In this episode of Friday Fiduciary Five, Eric Dyson talks about the Department of Labor's (DOL) Compliance Assistance Release 2025-01, effective May 28, 2025, which rescinds previous DOL and EBSA guidance on cryptocurrency in 401(k) plans. The DOL clarifies that the "extreme care" standard mentioned in the 2022 release does not exist in ERISA; instead, it refers to the duty of loyalty and prudence. Eric remains skeptical about including cryptocurrencies in 401(k) plans until evidence shows improved participant outcomes. He emphasizes that sophisticated investors should handle such investments individually, not through their 401(k) plans, to avoid overly complex investments for the average employee.
