As blockchain adoption accelerates globally, jurisdictions such as the US, EU, UK, and UAE are setting the pace with evolving regulations.

Australian businesses have much to learn from these markets, particularly in integrating digital assets into industries ranging from finance to supply chain management. However, challenges persist, from regulatory uncertainty to scalability issues.

Speaking with Caroline Bowler, CEO of BTC Markets, Steve Vallas (CEO) and Richelle Cox (COO) of Blockchain APAC emphasise the need for Australia to adopt global best practices to remain competitive in the digital economy. Without proactive policies, Australia risks falling behind in the global blockchain race.

Trump signs executive order to expand access to alternative assets in 401(k) retirement accounts amid risks and opportunities

In Short:
– Trump signed an executive order to increase access to alternative assets in 401(k) accounts.
– Critics worry about risks, fees, and transparency in these investments.

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on August 7, 2025, aimed at increasing access to private equity, real estate, cryptocurrency, and other alternative assets within 401(k) retirement accounts.

According to Reuters, this move seeks to give alternative asset managers a larger share of the trillions in retirement savings.The White House cited regulatory burdens as barriers to retirees achieving competitive returns.

Critics, however, expressed concerns about the risks, higher fees, and lower transparency associated with these investments.

Asset managers, including BlackRock, welcomed the decision, highlighting the potential for modernising retirement savings.

The order directs the Labor Secretary and SEC to facilitate easier access to these assets without adding specific legal protections. Analysts noted that this could unlock significant opportunities for major players in the alternative asset market.
