BTC and ETH are the cryptocurrencies most likely to be included in 401(k) retirement plans, according to a new analysis. The speculation follows reports that the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is pursuing measures through the Department of Labor to ease regulations on including alternative assets in such plans. Robert Crossley, head of global industry advisory services at Franklin Templeton, told DL News that major cryptocurrencies with large market capitalizations and high liquidity would likely be introduced before smaller altcoins or memecoins. He explained that initial access would probably come through regulated investment products or professional management strategies rather than direct investment in crypto assets.
