This encompasses digital assets, metals, private loans, infrastructure investments, and corporate buyout funds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump is dedicated to reinstating prosperity for average Americans and protecting their financial future,\u201d remarked the White House in a statement to the Financial Times. \u201cNevertheless, no choices should be considered official unless they originate directly from President Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s initiative builds on his administration\u2019s previous attempts to relax <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/guides\/what-is-bitcoin\">bitcoin<\/a> and crypto regulations. In May, the Department of Labor rescinded a rule that discouraged bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in retirement plans. Trump has also endorsed recent bitcoin and other crypto-related legislation passed by the House and credited the sector for aiding his victory in the 2024 election.<\/p>\n<p>The executive order could advantage large private investment firms like Blackstone, Apollo, and BlackRock, as stated by the Financial Times, which have largely relied on investing funds on behalf of <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/markets\/bitcoins-transformative-role-as-a-retirement-asset\">retirement<\/a> savers for their future growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlackstone has formed a partnership with Vanguard, while Apollo and Partners Group are among the firms that will present investments to Empower, a major 401(k) plan sponsor. BlackRock has already commenced collaboration with Great Gray Trust, a third-party manager of retirement savings plans,\u201d noted Financial Times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/news\/president-trump-plans-to-open-401ks-to-bitcoin-crypto-gold-and-private-equity-ft\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;`html Financial Times announced today that President Trump is set to sign an executive order permitting 401(k) retirement plans to invest in alternative assets like gold, private equity, and cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin.
