  The PDT restriction, which applies to stock traders, limits the number of day trades they can make in a 5-day period. However, since cryptocurrency trading operates 24/7, the PDT restriction does not directly apply to cryptocurrency traders. They can make unlimited day trades without being subject to the same restrictions. This gives cryptocurrency traders more flexibility and opportunities to take advantage of short-term price movements.

  PDT restriction is a rule imposed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to protect retail investors from excessive risk. It requires traders with less than $25,000 in their account to limit their day trades to no more than 3 within a 5-day period. This rule is designed to prevent inexperienced traders from taking on too much risk. However, since cryptocurrency trading is not regulated by the SEC, cryptocurrency traders are not subject to the PDT restriction. They can freely engage in day trading without any limitations.
