Institutional-grade fund meets blockchain efficiency
This partnership marks a major step in integrating regulated, institutional-grade real-world assets (RWAs) into the blockchain ecosystem. Accredited investors can now subscribe to and redeem fund holdings directly on BNB Chain, using fiat or stablecoins, through DigiFT’s liquidity management smart contracts.
Launched in 2024, the CMB International USD Money Market Fund has consistently ranked as a top performer in the region. According to Bloomberg, it currently holds the #1 position among Asia-Pacific peers. The fund invests primarily in USD-denominated short-term deposits and high-quality money market instruments issued by governments, international organizations, and major financial institutions—maintaining a conservative yet high-performing portfolio.
Adam Bai, Head of CMB International Asset Management, said the move builds on strong investor trust and disciplined management. “By leveraging BNB Chain’s infrastructure, we can securely extend our money market strategies to a broader global investor base,” he said.
Expanding BNB Chain’s real-world asset ecosystem
The CMBMINT and CMBIMINT tokens add to BNB Chain’s rapidly expanding RWA ecosystem, which integrates tokenized assets with decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. These tokens can be used across platforms like Venus Protocol and ListaDAO for lending, staking, and yield generation.
BNB Chain continues to position itself as a leading hub for asset tokenization, supported by major players including Franklin Templeton, Securitize, Ondo, and Chainlink. The collaboration with CMBIAM reinforces its ambition to become the “tokenization layer” for institutional finance.
The move also coincides with a broader market trend — altcoin ecosystems like BNB Chain, Solana, and Avalanche have all recorded sharp increases in trading activity and total value locked (TVL) in Q3 2025, reflecting the ongoing expansion of tokenized finance beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
