In einem Interview with Financial Times, OTPP Chief Executive Jo Taylor expressed the pension fund’s reluctance to dive into another crypto investment.

Taylor explained that the fund is still coming to terms with the FTX debacle and would proceed with extreme caution before investing in emerging assets like digital currencies. When asked about the investment in FTX, Taylor noted:

The decision is not surprising as the pension fund is responsible for providing pensions to over 330,000 teachers and school workers.
