BNB Chain, a famous decentralized blockchain ecosystem, has partnered with CMB International, a famous investment bank based in Hong Kong. The partnership will give accredited investors access to regulated real world assets (RWA) through secure tokenization on-chain through a $3.8 billion money market fund. As the official press release of BNB Chain makes clear, this development combines traditional economic possibilities with DeFi. Therefore, this move will likely lead to further institution-wide blockchain integration.

BNB Chain and CMB International partner to offer prominent APAC money market funds on-chain
The cooperation between BNB Chain and CMB International is focused on launching the CMB International USD Money Market Fund on-chain. Each fund is considered number one among its peers within the Asia-Pacific region, according to Bloomberg rankings. In this regard, the company manages cumulative assets of over $3.8 billion. Since its establishment in 2024, the fund has invested over 70% of its $NAV in $USD-based deposits and has maintained stable returns.
Currently, with the launch of $CMBIMINT and $CMBINT digital tokens via the BNB chain, this partnership will allow investors to subscribe using stablecoins or fiat currencies. Additionally, you can also redeem your holdings in real-time using smart contracts. This step will be facilitated by OnChain and DigiFT, ensuring compliance and liquidity for accredited investors around the world. Additionally, BNB Chain’s scalability and reduced gas fees make it a natural foundation for institutional-level asset tokenization.
Bridging traditional finance and DeFi with $CMBIMINT and $CMBINT on BNB Chain
According to BNB Chain, the launch of a money market fund by CMB International highlights an important step towards integrating traditional finance into the blockchain space. Specifically, $CMBIMINT and $CMBINT tokens will be directly integrated into BNB Chain’s RWA ecosystem. Additionally, protocols such as ListaDAO and Venus Protocol support these tokens, enabling use cases such as yield farming, collateralized lending, and other DeFi strategies.
