Analysts at Bernstein and Citigroup said the selloff may have overshot, noting the bill does not restrict reserve income earned by issuers like Circle.

  • Fact Check: Trump Overstates 401(k) Gains During Second Term
    June 25, 2026, 7:51 PM EDT. President Donald Trump claimed typical 401(k) balances rose nearly $30,000 in 13 months during his second term, a figure that PolitiFact and Fidelity Investments data dispute. Analysis shows the average gain in 401(k) balances was about $9,454, roughly one-third of Trump's assertion. The S&P 500 index, a broad stock market measure, increased approximately 24% from January 2025 to June 2026. While stock markets hit all-time highs, retirement savings growth is more moderate. Experts note 401(k) gains depend on factors like age and account size, with the highest average increase around $16,000 for holders aged 55-59. Trump provided no evidence to back his larger claim, and increased early 401(k) withdrawals for hardship relief also impact balances.
