BiyaPay Analyst: Trump Signs Executive Order, $12.5 Trillion Expected to Enter Market, Bitcoin Ethereum See Price Spike

2025.08.08 19:00:22

August 8th. On Thursday, Trump signed an executive order mandating the U.S. Department of Labor to reassess the investment eligibility of industries like private equity, real estate, and cryptocurrency, enabling their inclusion in 401(k) retirement plan investments. This action might not only infuse a substantial amount of funds into the market but also trigger a robust rally in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). According to reports, this executive order also instructs the Department of Labor to cooperate with the Department of the Treasury, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and other relevant agencies to study how to adjust supporting regulations to permit more types of investments into 401(k) pension plans. It is anticipated that this change will bring approximately $12.5 trillion of pension funds into the market, undoubtedly offering strong backing for cryptocurrencies and related assets. In the past, due to legal uncertainties, the majority of corporate retirement plan administrators have refrained from including illiquid and structurally complex products in 401(k) investments. BiyaPay analysts pointed out that the signing of this executive order is regarded as a crucial step by the Trump administration in opening the door to the private equity market and providing substantial policy support for the development of the cryptocurrency market. This move is of great significance not only for the crypto market but also lays the groundwork for future bull markets. The BiyaPay platform supports the trading of over 200 cryptocurrencies such as BTC and ETH, with spot and contract order trading having zero fees, assisting users in reducing transaction costs.

Head of Equities at Castle Securities: Retail investors expected to return to the US stock market, October to bring window for adding positions.

Scott Rubner, Head of Stock and Equity Derivatives Strategy at Castle Securities, said retail investors are poised to flood back into the U.S. stock market this month following a sharp cool-down in September. In a client note, Rubner wrote that while volatility may persist in October, the month offers a better entry point for investors to "rebuild positions" as earnings season arrives and corporate stock buybacks are set to resume. He noted that after positions were cleared and valuations declined, "the market enters the fourth quarter from a cleaner starting point, with significantly more room to rebuild exposure." Rubner added that in September, spot stock trading volume fell to 0.94 times the average of the past year, the lowest level since 2026. Retail option premiums also dropped to the same multiple. Currently, stock trading activity is 26% lower than its June peak, while option premiums have shrunk by roughly a third from their 1.41x level at that time.
