On the first day of the launch of CMB International Securities' virtual asset trading service, Bitcoin purchases surged by 40%, and traditional finance channels officially opened to cryptocurrencies.
Last night, a thunderclap echoed in Hong Kong's financial circle! CMB International Securities officially launched virtual asset trading functions, becoming the first licensed Chinese brokerage firm to enter the crypto battlefield in Hong Kong. Qualified investors can trade BTC, ETH, and USDT 24/7 through a mobile APP.
This is not just a simple action of license upgrading—it is backed by the RWA nuclear bomb that CMB International just detonated on the Solana blockchain three days ago: The tokenized fund CMBMINT triggered a 15% surge in SOL within 24 hours, breaking through the $200 mark!
The regular army of Chinese banks strikes twice, and the crypto world is about to change!
One, CMB's "double cannon": A deadly combination of trading license + tokenized fund
On July 11, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission nodded for license upgrades, just 38 days later, CMB International Securities swiftly launched virtual asset trading services. But this is just the first move of a chain reaction—the real killer is hidden on the Solana chain:
The world's first Solana public fund token CMBMINT, issued by CMB International in collaboration with Singapore compliance platform DigiFT and technology vendor OnChain, anchored to a 4% annualized yield dollar money market fund
Using the "transfer hook + dual redemption mechanism" technical solution, a net inflow of $2 million in a single day still maintains a 0.1% price anchoring error, outperforming similar DeFi projects
On the launch day, SOL surged by 15%, and institutions flocked to the Solana ecosystem.
The compliance ammunition of traditional finance is blasting open the doors to the crypto world through blockchain technology!
Two, entry of Chinese institutions: The floodgates for billions in funds have opened
CMB International is by no means an ordinary player—behind it stands China Merchants Bank with total assets of HKD 80.8 billion, a net profit exceeding HKD 1.3 billion in 2024, managing an asset scale of HKD 130 billion. This move signifies
Bank-level funds are about to flood in: Qualified investors (high-net-worth individuals/institutions) can allocate BTC and ETH through compliant channels, without detouring through gray OTC
Accelerating RWA asset onboarding: CMBMINT supports multi-chain deployment (Solana/Ethereum/Arbitrum) and fiat direct charging, bridging the gap between traditional funds and on-chain assets
Demonstration effect triggers a following wave: Chinese brokers stationed in Hong Kong such as ICBC, China Construction Bank, and Bank of China have been licensed but are waiting and watching, while tech giants like Ant Group and JD.com may accelerate their entry.
"This is irrefutable evidence of the internet capital market happening within the Solana ecosystem!"

Three, the rise of Hong Kong: The international virtual asset center has pressed the fast-forward button
Every step of CMB International precisely aligns with Hong Kong's policy rhythm:
License approval response in July (Hong Kong Digital Asset Development Policy Declaration 2.0), opening the global fund entry channel to Hong Kong
CMBMINT fund tokens have received dual regulatory backing from Hong Kong and Singapore, establishing a gold standard for RWA projects
The average daily trading volume of exchanges like XBIT surged by 45%, on-chain compliant assets are becoming the new traffic entry point.
When traditional funds raise capital globally through tokenization, Hong Kong has quietly taken the throne as Asia's crypto settlement hub!
Four, RWA sector nuclear explosion: 4% yield tokens are just the beginning
The terrifying aspect of CMBMINT lies in its ability to open up a trillion-dollar market gap:
Underlying assets are the number one ranked money market fund in Asia-Pacific (2024.2-2025.7)
Technology adopting Solana Token-2022 and SPL dual architecture, trading speed increased by 30%
Real-time redemption mechanism + tiered liquidity design, becoming an institutional-level RWA template.
Will real estate be the next to go on-chain? Bonds? CMB has given a standard answer!
Five, Solana's gamble: Ecological explosion backed by Chinese capital
Choosing Solana as the launch chain, CMB hits three major targets in one shot:
Technical adaptability: SPL standards enable efficient on-chain settlement, perfectly supporting high-frequency fund trading
Regulatory affinity: Compliance framework recognized by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, seamlessly connecting with traditional finance
Ecosystem expansion ambition: CMB's tokenization provides an epic case for Solana's "Internet capital market" vision.
SOL breaking $200 is just the starting point—when more Chinese funds replicate this path, Solana will become the main battlefield for RWA assets!
Market impact simulation: Three giant waves coming
The first wave (immediate response): BTC and ETH receive institutional buying support, SOL hits $250 (RWA concept leader)
The second wave (3-6 months): Licensed brokers like CMB International and ICBC International collectively launch virtual asset trading, with billions of incremental funds entering the market
The third wave (more than 1 year): Large-scale tokenization of stocks, bonds, and real estate, RWA market value surpassing trillions, traditional finance and the crypto world completing integration.
The moment the CMB International APP lights up the BTC trading button, the old financial order has declared its death.
In this revolution, grassroots and giants are standing on the same starting line for the first time.
