Coinbase's Australian unit has launched a cryptocurrency investment support service for investors in self-managed super funds (SMSFs), The Block reported on Monday.

John O'Loghlen (존 오로글렌), Coinbase's Asia-Pacific head, and executive Pete Patanapanlert (피트 파타나판러트) said in a blog post that the service provides a data download function aligned with local accounting standards and a corporate verification process tailored to domestic fund structures for SMSF investors.

SMSFs are private retirement pensions regulated by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), in which individuals directly manage their investment assets. They can invest in a range of assets, including stocks, real estate and cryptocurrencies. As of end-2025, more than 664,000 SMSFs were set up in Australia, with total assets under management of about A$1.06 trillion ($758.2 billion).

O'Loghlen said, "As regulatory clarity increases in Australia and institutions' adoption of digital assets grows, we see SMSFs as a key area of growth in Australia."

Coinbase obtained an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) last month. OKX also launched a similar SMSF support service last year. In the United States, in August last year, President Donald Trump signed an executive order allowing cryptocurrencies to be included in 401(k) retirement plans.
