Cryptocurrency trading in coinbase on F1 OPT?

I know that crypto is not regulated. But still, investing and trading crypto violate my VISA status?

No

Passive income is allowed on F1 visa.

Its not an income.

It’s an investment on an asset. Income tax won’t apply. Capital gains applies. So, technically, not an income

Without an OPT, I'm not sure. With an OPT, you're fine.
