Bitcoin and Ethereum Top Contenders for US Retirement Plans Inclusion

Cryptocurrency is becoming increasingly attractive as an investment option for institutional investors, with many now considering it as part of their diversified portfolio.

According to Robert Crossley, head of global industry advisory services at Franklin Templeton, Bitcoin and Ethereum are leading candidates to be added first to US retirement plans.

This is due to their significant market capitalization and liquidity, making them more attractive than smaller altcoins or memecoins.

The initial inclusion of cryptocurrency in pension portfolios is expected to occur through regulated investment products or professionally managed strategies rather than direct purchases.
