Digital assets are the nation's fastest-growing superannuation segment, OKX noted, having increased 746 per cent from March 2020 through March 2025. Moreover, it added, nearly 28 per cent of Australia’s retirement savings flow through SMSFs, roughly a quarter of Australia’s $4 trillion superannuation system.
The platform, OKX said, is purpose-built for SMSFs, providing secure infrastructure for trustees to buy, manage and report on digital assets, and includes intuitive dashboards for transaction and portfolio monitoring, exportable end-of-financial-year reports, and AUSTRAC-registered digital currency exchange services across major assets, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Speaking about the platform expansion, OKX Australia chief executive Kate Cooper (pictured) said: “Trustees have been crying out for institutional-grade infrastructure that doesn’t compromise on compliance or security.”
“That’s exactly what we’ve built.”
“The stats show a significant increase in digital asset allocations, which is why OKX has decided to launch an SMSF platform with infrastructure and reporting tools that trustees can use.”
“Our commitment is to deliver a truly comprehensive, compliance-focused solution – giving trustees confidence, transparency, and local support to engage with digital assets, should they choose to do so as part of their investment strategy.”
Cooper went on to say that OKX consulted “extensively” with trustees and industry professionals during development, identifying regulatory uncertainty and operational complexity as key barriers to crypto adoption in the SMSF space.
“This isn’t about chasing a trend, it’s about providing serious infrastructure for SMSF trustees choosing to include digital assets in their portfolios,” she said.
“Australian SMSF trustees manage more money than most sovereign wealth funds. They deserve enterprise-level solutions.”
