🇺🇸 WHITE HOUSE BEGINS FINAL REVIEW OF RULE TO ALLOW BITCOIN AND CRYPTO IN 401(k) RETIREMENT PLANS
The Department of Labor has submitted a final rule that would make it easier for employers to offer Bitcoin, crypto, and other alternative investments in retirement plans.
The rule would reduce legal risks for employers offering these investments, potentially opening the $10.8 trillion U.S. 401(k) market to greater Bitcoin exposure.
The rule has not yet been approved.

Binance France to Close Customer Accounts on December 31, Introduce Monthly Fees From November 29
According to Cryptoast, Binance France will close its customer accounts on December 31, 2026, after failing to obtain authorization under the EU's MiCA framework. Deposits have already been suspended. Citing a Binance customer email, Cryptoast reported that accounts still holding assets will incur a monthly management fee of 0.025%, with a minimum charge of 10 USDC, starting November 29. Crypto assets not withdrawn by December 31 may be converted, transferred, or otherwise handled under the Terms of Service. The closures apply to accounts held with the Binance France entity and do not mean Binance's global platform is closing all French users' accounts.
