BNB Chain, the well-known decentralized blockchain ecosystem, has partnered with CMB International, a Hong Kong-based renowned investment bank. The partnership will give accredited investors access to regulated real-world assets (RWAs) through secure on-chain tokenization through a $3.8 billion money market fund. As BNB Chain’s official press release shows, the development combines conventional financial potential with DeFi. Therefore, this move is expected to lead to additional blockchain integrations on an institutional scale.

BNB Chain and CMB International will collaborate to offer prominent APAC money market fund On-Chain
The collaboration between BNB Chain and CMB International aims to launch the CMB International USD Money Market Fund on-chain. The fund in question is considered to rank first among its peers in the Asia-Pacific region, in line with Bloomberg rankings. In this regard, it manages more than $3.8 billion in cumulative assets. Since the fund emerged in 2024, it has posted steady gains thanks to investing more than 70% of its net asset value in $USD-dominated deposits.
Currently, with the launch of $CMBIMINT and $CMBMINT digital tokens via BNB Chain, the partnership allows investors to subscribe using stablecoins or fiat. Moreover, they can also exchange their holdings in real time using smart contracts. The procedure is powered by OnChain and DigiFT and guarantees compliance and liquidity for authorized investors worldwide. Furthermore, BNB Chain’s scalability and lower gas costs make it a natural foundation for the tokenization of assets at the institutional level.
Bridging conventional finance and DeFi with $CMBIMINT and $CMBMINT on BNB Chain
According to BNB Chain, the launch of the Money Market Fund by CMB International highlights an important step towards the integration of conventional finance into the blockchain sector. Specifically, the $CMBIMINT and $CMBMINT tokens will be directly integrated into BNB Chain’s RWA ecosystem. Moreover, the protocols such as ListaDAO and Venus Protocol will support these tokens, enabling use cases such as yield farming, collateralized lending, and the rest of the DeFi strategies.
