White House receives rule to allow crypto in 401(k) retirement plans

A rule that would let 401(k) retirement accounts hold alternative assets, including cryptocurrencies, has reached the White House for review, moving the Trump administration closer to permitting crypto in retirement plans. If finalized, it could unlock a large pool of long-term retail retirement capital for digital assets. Traders would watch for the final rule text and any carve-outs, since broad 401(k) access would be a structural demand catalyst.
