Introducing Our SMSF-Compatible Crypto Platform for Retirement Planning in Australia

By Kate Cooper, OKX Australia CEO

Today, I'm proud to share a game-changer for the Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) community: a secure crypto platform designed with trustees in mind, plus the professionals who support them. This project is our solution for the trustees, accountants and administrators who kept telling us that accessing digital assets within SMSFs has, until now, been way harder than it needs to be.

Here’s the hard truth: many crypto trading platforms just aren’t designed for SMSFs. It can be painful to link SMSF bank accounts, set up fund structures or generate the right reports for year-end compliance and audits. All too often, trustees are left to cobble solutions together through spreadsheets, generic portals, or, worse, offshore support that doesn’t understand how SMSFs actually work. It turns what should be a considered investment decision into a compliance headache and a support nightmare.

With our SMSF-compatible platform, trustees and service providers can access something purpose-built for their needs. Tools to buy, manage and report on digital assets are available in one secure, AUSTRAC-registered platform.

You can open an account in minutes, enjoy institutional-grade crypto custody and Proof of Reserves, generate automated, exportable EOFY reports for auditors and accountants, and access real-time dashboards for portfolio monitoring and transaction history. Local onboarding specialists are here to assist you step by step - with bespoke, human support always available by phone, email, or live chat - should you have any queries about onboarding or platform navigation.

With OKX, SMSF trustees can access infrastructure that supports compliance, transparency, and local help. Our aim is to make engaging with digital assets through an SMSF more straightforward, with robust infrastructure and dedicated local support. I’m proud to be part of this next chapter, and to stand with every trustee and professional ready to build the future securely and confidently.
