JUST IN: 🇺🇸 SEC Chair Paul Atkins has publicly stated that now is the "right time" to allow cryptocurrencies into 401(k) retirement plans, potentially opening access to the approximately $12.5 trillion U.S. defined-contribution retirement market.
This position reflects a significant pro-innovation shift in regulatory policy under the current administration. Atkins' comments, widely circulated on January 29, 2026, via crypto media outlets (e.g., CryptoBriefing, Phemex, TechFlow) and amplified across X by accounts such as Watcher.Guru, BitcoinMagazine, Crypto Rover, and others, emphasize that the crypto market has matured sufficiently to warrant inclusion—with important caveats.
Core Details from Verified Reporting
Atkins' Exact Framing: He described the moment as opportune to permit crypto exposure in 401(k)s, often phrased as "now is the right time to allow cryptocurrencies into 401(k) retirement accounts" or similar variants. In contexts like recent interviews (including CNBC's Squawk Box), he tied this to broader access for alternative assets, stressing implementation through professionally managed funds rather than direct, self-directed crypto holdings by individuals.
Protective Measures Emphasized: Atkins repeatedly highlighted the need for "protective guardrails" and cautious, collaborative rulemaking between the SEC, Department of Labor (DOL), and other agencies. This approach aims to address volatility, transparency issues, and investor protection under ERISA fiduciary standards—avoiding a repeat of prior DOL guidance that flagged crypto as excessively risky for broad retirement plan inclusion.
Policy Driver: This aligns with President Trump's August 2025 Executive Order on "Democratizing Access to Alternative Assets for 401(k) Investors," which directed agencies to remove unnecessary barriers to alternatives like private equity, real estate, and digital assets in retirement plans.
Broader Context and Reactions
Market Size and Potential Impact: The 401(k) ecosystem holds roughly $12.5 trillion in assets, covering tens of millions of American workers. Even modest allocations (e.g., 1–5% to crypto via ETFs or funds) could channel substantial institutional capital into digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, enhancing liquidity and mainstream legitimacy.
Opposition and Scrutiny: Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) responded swiftly with a January 12, 2026, letter to Atkins (obtained by CNBC and referenced in Senate Banking Committee materials), expressing deep concerns. She warned that crypto's volatility, opacity, and fraud risks could cause workers to "lose big" in retirement savings, pressing for details on how the SEC would enforce fair valuation, combat manipulation, and educate retail investors. She requested responses by late January 2026.
No Immediate Rule Change: This is Atkins endorsing the direction publicly—likely in interviews or statements—but no final SEC or DOL rule has been adopted. Any change would involve proposed rulemaking, public comment periods, and inter-agency coordination to balance innovation with safeguards.
Factual Assessment
The statement originates from Atkins' recent remarks (amplified heavily in crypto communities on X today), building on his consistent pro-crypto regulatory philosophy since confirmation in 2025.
Sources lean bullish in tone from crypto-focused outlets and socialmedia, but mainstream coverage (e.g., CNBC) confirms the comments while highlighting risks and political pushback. No evidence contradicts the core claim—Atkins did express this view—but implementation remains prospective and conditional on protective frameworks.
This development signals continued momentum toward treating crypto more like traditional assets in tax-advantaged accounts, though volatility concerns persist. For anyone evaluating personal retirement implications, professional financial advice is essential—crypto's price swings make it unsuitable as a core holding for most long-term savers without proper diversification and risk management.

The CIA is Orchestrating a Color Revolution Against Trump in Minneapolis
• Barbara Boyd of Promethean Action argues that the ongoing protests in Minneapolis are not organic but an orchestrated "color revolution" aimed at overthrowing President Trump, mirroring CIA-led regime changes we have seen abroad.
• She highlights Dr. Maria Stephan, a former US Institute of Peace (USIP) expert, as a key figure training rioters in tactics like road blockades, building occupations, and creating autonomous zones—methods drawn from events like the Arab Spring and Ukraine's Euromaidan.
• she references Mike Benz's report linking Stephan's Horizons Project to funding from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) cutouts, and James O'Keefe's footage showing highly trained, government-funded networks willing to use violence.
Let's crush this bastards...

BREAKING: Gov. Ron DeSantis confirms a new law in Florida lets him SUSPEND ANY Democrat official who tries to act like Mayor Jacob Frey on protecting illegals
"If EVERY STATE did this, we wouldn't have all these problems!"
"I don't want a Minneapolis mayor situation in Florida!"
"Well, guess what? Because of that legislation that we insisted on, if you did have a situation where they were trying that — we have the ability to remove them from office, SUSPEND them from their position. That's real teeth."
"Since then? We have almost 20,000 illegal alien apprehended by local and state law enforcement, IN ADDITION to DHS!"

BREAKING — Federal agents arrested Don Lemon last night in Los Angeles after he stormed a Minnesota church with anti-ICE rioters.
👏57❤8👍6❤🔥1🥰1😁1
The recent announcement regarding the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) collaborating on "Project Crypto" is legitimate and represents a significant development in US digital asset regulation.
Project Crypto originated as an SEC-led initiative earlier in 2025 (launched under Chairman Paul Atkins) to modernize the oversight of blockchain and digital asset markets. It focused on providing clearer classifications of crypto assets, predictable rules aligned with technological realities, tailored disclosure frameworks, paths to registration for intermediaries, and reduced enforcement surprises to foster innovation while protecting investors and market integrity.
As of January 29, 2026 (just one day before the current date), the CFTC officially joined this effort, transforming it into a joint SEC-CFTC initiative. This was announced during a harmonization event at CFTC headquarters, with remarks from SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and CFTC Chairman Michael Selig. Key points from official statements include:
The partnership aims to reduce regulatory fragmentation, duplicative compliance burdens, and overlapping oversight that has historically increased costs, created legal uncertainty, and hindered US-based innovation.
Priorities include developing a clear crypto asset taxonomy (e.g., distinguishing securities from non-securities/commodities), clarifying jurisdictional boundaries between the agencies, aligning standards, sharing information and surveillance data, and removing unnecessary redundancies.
CFTC Chairman Selig stated: "Duplicative compliance no longer made sense for either industry or supervisors," and emphasized advancing "a clear crypto asset taxonomy, clarify jurisdictional lines, remove duplicative compliance requirements, and reduce regulatory fragmentation."
SEC Chairman Atkins described it as "one of the most ambitious initiatives between our two agencies in a generation," highlighting coordination to implement "clear and principled rules of the road" for crypto markets as they move on-chain.
This aligns with broader efforts under the current administration to position the US as a leader in digital finance, including coordination with ongoing bipartisan congressional work on crypto market structure legislation.
No specific timelines for final rules or guidance were detailed in the announcements, but near-term joint guidance, rule proposals, and a potential memorandum of understanding (MOU) to formalize cooperation are anticipated. The focus remains general on digital assets, blockchain markets, tokenized assets, spot trading, derivatives, and related activities—without naming specific tokens like XRP in the core announcements.
The MEXC News article you linked accurately reports on this development (published January 30, 2026), drawing from CFTC Chair Selig's public statements. It correctly notes the shift toward unified oversight to improve efficiency, market integrity, and innovation. However, the article's framing as a major step forward is consistent with official sources, though MEXC includes standard disclaimers that the content is informational and not advice.
This is not speculative rumor but based on direct agency statements and events. Official confirmations appear on sec.gov and cftc.gov, including speeches and related pages on the Crypto Task Force and harmonization initiative. It reflects a policy shift toward collaboration rather than the jurisdictional conflicts seen in prior years.
In practical terms, this could eventually lead to clearer rules on which assets fall under SEC (securities-like) vs. CFTC (commodities/derivatives) purview, potentially easing compliance for firms and encouraging institutional participation. Effectiveness will depend on implementation details, but it's a concrete move toward regulatory clarity in the digital asset space. If you're tracking implications for specific assets or market segments, let me know for deeper analysis.
