On August 7, 2025, Donald Trump signed an executive order opening the way for the inclusion of cryptocurrencies, real estate, and private equity in the list of 401(k) investment options in the United States. This means that participants' funds can now be directed towards previously inaccessible assets for such accounts, including digital currencies. The 401(k) plan is a retirement savings account opened through an employer. Employees contribute a portion of their salary before taxes, and the funds are invested through management companies—typically in the stock market, bonds, or real estate funds. Now cryptocurrencies can be added to this list. Our interlocutor noted that the changes will take effect only after a review of the relevant regulatory norms. The process may take anywhere from several months to a year.$ERA $PROVE $NOT
