    To remove pattern day trader status on Robinhood for trading cryptocurrencies, you need to make sure you have a cash account instead of a margin account. Pattern day trader status is triggered when you make more than 3 day trades within a 5-day rolling period using a margin account. By switching to a cash account, you won't be subject to the pattern day trader rules. However, keep in mind that with a cash account, you won't have access to instant deposits and instant settlements.
