| Trump Signs Executive Order to Expand 401(k) Access to Alternative Assets |
| |
On August 7, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing regulators to explore ways to allow 401(k) retirement plans to include alternative assets like cryptocurrencies, private equity, real estate, and gold. The move aims to give everyday workers access to investments previously reserved for wealthy individuals and institutions while opening new funding pools for firms in these sectors. Most U.S. employers offer 401(k) plans, where employees contribute part of their paycheck, often matched by employers, instead of traditional pensions with guaranteed payouts. Historically, employers have avoided offering assets like private equity due to higher fees, fewer disclosure requirements, and lower liquidity. The order tasks the Department of Labor with reviewing fiduciary guidance within 180 days and instructs the SEC and Treasury to revise regulations. Firms like State Street, Vanguard, and BlackRock have already partnered with alternative asset managers like Apollo Global and Blackstone to develop private-equity-focused retirement funds, with BlackRock planning a 2026 target-date fund allocating 5-20% to private investments.

| SEC Clarifies Liquid Staking Does Not Violate Securities Laws |
| |
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that liquid staking and related tokens do not violate securities laws, providing clarity for centralized and decentralized crypto trading platforms offering these services. Liquid staking allows users to pledge tokens to secure blockchain networks and validate transactions while maintaining liquidity through liquid staking tokens (LSTs), such as Lido's stETH and Rocket Pool's rETH, with over $68 billion in total value locked across blockchains, according to DefiLlama. Users stake ETH to earn rewards, often expressed as annual percentage yield (APY), or use LSTs on DeFi platforms. In May 2025, the SEC clarified that protocol staking does not automatically constitute securities transactions, reversing earlier actions when it sued exchanges like Coinbase for securities violations; the Coinbase case was dropped in February 2025. This guidance, which supports DeFi platforms and may aid ETF issuers seeking to offer staking services, is not codified law and could change with new SEC leadership. (Source: CNBC)
