Colombia’s AFP Protección Plans Bitcoin Exposure Fund for Qualified Pension Clients

The optional product channels limited crypto exposure through one-on-one suitability reviews under new DIAN reporting rules.

Overview

  • President Juan David Correa confirmed the plan in an interview with Valora Analitik, describing Bitcoin access as tightly controlled.
  • Participation will be limited to clients who pass personalized advisory assessments and meet defined risk criteria.
  • The fund is pitched as a small, long-term diversification tool, with core pension portfolios remaining in bonds and equities.
  • The offering targets voluntary savers rather than mandatory pension accounts, with launch timing and allocation limits not yet disclosed.
  • Protección follows Skandia as the second major Colombian pension administrator to offer Bitcoin exposure, as DIAN’s OECD-aligned rules require crypto service providers to report user and transaction data.
