I disagree with further retail investor limitations. There are countless resources available for retail investors to utilize in order to learn about leveraged ETFs and other complex investments. Additionally, these investments pose no greater financial risk than any other individual stock investment, which, if the last 2 years have shown us anything, can be even more volatile than cryptocurrency/leveraged ETFs, etc. Nikola, Peloton, and Netflix immediately come to mind as stocks that lost 50% of value or more in a very short time span. I strongly oppose more retail investor limitations.

Please do not ban these products they are beneficial to future savings

The Government already taxes profits on Crypto. I am not in support of this further encroachment of my rights to invest in alternative investments to act as a counterbalance to the overpriced stock market cause by the fed's QE*** purchases. First, Crypto should not be under the SEC as it is not a security, it is closer to a commodity. Second, the SEC is over-reaching it authority even if it is a Security. Effectively banning Crypto would then mean that if someone were to start using the e-money that the US is thinking about doing such also be banned.

This does nothing but hurt individual investors. When people start the argument with "think of the children" it's usually not good.

Dear Regulator(s), Kindly requesting you to reconsider the imposing investment restrictions to individual investors. I am in no position to analyze full picture of why considering such rule and what future impact will be for US investors. However, customers move away from companies that are not prioritizing and addressing customers real need and within parameters these parameters I can imagine restricting individual small Invester with complexity will force to look elsewhere to invest in. As such access to global market, forex, crypto are made easier than ever.

This is just more [REDACTED]. Government regulators got involved with blockfi and Celsius to prevent average Americans from getting 8% return on their savings by staking their stable coins and now they want to interfere with other investment vehicles. Leave us be! Isn't it bad enough that they created double digit annual inflation that they have to do this? Are they going to stop lotteries and trips to Vegas? The answer no proves they don't care about saving dumb Americans from themselves.

Investing should not be controlled by hedge funds, fund managers, and the ultra wealthy. It should be free and accessible to all. Taking away citizens small rights little by little never ends well for the government. Don't limit investing ability to net worth. Information, tools, classes, and all sorts of material are more than readily available for individuals to consume and make their own choices.

Individual investors should have the right to invest in a variety of asset classes and financial securities with varying amounts of risk rather than restrict them to a privileged few (trusts, hedge funds, high net worth individuals, etc.).

The proposed rules are overly restrictive. There are no similar restrictions on other securities such as stocks and bonds. Most investments have the potential to gain or lose value in response to market conditions. It is not appropriate or necessary for crypto to be actively discouraged.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I oppose any restrictions on my right to invest in public investments
