Ethereum Soars Amidst $572 Million Crypto ETF Flows, New SEC Rules Open the Door to Digital Assets in 401(k)s

Crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) attracted a significant influx of capital last week, reaching $572 million as U.S. President Donald Trump opened the massive $8.7 trillion 401(k) retirement market to digital assets. This surge in investment is driving Ethereum prices higher, with the altcoin breaking through the $4,500 barrier for the first time in eight months. This new development comes as ETFs saw a notable influx of inflows last week, driven by both rising DeFi interest and anticipated changes in 401(k) rules.
