CMB International (CMBIAM), a subsidiary of China Merchants Bank, has decided to throw a $3.8 billion USD Money Market Fund into the digital cosmos-because why not? It’s now chilling on BNB Chain, where it will presumably sip existential tea with other institutional funds while occasionally fluctuating.
.
The fund now exists as tokens named CMBMINT and CMBIMINT-because nothing says “financial innovation” like a name that sounds like a typo. Supported by DigiFT (who probably thought they were distributing digital art) and OnChain (the tech wizards who make blockchain feel less like a black box and more like a slightly less mysterious black box).
Bloomberg ranked this fund #1 among its Asia-Pacific peers in October 2025. For context, that’s like being the most popular kid in a school where everyone else is still trying to figure out what a “peer” is. The fund primarily invests in USD-denominated short-term deposits and high-quality money market instruments-because nothing says “high quality” like a 24h volatility of 2.3%. 😅
Since its 2024 debut, the fund has maintained “consistent returns.” By which we mean it hasn’t exploded yet. According to the official announcement. Which was probably written by someone who still believes in hope. 🙃
CMB International, a subsidiary of China Merchants Bank, has launched its $3.8B Money Market Fund on BNB Chain, represented by the CMBMINT and CMBIMINT tokens.
Here’s why this matters, unless you’re a goldfish-then it doesn’t. 🧵👇
– BNB Chain (@BNBCHAIN) October 15, 2025
Through this partnership, accredited investors can now subscribe to the tokenized fund using fiat or stablecoins and redeem holdings in real-time. The process is managed by proprietary liquidity management smart contracts developed by DigiFT-because nothing says “trust” like a contract that’s literally code. 🤖
Adam Bai, Head of CMB International Asset Management, noted that leveraging BNB Chain’s robust infrastructure (which, honestly, is just a fancy way of saying “it works better than your average coffee table”) allows the firm to extend its money market strategies to a broader global investor base in a secure and compliant manner. By which he means “please don’t sue us.”
Similarly, BNB Chain’s Head of Business Development, Sarah, stated that the collaboration shows how regulated financial products can use the network’s scalability and ecosystem reach. A bold claim, considering the network’s ecosystem is still figuring out if “scalability” means “can handle more transactions” or “can handle more existential dread.”
The launch is part of a larger trend of traditional financial products moving on-chain. This follows other major institutions choosing BNB Chain for tokenization, including the asset manager behind the Franklin Templeton on BNB Chain platform. Because nothing unites finance and blockchain like a shared love of acronyms and confusion.
The network has also expanded into tokenized equities. In July, BNB Chain joined an alliance with Ondo’s RWA platform to broaden access to tokenized stocks and other real-world assets. Because nothing says “real-world” like a stock that’s been turned into a digital collectible. 🎲
The CMBMINT and CMBIMINT tokens are planned for integration with DeFi protocols, including Venus Protocol
and ListaDAO, where they can be used for collateralized lending and yield strategies. Because nothing says “financial stability” like collateralizing a token that’s already collateralizing something else. 🤯
This development comes as the broader ecosystem has taken steps to support users through market volatility. In response to recent market events, BNB Chain’s recent $45M airdrop was distributed to meme coin traders. Because nothing says “we care” like giving cash to people who trade based on TikTok dances. 🐸
In a separate action, Binance’s recovery initiative included a plan to distribute $300 million to traders impacted by record liquidations. Because nothing says “empathy” like handing out cash after you’ve already lost everything. 💸
The launch of the CMBIAM fund adds another regulated, high-value real-world asset to the BNB Chain. The collaboration expands on-chain access to an institutional-grade asset and sets the stage for new DeFi utility through the planned protocol integrations. Or, in layman’s terms: “We’re building a future where your money feels like it’s in a video game-and the rules change every Tuesday.” 🎮
