Digital currency is the most discussed alternative investment options over the past few years. The fact that allows instantaneous transactions and borderless transfer-of-ownership, make this option perfect for people that want to move around the world. Holding digital currency in a retirement account has been allowed since 2014. I believe that people with retirement account may account for a few percentage of the overall crypto-crowd.
Although this seems to be a good news (since could potentially push the price of all the cryptos to the moon), I would not put my tokens in a bank/institution (where they could be counted and taxed)!!!! (that would go against my main purpose of holding cryptos).
On August 31, Ripple announce is been accepted on [IRAs retirement accounts](https://bitcoinira.com) and in [self-directed IRAs](https://www.kingdomtrust.com/?utm_source=referral%20link&utm_medium=website%2FPR&utm_campaign=Ripple%20announcement)(although this last has not been updated on the web page).
Here I put the link for you to read. Please add to the common knowledge and spread the word!
Thanks!
