A White House review has cleared a Labor Department proposal that could widen the path for crypto-linked exposure in 401(k) retirement plans. The White House’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) has completed its review of a Department of Labor (DOL) proposal that could reshape how 401(k) fiduciaries evaluate alternative assets, including digital-asset exposure. The OIRA’s website shows the review concluded on March 24, with the action marked “consistent with change” and the proposal classified as “economically significant.” The DOL is now expected to publish the proposed rule for a standard 60-day public comment period, which is usually followed by revisions and the issuing of a final rule. The proposal follows President Donald Trump’s Aug. 7, 2025, executive order directing federal agencies to expand access to alternative assets in 401(k) plans, including exposure to digital assets through certain investment vehicles.

A $176 million Bitcoin theft tied to a seed phrase leak reveals how simple surveillance can bypass crypto security and drain entire wallets. In crypto, security is usually regarded as a technical issue. You are asked to safeguard your private keys, rely on a hardware wallet and steer clear of phishing links.

The UK High Court is currently reviewing a case involving the alleged theft of 2,323 Bitcoin (BTC), worth about $176 million. The theft did not stem from hacking or malware. Instead, it began with a seed phrase being exposed, which became the single point of failure in self-custody. The dispute centers on Ping Fai Yuen, who claims that his estranged wife, Fun Yung Li, and her sister gained access to his Bitcoin by secretly recording his wallet’s recovery information. Read more

Crypto philanthropy in Africa builds moments, not enduring systems. Transparency without local ownership and maintenance delivers aid dependency, not dignity. Opinion by: Samuel Owusu-Boadi, founder of WellsForAll Over the past decade, crypto philanthropy has exploded. From a niche experiment to a transformative force channeling billions into global causes, crypto philanthropy’s moment has arrived. According to data from The Giving Block, crypto donations exceeded $1 billion in 2024, proving that blockchain-based giving is now a legitimate, more transparent (in theory) and efficient alternative to traditional charity fundraising. While these figures show momentum, scale alone does not equate to success, especially in philanthropic projects across Africa. Read more
