Coinbase, a leading <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/coinbase-integrates-lightning-network-for-improved-bitcoin-transactions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency exchange</a>, is gearing up to introduce a specialized service aimed at Australia’s self-managed pension sector, according to insights shared by John O’Loghlen, the Managing Director for the Asia-Pacific region at Coinbase, says Bloomberg.
The move comes as self-managed superannuation funds in <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/australia-braces-for-bitcoin-etf-boom-amidst-record-highs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Australia</a> have increasingly shown interest in cryptocurrencies since March 2019. Recent data from the Australian Taxation Office reveals that these funds have allocated nearly AU$1 billion ($664 million) towards digital assets, marking a significant surge from just AU$197 million recorded in December 2019.
The trend is influenced by various factors, including the anticipation surrounding the approval of spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States. John O’Loghlen, however, emphasized that Coinbase’s initiative is not intended to compete with ETF players but rather to provide a convenient avenue for individuals to enter the crypto market through their self-managed pension funds.
With momentum building in the crypto space globally, particularly with the approval of <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/bitcoin-whale-moves-494m-from-coinbase-amid-volatility-surge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> and Ethereum spot ETFs in the U.S., Australia may also see similar approvals in the near future, further fueling the interest in digital assets among pension investors.
