🇨🇴 BREAKING: Colombia's $55B Pension Giant Adds Bitcoin

AFP Protección, Colombia's 2nd largest pension fund manager, is launching a Bitcoin exposure fund for its 8.5 million clients.

Key Details:

→ Investors must pass a personalized risk assessment before gaining access

→ $BTC allocation will be limited and controlled (likely 2-3% of portfolio)

→ Focus is on long-term diversification, NOT speculation

→ Core pensions remain in traditional assets (bonds, stocks)

Why It Matters:

President Juan David Correa confirmed this isn't about chasing hype. It's about giving qualified investors a small, managed slice of Bitcoin within a diversified strategy.

Protección follows Skandia, which launched Colombia's first pension Bitcoin portfolio in November 2024 and has seen 59% annual returns since.

The Bigger Picture:

Latin America is quietly opening institutional doors to crypto. Colombia now has TWO major pension funds offering BTC exposure through regulated channels.

This mirrors the global trend where U.S. pension funds (Wisconsin, Michigan, CalSTRS) are also adding Bitcoin via ETFs.

Institutional adoption continues.
