Trump Executive Order Paves Way for Crypto in 401(k) Plans
President Donald TRUMP is poised to sign an executive order that could revolutionize retirement investing by allowing 401(k) plans to include cryptocurrencies and alternative assets. The move would mark a significant expansion of investment options beyond traditional stocks and bonds.
The order, expected as early as this week, would direct regulators to explore integrating digital assets into retirement accounts while addressing potential barriers. While not yet official, the proposal signals a potential watershed moment for cryptocurrency adoption among mainstream investors.
North Carolina and global pension funds have already begun exploring crypto investments for retirement portfolios, suggesting growing institutional interest in digital assets as long-term holdings.
