  As an expert in the field, I can tell you that Robinhood handles pattern day trading for cryptocurrency traders by adhering to the PDT rules set by the SEC. These rules are designed to prevent excessive risk-taking and protect traders. If a trader on Robinhood makes more than three day trades within a five-day period and their account value is below $25,000, they will be classified as a pattern day trader. To continue day trading, they must maintain a minimum account balance of $25,000. If their account falls below this threshold, they will not be able to day trade until their account balance is brought back up to $25,000 or more. It's important for traders to be aware of these rules and manage their accounts accordingly to avoid any restrictions on their trading activities.
