Trump’s 401k Crypto Revolution: How a $9 Trillion Retirement Gold Rush Could Begin
Wall Street's about to get a blockchain enema.
The retirement game changes
A single policy shift could funnel pension funds into digital assets faster than a Bitcoin miner burns electricity. We're talking about unlocking a $9 trillion market—that's three times crypto's current total cap.
Boomers meet blockchain
Imagine 401k plans stuffed with Bitcoin ETFs instead of stale mutual funds. The regulatory dam hasn't broken yet, but the pressure's building like gas fees during an NFT drop.
The fine print
Of course, the usual suspects will take their cut—custodians charging 2% fees to 'protect' your keys, fund managers repackaging shitcoins as 'alternative income strategies.' Some things never change.
This could either be retirement's great democratization...or the greatest wealth transfer to middlemen since the invention of the 401k itself.
