This shift would allow retirement accounts to include alternative assets such as digital currencies, private equity funds, and real estate holdings. The <strong>Department of Labor and the Securities<\/strong> and Exchange Commission <strong>(SEC)<\/strong> are expected to draft new rules aligned with this policy.
