The United States has proposed allowing crypto to be included in 401(k) retirement plans.

The Department of Labor has introduced new regulations that would permit cryptocurrencies and alternative assets to appear in citizens’ retirement portfolios. This change could potentially impact 118 million Americans and a massive pool of capital worth $8.8 trillion.

The regulation does not automatically add crypto to accounts but instead creates a legal framework for fund managers to make proactive choices. This marks an important step toward enabling long-term institutional capital to access the market in a legitimate way.

Opening retirement funds to crypto could bring abundant and more stable liquidity to the entire blockchain industry.
