House Panel Presses SEC on December 2025 Crypto 401(k) Rules as Bitcoin Trades Near $90,000

On December 12, 2025, the House Financial Services Committee sent a letter urging the SEC to revise its rules so that Bitcoin and other digital assets can be included in 401(k) retirement plans. The initiative builds on President Trump's August 7, 2025 executive order and references the "Retirement Investment Choice Act", while Bitcoin traded around $90,304 following the news. Supporters see a chance to open a new pool of retirement capital for crypto, but critics highlight volatility, fiduciary duties and fraud risks.
