.
