Bitcoin's price has doubled since last year, reaching near $120,000 per coin. A new executive order signed by President Trump allows Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to be included in 401(k) retirement accounts, potentially unlocking a $12.2 trillion market. This move, along with other recent pro-crypto actions, has boosted investor optimism, although some predict a market correction in 2026. The order also addresses concerns about unfair debanking practices affecting businesses and individuals based on political or religious beliefs.
