  Yes, it is possible to use your 401k to invest in digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. However, not all 401k plans offer this option. You will need to check with your plan administrator or custodian to see if they allow for self-directed investments. If they do, you can rollover your 401k into a self-directed IRA and then use that IRA to invest in cryptocurrencies. Keep in mind that there may be additional fees and restrictions associated with self-directed IRAs, so it's important to do your research and consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
