Hostplus, managing $105 billion for 2.2 million Australians, is developing cryptocurrency investment options through its ChoicePlus self-managed platform. This move responds to growing member demand for crypto exposure, including Bitcoin and other digital assets like tokenized music rights. The launch could happen in the next financial year but awaits regulatory approval to ensure investor protections. Meanwhile, many Australians are turning to self-managed super funds for crypto access, with registrations up 69% in 2024–2025 as mainstream funds lag behind.
