This proposed rule directly interferes with an alternative and preferred way to invest in cryptocurrency funds, as opposed to directly acquiring the specific cryptocurrency itself.

It is inexplicable to me that a straight forward currency-based fund could be deemed "complex", and as such my ability to freely invest in it could become very limited or completely eliminated.

I have never met anyone who thinks investing has no risk. People are by nature very protective of their assets, so give them credit for knowing how to manage risk. My broker already makes me read a disclaimer regarding risky or complex securities every time i seek to trade one. Placing restrictions "protecting" retail investors and traders from themselves inhibits them from the same benefits that institutions enjoy.

The money I invest is my money, not the government. The investment is small and is in a separate asset class from stocks, bonds, ETF's etc. This thinly disguised attempt to take over the banking system, making everything requiring permission, will not be obeyed.

I as a tax paying citizen not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for myself and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. The people shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before they can invest in public securities, including cryptocurrency funds such as BITO.I have an iq of 68 and am perfectly capable of understanding cryptocurrency funds such as BITOand their risks as well as the potential gains that you wish privatize for the privileged few

Stop adding these nonsense rules! Its stupid. Its against the law! Stop it. If you really care about investors, why didnt you propose this when the market was at all time high?????

Leave my money alone!

I strongly oppose placing limitations on my investments. This scheme by FIND A is misguided because of the potential had to investors attempt to reach longtime financial goals as well, and as usual, it is arbitrary and unworkable. A constant key feature of ANYTHING this government's oversight creates I its ineptitude

FINRA has no business involving another governmental agency in the financial markets. Why dont you spend time stopping the big banks from spoofing silver and gold prices. Now that is a real problem you could solve. I minored in Economics in college and understand the risks of leverage and inverse funds. Im currently using these types of positions for downside protection. Its an integral part of my portfolio. If you are attempting to assist the market to the upside, why dont you just return to the Uptick Rule.

I oppose to FINRA potential restriction on certain ETF deemed too hard to understand thereby too risky,, on ground of : - I do not want to go to certain procedures before I can buy - If risky ,the person does not have to invest in the ETF's - I enjoy using these ETF' S to enhance and protect my investment without regulatory cumbersome RED TAPE cannot be good !!

We already have "buyer beware" laws in effect. We don't need further regulations. We are adults, not children and have no need of 'nanny state' protection.
