Australia's A$4.3 trillion retirement system is increasingly integrating cryptocurrency, with major exchanges like Coinbase and OKX now targeting Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSFs). These funds, which make up a quarter of the country's retirement market, are at the forefront of this shift.
The amount of cryptocurrency held in SMSFs has grown by seven times since 2021, now totaling A$1.7 billion. This growing trend is likely to drive faster regulatory action and could encourage larger, traditional superannuation funds to also consider direct exposure to crypto. This development signals a broader integration of digital assets into mainstream finance.
