On August 7, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order allowing 401(k) retirement funds to invest in alternative assets, including Bitcoin, private equity, and real estate. This information immediately drove Bitcoin's price up more than 2%, surpassing the $116,500 mark, pulling many altcoins like Ethereum, Solana, and XRP along in recovery.
Analysts evaluate this as a major step in bringing Bitcoin into the mainstream financial system, opening up access to the $43 trillion U.S. retirement market. Many optimistic forecasts suggest that BTC could aim for $120,000 in the short term.
However, experts also warn of the risks of strong volatility, high costs, and the lack of clear legal guidance, requiring investors to be cautious when allocating capital to this type of asset.
In my opinion, BTC's rise will continue, especially if interest rates are cut in September, which would be quite beneficial for both sides.
