Company overview

We’re bridging the gap between conventional finance and Web3 to provide investors with new outlooks and opportunities.

Founded in 2021, JellyC is an Australasian digital asset investment manager at the forefront of integrating digital currencies into traditional investment portfolios.

Operating as a Corporate Authorised Representative under an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL), JellyC provides secure access, expert management, and diversified exposure to the cryptocurrency market.

JellyC's suite of bespoke investment products includes The Bluebottle Multi-Strategy Fund (BMSF), The Bluebottle Digital Infrastructure Fund (BDIF), The Bluebottle Market Neutral Fund (BMNF), and The Bluebottle Bitcoin Plus Fund (BBP). Designed for sophisticated and institutional investors the funds open up opportunities to gain exposure to the digital assets class through traditional regulated investment vehicles, eliminating the barriers to entry that often accompany direct investments in digital assets.
