FCBF Fund New Applicants And Investments
Currently, the new fund is accepting global investments across the AUD, USD, RMB, and of course Bitcoin (BTC).

Indeed, a steadfast growth in popularity for Bitcoin has helped fuel such investments across services and technology realms, having now taken hold in Australia.
According to Arians in an accompanying statement, “the concept of a global crypto-currency is probably the most disruptive innovation I have seen in the last 10 years. I believe that Bitcoins will change the way we live, travel and do business. We are already actively participating in the evolving Bitcoin space and we see it is at an inflection point and ready for seasoned investors to assist in bringing financial and entrepreneurial experience to this market.”
