Administration Calls Previous Policy 'Overreach'

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer described the vision of the Biden Administration as regulatory bias, said that the officials have chosen the option of keeping their thumb on "scales" against cryptocurrency investment.

Employee Benefit Security Administration said that 2022 guidance has been wandered by the requirements of federal retirement law and marks the departure for fiduciary investment decisions from the "historically neutral, theory-based approach of the department"


Biden Guidance Created Regulatory Chill

The compliance document of March 2022 referred to the initial phase of digital asset development, 401 (K) participants raised serious concerns about "discrimination" to highlight the cryptocurrency investment directly. Guidance warned that the scheme sponsors that provide cryptocurrency options should be expected "inquiries should be expected" and potentially examined by the department.

According to Bloomberg Law, a potential "probe program" was introduced in consultation, which targeted the scheme sponsors, which provided cryptocurrency options, increased interest of 401 (K) service providers.

Alabama's Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville had introduced the law in response, in which retirement of retirement savings has been demanded to protect the cryptocurrency through the accounts.


Broader Crypto Embrace

In the policy, this change is consistent to adopt digital assets by Trump Administration. President Trump had signed an executive order in February, in which the use of digital assets was promoted while providing regulatory clarity about cryptocurrency.

This change has come when Trump family members are moving forward to crypto-related enterprises. Trump-owned Truth Social company announced the plan to set up a "bitcoin treasury" by raising $ 2.5 billion from investors on Tuesday. Vice President Jedi Vance is going to give the main speech at the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Instead, the Labor Department did not release the replacement guidance, instead described it as a "neutral approach", which neither supports the trustees of the plan nor rejects which conclusions that it is appropriate to include cryptocurrency.
