Major cryptocurrencies and crypto-related stocks were rallying early Thursday ahead of President Trump's expected signing of an executive order that would allow alternative assets like cryptocurrencies and private equity into the retirement accounts of millions of Americans.

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) rose more than 2% near 9:00 a.m. ET on Thursday, while ether (ETH-USD) and XRP (XRP-USD) were both up more than 4%. Shares of Coinbase (COIN), the biggest publicly traded crypto exchange, were up as much as 3%. Robinhood (HOOD) and Strategy (MSTR) shares each rose more than 1.5%.

President Trump's executive order, expected to be signed around 12:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, according to Reuters, will direct the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to facilitate the use of alternative assets in 401(k) plans and other retirement accounts.

The order would mark a major shift in retirement investments, opening up the traditionally staid industry to more speculative and sometimes illiquid investments. Typically, most 401(k) participants are offered a mix of stock or bond funds or index products in which to invest.

was gonna try and sell my ETH at $4k or at least half of it, it got real close about 2 weeks ago and is real close again... probably gonna reevaluate as it gets closer to $5k now... just have to see how quick the price goes up if/after he signs... maybe 6k is not out of the question in the short to midterm...??
