After working in the financial industry for over 20 years and now hearing that regulators are wanting to restrict investors on what they can invest in, specifically crypto investments, makes me question the integrity of our regulatory bodies. All investors should have the right to invest in whatever they believe serves their financial goals and future. Is the US becoming communistic like china?
By limilting the investing power of the common individual you are creating a sense of dependancy and not offering a way to financial independance.
It is our hard earned money not YOURS and we should be able to invest it as WE deem necessary. BITO, is no exception. Investing in Crypto Currency funds allows freedom of diversification which is key to financial planning, to anyone who chooses to do
As an MBA, I understand the importance of investment and knowledge of investment. Regulation of retail investment is not appropriate. As a business professional with financial knowledge - these rule changes have will have little to no impact on me. Others, however will be harmed by them.

It is my understanding that the following items are being considered in order for someone to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. 1. Pass a regulator imposed test of your specialized investor knowledge 2. Demonstrate high net worth 3. Get special
