On August 27, the National Institute on Retirement Security (NIRS) released a new survey indicating that 77% of Americans believe incorporating cryptocurrency into workplace retirement plans poses risks, with 46% considering the risk "very high." Additionally, 53% of respondents oppose employers offering cryptocurrency investment options. The survey reveals a growing concern among Americans regarding retirement security, with 80% of respondents stating that the U.S. is facing a "retirement crisis," a significant increase from 67% in 2020. Furthermore, 61% are worried about their financial security in retirement, 68% feel that saving for retirement is becoming increasingly difficult, and 77% report that debt is impacting their ability to save. Conducted by Greenwald Research from October 24 to November 14, 2025, the survey included 1,203 Americans aged 25 and older. Meanwhile, the U.S. government and regulatory agencies are pushing to expand the channels for including cryptocurrencies and other alternative assets in retirement accounts like 401(k)s. In March of this year, the Department of Labor proposed related rules that could provide a potential safe harbor for including alternative assets in 401(k) plans, but the initiative faced opposition from some Democratic lawmakers who argue that the volatility of crypto assets and insufficient investor protections are concerning. This indicates that while U.S. policy is gradually easing the channels for allocating retirement funds to crypto assets, ordinary investors remain cautious about the associated risks.
