Forecast Trend Report by Period
Colombia’s largest pension fund has launched a product offering indirect exposure to Bitcoin, joining a broader push by institutional investors into the asset class.
Wu Blockchain reported on April 27 that Colombian pension manager Porvenir introduced a digital-asset portfolio using BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund, the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT).
The product is available to holders of voluntary pension accounts, with a minimum investment of 100,000 Colombian pesos, or about $25. Investors must complete a risk-profile assessment before participating.
The offering is designed to provide indirect Bitcoin exposure through an ETF rather than direct ownership of crypto assets.
Other Colombian pension managers, including Protección and Skandia, have also introduced similar products. Local pension funds are increasingly using Bitcoin as a tool for long-term portfolio diversification.
