JellyC, OKX, and Franklin Templeton to create institutional investment opportunities leveraging Standard Chartered's Custodianship
Combining JellyC’s investment management track record, OKX’s technology and liquidity, and Standard Chartered’s asset custodianship, the collaboration delivers an enhanced way for institutional traders to access secure markets
In collaboration with Franklin Templeton, the programme will enable crypto and tokenised money market funds as collateral.
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – July 29, 2025 – JellyC, a leading digital asset investment manager, today announced a strategic relationship to join a recently launched tripartite collateral programme with OKX, a leading cryptocurrency exchange and onchain technology company, and Standard Chartered, a leading international banking group. JellyC has selected Franklin Templeton’s Tokenised Money Market Fund (TMMF) as its preferred trading collateral.
The collaboration allows JellyC to utilise cryptocurrencies and Franklin Templeton's tokenised money market funds as off-exchange collateral for trading on OKX while using Standard Chartered, a Globally Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB), as the custodian for their collateral. This initiative significantly enhances security and capital efficiency for JellyC, while maintaining the highest standards of security.
JellyC offers a range of funds for investors, including:
Bluebottle Bitcoin Plus Fund - provides secure exposure to a core Bitcoin position, enhanced by active market-neutral strategies.
Bluebottle Market Neutral Fund - an investment fund that generates income by investing in a mix of market-neutral blockchain strategies and tokenised deposits, money market funds, bills, and bonds.
Bluebottle Digital Infrastructure Fund - an Australian Unit Trust offering wholesale investors access to premium blockchain networks whilst generating a compounding yield from staking.
Bluebottle Multi-Strategy Fund - gives investors exposure to a diversified array of digital strategies with a focus on long term investment. The Fund invests in early stage projects as well as active strategies like staking, validation, basis & arbitrage.
Franklin Templeton, a recognised leader in tokenisation and real-world assets (RWA), continues to innovate by leveraging blockchain technology to deliver cutting-edge solutions to customers and clients. Through this collaboration, JellyC will gain access to on-chain assets developed by Franklin Templeton’s Digital Assets Team, seamlessly integrating them into their financial and operational structures.
Michael Prendiville, CEO of JellyC, said: “Franklin Templeton’s natively minted on-chain TMMF provides legal certainty of fund ownership in real time, 24/7/365, and airdrops dailly as new tokens. Marrying the Franklin TMMF with the Standard Chartered-OKX tripartite collateral structure elevates safety and soundness to a level akin to traditional finance, making this fit for purpose in a digital world. We have a solution suitable for the wealth and funds management sector as well as the Superannuation industry in Australia. We are witnessing an increasing institutional demand for digital asset trading solutions that leverage established banking infrastructure, ensuring secure and compliant capital deployment in crypto markets.”
OKX Australia CEO Kate Cooper said: "Institutional traders seeking exposure to crypto markets have historically faced a challenging trade-off between market access and asset security. Through collaboration with world-class partners, we've built the infrastructure that institutions have been waiting for - combining deep liquidity with institutional-grade custody and compliance. JellyC joining the tripartite programme validates our approach to solving the key barriers to institutional crypto adoption. This is just the beginning of what we expect to be significant institutional momentum in the Australian market."
