President Donald Trump has signed a historic executive order that will allow cryptocurrencies and alternative assetsinto US 401(k) retirement plans for the first time — a move expected to fundamentally reshape long-term wealth building strategies and ripple through global capital markets.
The announcement unlocks access to the $9 trillion US retirement market, historically limited to equities and bonds, by revising investment rules and encouraging retirement plan providers to include digital assets and private equity among investment options.
“This is a defining moment not just for crypto, but for the entire future of finance,” said Nigel Green, CEO of international wealth and asset management firm deVere Group.
“The world’s largest economy is saying, in effect, that digital assets now belong in the core of long-term wealth strategies. This has global implications.”
