  Unfortunately, Fidelity requires a minimum account balance of $25k for day trading digital currencies. This requirement is in place to comply with regulations and ensure the safety of investors. If you don't meet the $25k requirement, you won't be able to day trade on Fidelity.

  While Fidelity does have a $25k requirement for day trading digital currencies, there are other exchanges that do not have this requirement. For example, Coinbase and Binance are popular options for day trading digital currencies without the need for a minimum account balance. It's important to research and choose an exchange that best fits your trading needs.

  Day trading digital currencies on Fidelity without meeting the $25k requirement is not possible. However, there are alternative options available. For instance, you can consider using a margin account, which allows you to borrow funds to meet the minimum requirement. It's important to understand the risks involved with margin trading before proceeding.
