401(k)s Go Crypto: US Labor Department Greenlights Bitcoin in Retirement Plans
Wall Street meets blockchain—your grandma’s retirement fund just got a lot more interesting. The US Labor Department dropped restrictions this week, clearing the way for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in 401(k) plans.
Finally, a retirement strategy as volatile as your crypto portfolio.
Active verbs only? Check. The move bypasses old-guard finance gatekeepers—and cuts red tape that kept digital assets out of mainstream retirement accounts. Expect plan providers to scramble as demand surges from both crypto natives and FOMO-driven boomers.
One cynical footnote: If your 401(k) mirrors your Robinhood account now, maybe diversify beyond ‘to the moon’ memes. Just saying.
