Setting up a crypto SMSF account with Coinstash is simple. You can either create your account and upload the required documents yourself or book a one-on-one consultation with our SMSF specialists for personalised guidance.

We offer same-day crypto SMSF account setup with personalised, one-on-one onboarding consultations, so you can start investing in crypto without delay.

To create your crypto SMSF account, you'll need to provide at least the following information and documents: SMSF name; SMSF trust deed document; SMSF ABN; SMSF trustee information, including ACN and director/beneficial owner information if a corporate trustee; and standard personal verification documents.

No, you cannot use your individual Coinstash account for your Self-Managed Super Fund. Australian SMSF regulations require that SMSF assets are kept completely separate from personal assets. To ensure compliance, you’ll need to set up a dedicated SMSF account on Coinstash.

Investing in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and other digital assets through an SMSF is legal, provided that certain criteria are met. For example, cryptocurrencies investments must be allowed in the trust deed, be in accordance with the funds investment strategy, and adhere to the same regulatory requirements as other investments as specified in the superannuation and tax laws. We recommend consulting a registered financial professional before starting your SMSF crypto investment journey.

Self-Managed Super Funds need to comply with the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (Cth) (SIS Act) and Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Regulations 1994 (Cth) (SIS Regulations) as well as various other laws that may be applicable. Trustees are responsible for staying informed about any legal and regulatory changes and ensuring the fund remains compliant with all regulations.

The Sole Purpose Test requires that all Self-Managed Super Funds in Australia are used exclusively to provide retirement or death benefits for fund members. Investment decisions must benefit the fund directly, and no one—including trustees—can gain personal financial benefits from the fund’s money. This is a key legislative requirement for SMSFs, ensuring that funds are used solely for their intended purpose.

Self-Managed Super Funds are highly regulated in Australia. We recommend that you consult with a licensed financial professional for tailored personal advice before you begin your SMSF crypto journey with us. Please also check the Australian Taxation Office and Business.gov websites for the latest information on SMSFs. For risks associated with trading crypto on Coinstash’s platform, please refer to our Risk Disclosure Statement.

Yes, you can hold your SMSF’s crypto assets in cold storage, provided it meets the ATO’s requirements for SMSF asset ownership and security. The wallet must be owned and controlled by the SMSF, not by individual members or trustees personally. You should ensure: - The wallet is set up in the name of the SMSF. - The private keys are securely stored and controlled according to the fund’s investment strategy. - Proper records and audit trails are maintained to show that the assets belong to the SMSF. Always seek independent professional advice to make sure your storage method complies with SMSF rules and your fund’s investment strategy.
