State-Backed Chinese Firm CMBI Tokenizes Its Top-Ranked USD Fund on Solana

Hong Kong-based CMB International Asset Management Limited has collaborated with DigiFT to tokenize the CMB International USD Money Market Fund. This is a major move, as CMBI is a state-backed Chinese entity, signaling a serious push into the world of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs).

In a recent , the asset manager noted that DigiFT leveraged the mutual recognition of the Fund in both Hong Kong and Singapore, and issued a token product linked to the performance of the CMB International USD Money Market Fund.

The new tokenized product is linked directly to the performance of the CMB International USD Money Market Fund and is being issued with support from both DigiFT and OnChain, an RWA service provider on Solana.

For now, the tokenized fund will be offered exclusively to accredited investors in Singapore via the DigiFT platform. This isn’t just any fund. According to Bloomberg data from July 31, 2025, the CMB International USD Money Market Fund has ranked first among its peers since its launch in February 2024.

Meanwhile, the token product spans across multiple jurisdictions and is the first to do so, while achieving multi-chain deployment and distribution on the DigiFT platform.

What makes this tokenized fund stand out is its groundbreaking structure. It is the first to be deployed across four major blockchains: Solana, Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Plume. It also marks the first time a token linked to a public money market fund has been launched on the Solana blockchain.

The big picture.

In the meantime, CMBI Asset Management claims to have addressed these challenges by implementing a distributor-led, first-of-its-kind multi-chain distribution architecture. The firm noted that it has opened funding channels via innovative multi-modal subscription and redemption mechanisms, bridged regulatory gaps with a dual-licensed fund structure, and activated the market with advanced liquidity mechanisms.
