Summary

VanEck has partnered with Basic Capital to incorporate digital asset news into its 401(k) retirement platform, providing U.S. savers with access to selected digital asset ETFs. The offering includes HODL and ETHV, VanEck’s Bitcoin and Ethereum trusts. This follows the U.S. Department of Labor lifting previous restrictions on cryptocurrency in retirement plans.
