  Day trading digital currencies on Robinhood is subject to certain restrictions. Traders are limited to a maximum of three day trades within a rolling five-day period. If a trader exceeds this limit, their account may be flagged as a pattern day trader (PDT). Once flagged as a PDT, the trader must maintain a minimum account balance of $25,000 in order to continue day trading. If the account balance falls below this threshold, the trader will be restricted from day trading until the balance is restored. It's important for traders to understand these restrictions and plan their trading activities accordingly.
