8. SMSF Trustees: Individual vs Corporate for Holding Crypto
When you set up an SMSF, one of the earliest and most important choices you’ll make is the trustee structure. Do you appoint the members themselves as individual trustees, or do you create a company to act as the corporate trustee?
On paper, this sounds like legal housekeeping. In practice, it shapes how your fund operates, how auditors and regulators view your setup, and how painful (or painless) things can get if members join, leave, or pass away. For SMSFs with crypto assets, the choice is even more significant. Why? Because custody, wallet ownership, and account verification are far more complex than holding listed shares or cash.
