“The executive orders reduce regulatory ambiguity, opening the door for faster innovation and wider adoption,” says Jonathan Rose, CEO of BlockTrust IRA, a cryptocurrency investment platform that offers both AI-managed and self-managed IRA accounts.

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday that aimed to allow more private equity, real estate, cryptocurrency, and other alternative assets in 401(k) retirement accounts – opening the way for alternative asset managers to tap a greater share of trillions of dollars in Americans' retirement savings.

Changes in legislation or additional laws historically have created opportunities for the alternative investment marketplace to expand.
