TechFlame reports that Australia's 4.3 trillion Australian dollar (roughly $2.8 trillion) pension system — long regarded as one of the most well-regulated savings pools in the world — is becoming a new frontier for cryptocurrency entry. Coinbase and OKX have successively launched cryptocurrency investment products for pensions, indicating that digital assets are further penetrating into the mainstream financial system. Its initial focus was self-managed pension funds (SMSF) — funds managed independently by investors already account for a quarter of the Australian pension market. Unlike mainstream pensions, which generally avoid cryptocurrency assets, SMSF gives individuals full investment autonomy. An Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) spokesperson said, “These products are extremely volatile, and excessive exposure could result in significant losses.” The agency also suggests that consumers should seek professional advice from an accountant or financial advisor before establishing an SMSF. It emphasized: “We remind those considering setting up an SMSF that the core goal of the pension system is to preserve and increase value, and ultimately provide individuals with the income they need for a decent retirement.” (Zhitong Finance)
