Crypto in US 401(k) retirement plans may drive Bitcoin to $200K in 2025

Trump’s move to allow crypto in 401(k) retirement plans could push Bitcoin to $200,000 by the end of the year, according to Bitwise’s head of European research.

The inclusion of cryptocurrency in US retirement plans could mark a milestone for Bitcoin adoption and unlock billions of dollars in new capital, potentially pushing the asset above $200,000 by the end of 2025, according to André Dragosch, the head of European research at crypto asset manager Bitwise. 

President Donald Trump paved the way for cryptocurrency inclusion in US 401(k) retirement plans after signing an executive order on Aug. 7, granting Americans access to digital assets through their retirement plans.
