CFB Talks Digital Assets Episode 30: Inside 3 Comma Capital's Global Crypto Fund, with Nuno Serafim
For the latest episode of CFB Talks Digital Assets we sat down with Nuno Serafim, Managing Partner at Lisbon-based 3 Comma Capital, who recently launched their Global Crypto Fund, deploying our regulated CF Ultra Cap 5 EUR index as its benchmark.
It was a rare opportunity to look over the shoulder of and hear granular insights from a veteran portfolio manager of traditional assets, who's made the transition to crypto investment management.
Listen in to hear the thinking behind the fund's objectives - and perhaps prepare to be surprised by the classic 'cautious' investment style underlying its structure and allocation strategy!
A few of the hot topics we covered:
- The unique digital asset characteristics offering enhanced risk-adjusted returns relative to traditional assets, sealing the decision to go for alpha generation instead of beta replication
- Why a 25% max allocation within the UC5 EUR universe is optimal
- How Global Crypto's UC5 benchmark sets it on a course to follow crypto's 'quality factor'
- How 3 Comma Group's unique vantage point in VC, as an innovation hub and in blockchain intelligence provides the Global Crypto fund with a sustainable edge.

Risk-On Reloaded: Monetary Easing, Catch-up Trades, and the Tokenization Buildout
Crypto markets are entering a transformative phase in 2026, where regulatory clarity and monetary easing outweigh macro uncertainty. We expect a dovish Fed pivot counter to consensus, fostering lower real yields. Meanwhile, the CLARITY Act and broader adoption should drive our secular themes.
