Crypto in Retirement Accounts: $1 Trillion Potential for Bitcoin

A recent executive order aimed at expanding access to alternative investments within U.S. retirement plans could unlock trillions of dollars, potentially driving Bitcoin prices significantly higher. If just 1% of the current $12.2 trillion in 401(k) assets shifts toward crypto, Bitcoin’s price could soar over $194,000 according to Bitwise estimates. However, regulatory hurdles and market volatility may pose barriers to wider adoption.
