Coinbase is teaming up with Forusall to launch an alternative 401k plan that offers in-plan cryptocurrency access. The plan will officially launch in July.

The deal brings cryptocurrencies a step closer to mass adoption

ForUsAll Inc, a 401k provider, announced earlier this month a partnership with the institutional arm of Coinbase Global Inc that will allow employees in its plans to invest up to 5% of their 401k contributions in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and other cryptocurrencies.

With just $1.7 billion in retirement assets, ForUsAll represents a small portion of the $22 trillion retirement account market. But the deal opens a door to a new use case for cryptocurrencies and is one step closer to mass adoption.

The head of Coinbase's institutional crypto arm, Brett Tejpaul, said during Forusall's alt 401 k announcement that the expansion of digital assets into mainstream retirement plans will broaden the playing field. “When we created our institutional platform, our initial focus was making cryptocurrency accessible to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals,” Tejpaul remarked. “The next evolution is to broaden our reach, and we are thrilled to be working with Forusall, the leading 401k technology platform, to expand access to cryptocurrency through 401ks.”

Participants get notified when their crypto investments exceed 5%  of the balance

The company plans to notify participants when the value of their crypto investments exceeds 5% of the balance and ask them to sell some crypto and transfer the profits into stocks and bonds. If the balance in crypto holdings exceeds 5% of a portfolio's value, an employee would no longer be allowed to transfer more of his or her current balance into it, although current contributions can continue.

Forusall's alt 401k option isn't the first retirement plan to bring crypto assets into play. U.S.-based Digital Asset Investment Management (Daim) revealed in November 2020 that it was offering a company-sponsored 401k retirement plan. Daim's product allocates up to 10% in bitcoin via the institutional-grade custodian Gemini Trust. Gemini is also partnering with Bitwage to allow employees to invest their pre-tax and post-tax dollars in bitcoin (BTC).

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
