- $1.57B entered crypto funds late last week
- US approves crypto in 401(k) retirement plans
- Net weekly inflows hit $572M after early losses
Digital asset investment products saw a massive turnaround late last week, as crypto inflows hit $1.57 billion within just a few days. This spike came right after the US government announced it would allow cryptocurrencies in 401(k) retirement plans.
The decision marks a major milestone for mainstream crypto adoption , opening the door for millions of American workers to allocate part of their retirement savings into digital assets. Analysts say this could significantly boost long-term demand for crypto, especially Bitcoin and Ethereum , as retirement accounts traditionally hold large and stable capital pools.
From Outflows to Weekly Gains
Earlier in the week, sentiment was shaky. Weak US payroll data had spooked investors, causing $1 billion in outflows from crypto funds. However, the retirement plan news completely flipped market sentiment, with inflows erasing those losses and pushing the week’s total to a net $572 million.
Market watchers believe the quick reversal highlights the growing sensitivity of digital asset markets to regulatory developments. A positive policy shift can outweigh even negative macroeconomic news in the short term.
Institutional Interest Likely to Grow
The inclusion of crypto in 401(k) plans could encourage more institutional money managers to offer similar investment products. Retirement funds are traditionally conservative, so this move also signals increasing trust in crypto’s long-term viability.
If adoption continues, crypto inflows could remain strong in the coming months, potentially lifting overall market valuations. While risks remain—such as volatility and regulatory shifts—the retirement plan approval is seen as a landmark event for the industry.
