Trump 401(k) Executive Order Could Channel Up to $122B Into Bitcoin and Ethereum.
New policy could embed Bitcoin and Ethereum exposure into default 401(k) investment flows, unlocking systematic capital inflows.
“This shift could institutionalize crypto demand through steady, payroll-linked contributions, offering long-term price support and liquidity. Yet, actual impact will hinge on regulatory guidance, plan administrator adoption, and investor readiness for volatile assets in retirement portfolios.”
