Australian pension fund Hostplus is considering opening cryptocurrency investments to its members

One of Australia's largest pension funds, Hostplus, is considering incorporating cryptocurrency into its investment options. Hostplus manages assets exceeding AUD 150 billion (approximately USD 105 billion), and its Chief Investment Officer, Sam Sicilia, stated that the fund is exploring ways to provide members with exposure to Bitcoin and other digital assets through its Choiceplus investment option.

Choiceplus allows members to manage their retirement savings portfolios independently, and currently, assets under this option account for about 1% of the fund's total size.
