This move aims to link traditional finance with blockchain and make institutional funds more accessible to investors.
$3.8B Fund Goes Onchain
Through this partnership, the CMB International USD Money Market Fund will now be available on blockchain via the CMBMINT and CMBIMINT tokens, with support from DigiFT and OnChain.
This partnership is a key step in bringing regulated, institutional-grade real-world assets (RWAs) to a leading blockchain network. Investors can access a top-performing fund with over $3.8 billion AUM directly onchain.

According to Bloomberg’s performance rankings, as of October 2025, this fund is the top performer in the Asia-Pacific region.
Since its launch, the fund has delivered steady returns by keeping most of its investments (no less than 70% of NAV) in safe, short-term USD deposits and high-quality money market instruments from governments, international organizations, and leading financial institutions.
Instant Onchain Access for Investors
Now with the CMBMINT and CMBIMINT tokens on BNB Chain, investors can easily buy the fund using fiat or stablecoins and redeem their holdings instantly, via DigiFT’s proprietary liquidity management smart contracts.
Adam Bai, Head of CMB International Asset Management, highlighted that the fund has delivered strong, steady growth thanks to its performance, disciplined approach, risk management, and investor trust. And now by using BNB Chain and partnering with DigiFT and OnChain, the fund can safely and compliantly reach more investors worldwide.
BNB Chain’s fast, low-cost, and thriving DeFi network makes it a perfect foundation for bringing regulated assets onto the blockchain.
Expanding RWA Ecosystem on BNB Chain
Beyond token issuance, the CMBMINT and CMBIMINT tokens will be supported by a growing RWA ecosystem including Venus Protocol, ListaDAO, and infrastructure provider OnChain. This setup allows investors to utilize the tokens in various DeFi applications, such as collateralized lending and yield strategies.
BNB Chain’s RWA ecosystem continues to expand, connecting traditional finance, tokenization platforms, and DeFi to bring real-world assets onchain securely and efficiently.
Hong Kong’s Growing Focus on Digital Assets
This comes after China’s securities regulator recently advised some local brokerages to pause their RWA tokenization projects in Hong Kong, citing concerns over the fast-growing offshore digital assets market, Reuters reported.
Over the past year, Hong Kong has been positioning itself as a digital assets hub. Hong Kong’s regulators are also reviewing RWA tokenization rules. Its new stablecoin regime has also sparked widespread interest, with 77 firms seeking licenses as of August 31.
As Hong Kong embraces digital assets, these moves highlight the global trend of tokenizing traditional financial products and linking traditional and digital finance.
