The following are a few reasons why you can't place a buy order:

You don’t have enough buying power to place the trade. Crypto are non-marginable and can’t count as collateral, so you’ll need to have enough cash in your account to place the order.

You don’t have enough equity to reach your margin minimum. If you have a margin account (through Robinhood Financial) and are using margin buying power, you can't place a crypto order in your Robinhood Crypto account that will cause your maintenance or minimum balance in your margin account to drop lower than required amounts.

Your account is resticted from trading. Restrictions on your Robinhood Financial account can result in restrictions on your Robinhood Crypto account. For example, if we’ve placed a restriction on your Robinhood Financial account preventing you from purchasing stocks, crypto purchases may be impacted until the restriction has been lifted.
