The White House Has Completed Review of Rule Paving Way for Crypto in $10 Trillion 401(k) Plans

The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) of the White House has completed its review of the U.S. Department of Labor's draft proposal. This paves the way for the proposal's publication in the coming weeks, followed by access to crypto assets in 401(k) pension plans.

The initiative follows a corresponding executive order by President Trump in August 2025. The 401(k) plan is the most popular private retirement tool in the U.S., allowing annual tax-deferred contributions of up to $32,500. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the total funds of 70 million 401(k) participants amounted to $10.1 trillion.
