Description

Fidelity, one of the largest investment managers in the world, made headlines when it announced its intention to offer clients the ability to invest in crypto through their 401(k) retirement accounts. In such a volatile environment, is it a risky bet to add digital assets to a retirement plan? Bloomberg reporter Suzanne Woolley joins this episode to talk about the recent history of 401(k) investments in crypto, and why the US Labor Department is less than enthusiastic about the move.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Crypto is the world's hottest financial trend. Digital tokens like Bitcoin and NFTs have moved from niche products to showing up in Super Bowl commercials and song lyrics.  Advocates of these new asset classes promise they will democratize the finance industry, and they hail the blockchain technology that backs it all as the future of computing. Skeptics say it's another financial house of cards. No newsroom on the planet is better equipped than Bloomberg to cut through all the noise and provide clarity, context and authority. In this new daily podcast, Bloomberg’s reporting team will tease out what’s actually important in the crypto conversation. Led by crypto expert Stacy-Marie Ishmael, the podcast will draw on reporters in every region and credible voices in the industry to cover everything from regulation to alt coins to DeFi, and even the environmental impact of the currency that promises to change the finance landscape indefinitely.
