Trump to sign executive order allowing crypto in 401(k) retirement plans today.
This move could unlock the BIGGEST CAPITAL INFLOW in #crypto history.
Check out this thread to know everything in detail 🧵👇
First, what’s a 401(k)?
It’s the most popular retirement savings plan in the U.S.
Employers and employees contribute to it. It’s tax-advantaged.
And it holds $8.7 trillion in assets. i.e., 2.24 times more than the entire crypto market cap.
Trump’s executive order:
➡️ Opens the door for #Bitcoin, $ETH & altcoins to be included in retirement portfolios
➡️ Directs the Labor Department to revise guidance for crypto in 401(k) plans
➡️ Instructs the SEC to support access to digital asset products
This is real capital from millions of working Americans.
For comparison:
• #Bitcoin ETFs brought in $53.726 billion.
• 401(k) plans = $8.7 TRILLION
Even a 1% allocation = $87B potential inflow into crypto.
Even a 5% allocation = $435 billion potential inflow into crypto.
What does this mean for Bitcoin?
The first reaction is already here.
BTC started to pump instantly after this announcement.
📈 Open interest and derivatives volume surged.
📈 Sentiment has flipped from cautious to euphoric.
And this is just the beginning.
