>>24500484

document is the formal approval.

 

The header text says:

 

“Order Granting Accelerated Approval of a Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1, to Amend FINRA Rule 4210 (Margin Requirements) to Replace the Day Trading Margin Provisions with Intraday Margin Standards.”

Dated April 14, 2026.

 

That language (“Order Granting … Approval”) is the SEC’s official action approving the FINRA rule change. So:

 

Yes, the SEC has now formally approved FINRA’s move to replace the old day‑trading/PDT margin provisions with intraday margin standards.

 

This means the regulatory basis for the $25,000 PDT minimum is being replaced, but you still need to watch for (a) the effective date in the order text and (b) your broker’s implementation timeline, because brokers must update their own systems and disclosures before your practical experience changes.
