  Unfortunately, the pattern day trading rule applies to all types of trading, including digital assets. This rule is enforced by regulatory bodies to protect retail investors from excessive risk. It requires traders to maintain a minimum account balance of $25,000 in order to engage in day trading activities. While it may be frustrating for some traders, it is important to comply with these regulations to ensure a fair and transparent trading environment.
