Trump’s Bold Plan: Pushing Crypto into US Mortgages and 401(k)s by 2025

Washington shakes as former President Trump doubles down on crypto—this time targeting the bedrock of American finance: home loans and retirement accounts.

Crypto meets Main Street

No longer confined to speculative trading, digital assets could soon underpin mortgages and 401(k) plans under Trump’s radical proposal. The move would mark the largest forced adoption of blockchain technology by the US government to date.

Wall Street’s worst nightmare?

Traditional banks are already sweating over potential disruption to their loan origination fees—while financial advisors face the existential threat of Bitcoin ETFs competing with their 2% management charges. ‘Financial innovation’ rarely benefits the middle class, but this could redistribute power from institutions to individuals.

The regulatory minefield

SEC Chair Gensler’s worst-case scenario unfolds as crypto bypasses securities laws entirely—embedding itself in federally protected retirement accounts. Expect lawsuits, lobbying frenzies, and at least one major bank claiming they ‘always supported blockchain’ while quietly shorting Coinbase.

Love it or hate it, Trump’s play could make 2025 the year crypto stops being optional for Americans. Just don’t expect your financial advisor to celebrate.
