TREE NEWS update: The U.S. Department of Labor sent its proposed rule allowing 401(k) retirement plans to hold crypto and other alternative assets to the White House Office of Management and Budget for final review on Thursday. The proposal, published in March, sets no limits on which digital assets qualify and no minimum market-cap threshold, but requires plan fiduciaries to assess performance, fees, liquidity, valuation, benchmarks and complexity. Bitcoin and ether may see early adoption, though altcoins are not automatically excluded.

The real weight here sits with plan fiduciaries, not with crypto prices: the rule grants access but shifts the burden of proof onto those who must judge liquidity, valuation and complexity without any qualifying threshold to lean on. That absence of limits cuts both ways, leaving room for broad adoption while inviting scrutiny of how fiduciaries justify their choices. Whether OMB review preserves that open-ended structure, or narrows it before the rule is finalized, is the open question worth watching.
