Trump Set to Broaden 401(k) Retirement Investment Options to Include Crypto

President Trump is reportedly ready to crack open the $9 trillion retirement market via 401 (k) retirement plans.

A new executive order in the works would instruct federal agencies to tear down barriers preventing 401(k) managers from allocating funds into alternative assets like crypto, gold, and private equity, according to the Financial Times.

The order would instruct regulators to dismantle roadblocks that keep these assets out of retirement plans. Here’s what it means for you:

Trump’s 401(k) Retirement Market Revolution

The move escalates Trump’s rollback of Biden-era restrictions on retirement investing. The Labor Department’s previous stance has already been tossed, and what comes next is a more aggressive mainstreaming of alternatives like Bitcoin and private equity into the 401(k) ecosystem.

Wall Street titans have been circling the wagons here since 2020. BlackRock, Apollo, and Blackstone are already striking deals with retirement giants like Empower and Vanguard, positioning themselves for what could be the largest capital migration in modern financial history.
