Recently, President Trump signed a landmark executive order that brings significant changes to the U.S. pension system. This order not only allows 401(k) retirement accounts to invest in Crypto Assets, but also includes alternative assets such as private sale equity and real estate in the investment scope, marking a new era for the U.S. pension system.

This move is seen as a significant boost for the Crypto Assets market and is expected to bring in trillions of dollars in potential investment for the digital assets market. The document released by the White House emphasizes that alternative assets can not only provide competitive returns but also help diversify investment portfolios.

It is worth noting that while U.S. law has not previously explicitly prohibited retirement accounts from investing in crypto assets, the regulatory attitude has always been relatively cautious. In May of this year, the U.S. Department of Labor rescinded its previous guidance requiring retirement plan fiduciaries to exercise "extreme caution" when investing in crypto assets. Now, Trump's executive order goes a step further, directing the Department of Labor to issue new guidance that places crypto assets on equal footing with other types of investments.

Industry insiders analyze that this policy change may prompt many wealth management institutions that were originally on the sidelines regarding Crypto Assets to reassess their investment strategies. This could not only bring substantial capital inflows to Bitcoin spot ETFs and other related funds but may even directly drive the demand for the Crypto Assets themselves.

However, it is worth noting that the timing of this order coincides with a period of volatility in the Crypto Assets market, raising many speculations about the policy intentions. Nevertheless, this move undoubtedly paves the way for the integration of Crypto Assets with the traditional financial system and is expected to bring long-term benefits to the digital asset market.

With the implementation of this policy, investors and market participants will closely monitor its impact on Crypto Assets prices and the overall market ecosystem. At the same time, finding a balance between pursuing high returns and controlling risks will become a new challenge for pension managers.
