US lawmakers continue to urge the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to implement a new executive order allowing US citizens to include Bitcoin and other digital currencies in 401(k) retirement fund assets.
It is worth noting that these funds manage investments worth approximately $12.5 trillion, and any reasonable allocation to digital assets could give Bitcoin price expectations unprecedented optimism.
US Congress pushes to include Bitcoin in retirement investment portfolio assets
On December 11, Congress sent a formal letter to Paul Atkins, Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), expressing support for President Trump’s August 2025 executive order directing the Department of Labor and the SEC to work on changing regulations that prevent Bitcoin from being included in 401(k) accounts.

The initiative aims to provide ordinary workers with investment options comparable to those offered by large pension funds. According to White House data: The total value of U.S. pension fund assets reached $43.4 trillion on March 31, 2025, but most savers are still deprived of access to alternative investment assets as lawmakers believe limited allocations for these assets will improve risk-adjusted returns and help update retirement investment strategies to keep pace.
Experts view this policy development as an important step toward integrating Bitcoin into traditional financial markets. Analysts have found that relatively small allocations (between 1% and 3%) could generate additional buying pressure of tens of billions of dollars, which could push the price of Bitcoin to reach unprecedented levels.
Bitcoin Price Forecast: Technical Analysis Indicators Point to Mid-Cycle Correction Wave
The weekly chart reveals that Bitcoin price broke through an important support zone between $100,000 and $108,000, which currently represents a resistance barrier, leading it to cross the mid-cycle bullish correction wave.
Currently, the price is hovering near the $90,000 level and above the important extended weekly support level, stable at $76,000, representing a necessary structural base to protect the extended upward trajectory.
While the MACD indicator has continued to follow a long bearish trajectory, it has begun to stabilize recently, suggesting a decline in correctional momentum after months of continued selling pressure.
If Bitcoin price manages to regain its position above the $100,000-$108,000 range and its launch extends to retest the next pivot point at $116,000, the chart will then show support to reach the launch target at around $131,000.
PepeNode-PEPENODE IPO Raises $2.33 Million, Can It Replicate Pepe-PEPE’s Success?
Meme coins, such as PepeNode, could see significant price appreciation if Bitcoin regains its upward trajectory and shifts retirement savings toward investments in crypto assets.
Here, PepeNode represents a new and exciting crypto project that managed to raise over $2.33 million despite challenging market conditions.
