Indiana's operation is a bit ruthless - direct legislation requires pensions to be allocated to Bitcoin ETFs. This may be the most radical attempt at state policy in the United States.
Looking at the data, Michigan's pension fund has bought $114 million in Bitcoin ETFs, and Wisconsin is even more aggressive, directly reaching 387 million. If other states follow suit, the top 10 pension funds alone could theoretically hit the market by more than $20 billion. This volume is no joke.
However, the key depends on whether the new federal 401(k) regulations in 2026 will be implemented. If this happens, it will be equivalent to upgrading from a state-level pilot to a national policy linkage. Now it is necessary to keep an eye on the legislative developments of each state and the changes in the data of net ETF inflows - these two indicators will directly reflect the effect of policy transmission.
In addition, if the self-custody rights clause is widely implemented, the threshold for retail investors to hold positions will be lowered a lot, and the liquidity of on-chain assets may also increase. This matter is worth continuing to observe.

$20 billion is pouring in. Can retail investors turn the tide? We'll have to see how 2026 plays out.

Damn, Indiana's move with this hand is really clever. Even pension funds have to allocate BTC... Are they planning to write FOMO for institutions into the law?

Holy shit, directly buying the dip on BTC with pension funds? Traditional finance is really about to get dragged in now.

Damn, Indiana is really going to take off
20 billion smashed in? Is there still a way for retail investors to survive?
If the new regulations in 2026 are to really be implemented, it will be a completely different order, and now they have to double

Damn, Yinzhou's handwriting is really dare, pensions have to be matched with BTC... If this is pushed out nationwide, will retail investors still have a way to survive?
