Nine U.S. Congress members have urged SEC Chairman Paul Atkins to expedite the implementation of an executive order signed by Trump in August, which aims to include cryptocurrencies and other alternative assets in 401(k) retirement plans. They argue that this move could provide a more secure retirement for 90 million Americans currently unable to access alternative assets. Analysts suggest that even a 1% allocation of the $9.3 trillion 401(k) market to crypto assets could result in approximately $93 billion in inflows, surpassing the $60.6 billion accumulated by spot Bitcoin ETFs since January 2024.
