Trump Wants To Put Bitcoin In Your 401(k), Will It Work?


President Donald Trump is preparing to sign a new executive order that could significantly reshape retirement investing in the U.S.

The directive would push to allow alternative assets — including private equity, real estate and cryptocurrencies — to be included in 401(k) retirement accounts, signaling a strategic policy win for industries seeking access to the $12.5 trillion defined-contribution market.

The move aligns with Trump’s broader crypto agenda, including regulatory rollbacks, executive orders and large-scale personal investments.

FINTECH FOCUS

Robinhood Markets Inc. CEO Vlad Tenev shared his perspective on the potential role of cryptocurrency in the company’s future revenue in a podcast aired Tuesday.

Tenev was asked if he envisioned cryptocurrency as the biggest component of Robinhood’s business by 2030.

“I think it depends on how you measure crypto. So if crypto includes tokenization of real-world assets, like stocks, I think that could grow rather large,” Tenev responded.
