According to @milesdeutscher (Twitter, Aug 11, 2025), US 401(k) retirement plans can now hold crypto assets, potentially unlocking a buyer pool worth trillions and expanding market access for digital assets (source: @milesdeutscher on Twitter). According to @milesdeutscher (Twitter, Aug 11, 2025), the change will take months to be fully implemented, suggesting traders should monitor plan-provider rollout timelines for phased demand impacts (source: @milesdeutscher on Twitter).

According to @KobeissiLetter, President Trump has allowed 401(k) plans to buy crypto, highlighting $9 trillion in total 401(k) assets versus a $4 trillion total crypto market cap, a 2.25x capital-to-market ratio (source: @KobeissiLetter). The author frames this as a structural access change that could open retirement-plan demand channels for major assets like BTC and ETH if plan adoption follows (source: @KobeissiLetter). As a scale reference for traders, each 1% of the cited $9 trillion pool equals $90 billion of potential allocable capital, underscoring how even small allocations could be material relative to crypto’s $4 trillion size (source: @KobeissiLetter). The post provides no official policy document, implementation timeline, or plan-level details, so traders should verify custodial and plan-menu changes before positioning (source: @KobeissiLetter).
