According to @StockMKTNewz, FINRA has approved amendments to replace the $25,000 minimum capital requirement under the Pattern Day Trading (PDT) rule, with the change now awaiting SEC approval, as reported by CNBC (source: @StockMKTNewz citing CNBC). According to @StockMKTNewz, the current PDT framework still applies to accounts under $25,000 until the SEC acts, meaning no immediate change to day-trading eligibility or margin usage (source: @StockMKTNewz). According to @StockMKTNewz, the post did not provide an implementation timeline beyond noting that SEC approval is pending (source: @StockMKTNewz).
