It is happening!

Trump just signed an executive order to allow cryptocurrencies to be included in US retirement plans like the 401(k). Yes, really. 😱

Why is this such a big deal?

Because the US 401(k) system holds over 12 trillion dollars in retirement savings. That’s a massive mountain of capital that has, until now, been off-limits to Bitcoin and crypto.

This order doesn't mean everyone can throw their retirement funds into Bitcoin tomorrow... but it sets the gears in motion. The Department of Labor and other regulators will be rewriting the rules to allow retirement plans to offer access to crypto, private equity, real estate, and more.

As a long-time believer in Bitcoin, I’m honestly super happy for the US retirees who now get a shot at real diversification beyond just stocks and bonds. 🧓📈 But even more so, I’m happy for all of us who’ve been riding the ups and downs of Bitcoin for years… because this move adds massive legitimacy and potential capital inflows into the space.

And yes, the market noticed.

Bitcoin climbed past $117K again after the announcement. Ethereum also saw a sharp jump, and related ETFs and stocks rallied as Wall Street started pricing in future demand.

If you're thinking about getting exposure to Bitcoin but don't want to deal with wallets or cold storage, here’s how I personally do it:

✅ I use Bitcoin spot ETFs like IBIT (iShares) or GBTC (Grayscale).
They’re simple, liquid, and come with relatively low fees. You can buy and sell them just like a stock. And for most people, that’s the easiest and safest way to get started.
