CMB International and BNB Chain Bring $3.8B Money Market Fund OnChain, Supported by DigiFT

A top-performing institutional fund from CMB International goes on-chain via BNB Chain, broadening access to regulated real-world assets (RWAs), supported by DigiFT and OnChain.

BNB Chain has partnered with CMB International Asset Management Limited (CMBIAM), a wholly owned subsidiary of China Merchants Bank, to bring one of Asia-Pacific’s top-performing money market funds the CMB International USD Money Market Fund onchain through the CMBMINT and CMBIMINT tokens, supported by DigiFT and OnChain.

This collaboration marks a major milestone in bringing regulated, institutional-grade real-world assets (RWAs) to one of the world’s most active blockchain ecosystems. By expanding onchain distribution, CMB International and BNB Chain are providing Accredited Investors with direct, blockchain-based access to a top-performing fund with over $3.8 billion AUM.

Bringing a $3.8B Money Market Fund to Web3

As of Oct 2025, the Fund ranked #1 among Asia-Pacific peers in Bloomberg’s performance ranking, managing over USD 3.8 billion in assets. 

Since inception in 2024, the fund has maintained consistent returns by investing primarily (no less than 70% of NAV) in USD-denominated short-term deposits and high-quality money market instruments issued by governments, quasi-government entities, international organizations, and top financial institutions.

Now, through the CMBMINT and CMBIMINT tokens now deployed on BNB Chain, investors can subscribe using fiat or stablecoins, and redeem their holdings in real time via DigiFT’s proprietary liquidity management smart contracts.

Empowering Institutional-Grade Access Through Blockchain

“Since the launch of the CMB International USD Money Market Fund, we’ve seen strong and steady growth driven by outstanding performance, disciplined execution, prudent risk management, and investor trust,” said Adam Bai, Head of CMB International Asset Management. “By leveraging BNB Chain’s robust blockchain infrastructure—and working with trusted partners DigiFT and OnChain—we can securely and compliantly extend our money market strategies to a broader global investor base.”

BNB Chain’s scalability, low gas costs, and active DeFi ecosystem make it a powerful foundation for regulated asset tokenization.

“We’re thrilled to see one of Asia-Pacific’s top-ranking money market funds launch on BNB Chain,” said Sarah, Head of Business Development at BNB Chain. “This collaboration not only shows how regulated financial products can leverage BNB Chain’s scalability and ecosystem reach, but also represents another milestone in our RWA journey—reinforcing BNB Chain’s vision to become the tokenization layer for all assets.”

The Expanding BNB Chain RWA Landscape

Beyond token issuance, the CMBMINT and CMBIMINT tokens will be supported by a growing RWA ecosystem, including protocols Venus Protocol and ListaDAO, and infrastructure provider OnChain—enabling investors to use the tokens across multiple DeFi applications such as collateralized lending and yield strategies.

BNB Chain’s RWA ecosystem continues to grow, uniting traditional financial institutions, tokenization platforms, and DeFi protocols to bring real-world assets on-chain with security and utility.

Key participants include:

• Issuance & Tokenization: Franklin Templeton, Ondo, Securitize, Backed, OpenEden, Asseto.
• Financial Assets: USYC(Circle),VBill, Benji, Cash+.
• DeFi Utility: Venus Protocol, ListaDAO, and PancakeSwap enabling RWA-backed swapping, borrowing, staking, and yield.
• Infra: Ceffu, Chainlink, APRO, and other regulated service providers building compliant access rails for institutions.

Together, these partners form a multi-layer RWA infrastructure—from issuance and liquidity to yield generation and real-world integration—positioning BNB Chain as the tokenization layer for all assets in the next phase of decentralized finance.
