Democrats oppose the Labor Department's proposal to introduce cryptocurrency into 401k plans
U.S. congressional Democrats strongly oppose the Labor Department's proposal to allow 401k retirement plans to invest in cryptocurrencies, private credit, and private equity assets, arguing that the rule would expose approximately $14.2 trillion in 401k retirement savings to high-risk and complex assets.Senators Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Representative Bobby Scott stated in a joint letter that high-risk assets are highly volatile. For example, Trump's MEME token, which reached over $75 per coin in January 2025, has now fallen to $2. The letter also noted that the proposal could lead to higher fees for workers and weaken long-term returns. In response, the Trump administration stated that the new rule would provide workers with more diversified investment options. (The Guardian)
Analysis: The MEME coin sector has rebounded nearly 20% over the past month, with its total market capitalization rising to $34 billion.
According to DL News, CoinMarketCap data shows that the meme coin sector rose nearly 20% over the past month, with its total market capitalization climbing to $34 billion—still down approximately 75% from its peak of nearly $140 billion in December 2024. Analysts say this rally is primarily driven by improved risk appetite, heightened on-chain speculation, and sharp gains among a few top-tier tokens—factors that may not fully reflect the sector’s overall health. Dogecoin remains the highest-market-cap and highest-trading-volume meme coin, yet it is down 87% from its 2021 all-time high. Additionally, the SEC and CFTC recently proposed a five-category token classification framework that classifies meme coins as collectibles; Canary Capital has also filed an application with the SEC for a Pepe ETF.
