OKX Targets Australia's $1T SMSF Market with Crypto Platform Launch
Sydney, Australia, 15 September, 2025 -- Global onchain technology company OKX has today launched a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) expansion on its crypto platform in Australia, enabling both individual and corporate SMSF trustees to integrate digital assets into their portfolios.
OKX’s platform is purpose-built for SMSFs, providing secure infrastructure for trustees to buy, manage and report on digital assets. The platform 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.
OKX provides platform onboarding and local customer support for SMSF trustees, delivered by a dedicated Australian team. From initial setup and verification to documentation checks and SMSF bank account linking, customer support is available via phone, email or live chat.
Digital assets are the nation's fastest-growing superannuation segment, increasing 746% from March 2020 through March 2025. Nearly 28% of Australia’s retirement savings flow through SMSFs, roughly a quarter of Australia’s $4 trillion superannuation system.
Kate Cooper, CEO of OKX Australia, 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."
The platform offers institutional-grade crypto custody, multi-signature security, and monthly proof-of-reserves reporting covering 22 highly traded assets.
Cooper said 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. Australian SMSF trustees manage more money than most sovereign wealth funds. They deserve enterprise-level solutions,” she added.
The launch follows the establishment of the SMSF Innovation Council, an industry-led forum focussed on knowledge-sharing and responsible discussion of digital assets among superannuation professionals.
Trustees can access the platform at okx.com/campaigns/smsf, with both self-service onboarding and consultation options available.
