Bitcoin ETFs Cleared for Inclusion in 401(k) Retirement Plans

U.S. regulators have approved Bitcoin ETFs for inclusion within 401(k) retirement accounts, expanding crypto access to over 70 million workers. Asset managers such as BlackRock and Fidelity plan immediate rollouts. Analysts predict the move could add $50–60 billion in potential AUM if adoption reaches 5% of plans. Skeptics warn of volatility risks, citing Bitcoin’s 40% year-to-date swings. The decision marks a historic step in mainstream digital-asset allocation within U.S. retirement portfolios, signaling deeper convergence between crypto and traditional finance.
