Australian Pension Fund Hostplus Considers Offering Bitcoin

Hostplus, an Australian pension fund managing over A$150 billion, is exploring the possibility of offering Bitcoin and other digital assets through its Choiceplus option. According to NS3.AI, Chief Investment Officer Sam Sicilia indicated that the product might be available as early as the next financial year, contingent upon regulatory approval and resolution of consumer protection concerns. This move is notable as Australia's major pension funds have generally steered clear of cryptocurrency investments.
