A US Republican lawmaker has introduced legislation to permanently embed President Donald Trump’s executive order on retirement investments. This move could expand Americans’ access to crypto-exposed products in 401(k) plans. The bill aims to transform a temporary policy directive into a binding federal law. Sponsored Sponsored Republican House Pushes to Codify Executive Order On Tuesday, Representative Troy Downing (R-Mont.) introduced the Retirement Investment Choice Act. The one-page bill grants Executive Order 14330—Trump’s directive allowing crypto in retirement accounts—“the force and effect of law.” The initiative follows Trump’s August executive order instructing the Labor Department to permit “alternative assets,” including digital assets, when deemed appropriate by plan fiduciaries. The proposal could reshape the $25 trillion US retirement market by opening a new channel for Bitcoin-linked investment vehicles if enacted. Executive orders can guide policy but lack statutory permanence. Future administrations or courts can reverse them. Downing’s bill aims to fix that gap by legally binding the directive. “Alternative investments hold the transformative potential to supercharge Americans’ financial security,” Downing said. “I applaud President Trump for his leadership to democratize finance.” The Retirement Investment Choice Act, introduced in Congress / Source: downing.house.gov Meanwhile, the Department of Labor has 180 days to propose rule changes enabling plan sponsors to include such assets. However, the ongoing government shutdown could delay progress. Sponsored Sponsored About a month after Trump’s order in September, nine lawmakers urged SEC Chair Paul Atkins to accelerate implementation. They argued that 90 million Americans excluded from alternative assets deserve a stable, dignified retirement. Industry groups, including the American Retirement Association, back the bill. They say fiduciaries—not regulators—should decide suitable investment options.

BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors. The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
