Hostplus, one of Australia's largest pension funds, managing assets worth approximately 16 trillion yen, is exploring the possibility of offering its members investment options in cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin. This initiative is subject to the approval of regulatory authorities, and the fund aims to launch these options as early as the next fiscal year if approval is granted.
