The attitude of the U.S. government towards 401(k) retirement plan investments in encryption assets has undergone a significant change. In 2022, the Department of Labor issued a guidance that explicitly warned 401(k) plan managers against including encryption assets in their portfolios. This position reflected concerns about the volatility and risks of the cryptocurrency market at that time.



However, by May 2025, the Department of Labor's attitude underwent a significant shift. They withdrew their previous warning guidance and adopted a more neutral stance. This move suggests that the government's view on the encryption asset market is gradually adjusting, possibly based on the recognition of the industry's development and improved regulatory environment.

Finally, on August 7, 2025, the policy direction underwent a critical shift. By signing an executive order, the 401(k) pension plan investment in encryption was officially approved. This decision marks a significant breakthrough in the U.S. government's policy regarding crypto assets, providing more options for retirement investors.

These policy changes reflect the gradual mainstream acceptance of encryption currencies, while also demonstrating the continuous improvement of the regulatory environment. However, investors still need to carefully assess the associated risks and returns when considering including encryption assets in their retirement portfolios.
