On August 8, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump signed a decree allowing the inclusion of cryptocurrency in 401(k) retirement accounts investment portfolios. This move opens access to alternative assets, such as $BTC , private equity, and real estate, for millions of Americans saving for retirement. The decree aims to expand investment opportunities previously available only to wealthy investors and supports Trump's ambitious goal of making the U.S. 'the cryptocurrency capital of the world.'
After the signing of the decree, the price of Bitcoin rose by 2%, reaching $116,542, reflecting market optimism. However, experts warn of high risks due to cryptocurrency volatility. The U.S. Department of Labor has been tasked with reviewing regulations within six months to adapt them to new requirements. This move cancels previous warnings from the Biden administration, which had urged caution when investing in cryptocurrency.
The initiative also supports the interests of major players, such as BlackRock and Blackstone, who are looking to attract trillions of dollars in pension funds. Despite the potential benefits, critics emphasize the need for careful planning to avoid losses for ordinary investors.
