401(k) Alternative Investment Expansion
March 30 – March 31, 2026

Where Things Stand
The Department of Labor is proposing new rules to let 401(k) plans invest in private credit and cryptocurrency. This change comes from a presidential order and does not currently involve a fight over government funding or a shutdown. The proposal is in a public review phase and would allow workers to put retirement savings into assets that were once restricted.
