  As a cryptocurrency trader, you should be aware of how PDT rules apply to cash accounts. PDT rules are designed to protect traders and ensure they have sufficient funds to cover potential losses. In a cash account, if you make more than three day trades in a five-day rolling period and have less than $25,000 in your account, you will be classified as a pattern day trader. This classification comes with certain limitations, such as being required to maintain a minimum account balance of $25,000 and being restricted from making further day trades for 90 days if your account falls below this threshold. It's important to understand these rules and their implications on your trading strategy to avoid any unwanted consequences.
