With 401(k) opening up to crypto investments, this time it's Wall Street's money increasing your favorite coins.
The executive order signed by Trump allows U.S. 401(k) retirement plans to invest in cryptocurrency, which is like dropping a confidence bomb in the market—detonated with the future pensions of American families.
401(k) is the core of middle-class wealth in the U.S., managing a vast and stable scale. In the past, these funds could only flow into stocks, bonds, and funds, but now crypto assets have also been included in the options list, directly raising the ceiling of the entire crypto market's funding pool.
More importantly, the investment horizon for pensions is often measured in decades, and this patient capital can help the market weather short-term volatility. For the crypto market, this is a structural upgrade from retail FOMO to institutional HODL.
In the short term, the news of this policy will create a window for mainstream coins like BTC and ETH to attract funds; in the medium to long term, it may become a 'slow-burning engine' for a bull market, maintaining some buying support even in a bear market.
