CMB International and BNB Chain announced a partnership to bring the $3.8 billion CMB International Money Market Fund to the blockchain.

CMB International announced a partnership with BNB Chain to further expand the on-chain distribution of CMB International’s USD Money Market Fund through CMBMINT and CMBIMINT tokens.

Through this initiative, CMB International and BNB Chain are leveraging one of the world’s leading blockchain ecosystems to expand access to institutional-grade real-world assets (RWAs) for qualified investors.

The distribution is supported by DigiFT, a licensed tokenized asset exchange, and OnChain, an on-chain capital market investment platform, for the issuance and management of CMBMINT and CMBIMINT tokens.

As of October 10, 2025, the fund ranked first in Bloomberg's Asia-Pacific performance ranking of similar products, with assets under management exceeding US$3.8 billion.

CMBMINT and CMBIMINT tokens (representing shares of the fund) are now deployed on BNB Chain, supporting subscription and real-time redemption in fiat currencies and stablecoins.

LuBian-related wallets transferred all 9,757 BTC worth $1.1 billion after three years of silence

According to Lookonchain, a LuBian wallet (39 DUz...bdNA) was activated after three years of inactivity, transferring all 9,757 BTC (worth $1.1 billion) to a new wallet. The move comes a day after news broke that the US government is seeking to confiscate 127,271 BTC (worth $14.4 billion) stolen from LuBian.

Analysis: The US government shutdown has pushed the world into a data blind spot, and global risks will surge over time

Adam Posen, president of the Desen Institute for International Economics and a former Bank of England policymaker, said the shutdown itself and the turmoil surrounding the Bureau of Labor Statistics “have heightened general doubts about U.S. governance and reliability… That’s important. It ultimately impacts reserve management and monetary policymaking, and it impacts the outlook for volatility in the U.S. that didn’t exist before.”

With major gaps in the flow of data covering about a quarter of global economic output, the outlook will become more uncertain the longer the shutdown lasts.

“Certainly, there is still a wealth of information out there, and policymakers are investing considerable effort in gathering microdata and anecdotal evidence on the U.S.,” said Robert Kahn, head of global macro at Eurasia Group. “But how best to integrate it all, and importantly, how markets will react to this news, are key unknowns. As time goes by, uncertainty accumulates and the risk of being wrong rises.”

Arkham analyst: The LuBian hack was likely orchestrated by the US government, potentially making the US the largest financial hacker in history

Arkham analyst Emmett Galic said there are increasing signs that the US government may have personally participated in or led the LuBian.com mining farm hack. If this speculation is true, it would make the US government "the largest financial hacker in history."

Crypto sleuth ZachXBT noted that these addresses were previously identified in a Milky Sad report two years ago, alleging a security vulnerability in their private keys.

YZi Labs leads $50 million funding round for Better Payment Network (BPN), a programmable payment network

YZi Labs has announced that it has led a $50 million funding round for the Better Payment Network (BPN), a programmable payment network. BPN is committed to building global settlement infrastructure for the multi-stablecoin era. Deployed natively on the BNB Chain, BPN utilizes a hybrid CeDeFi architecture to balance efficiency, programmability, and compliance.

Traditional fintech platforms rely on capital-intensive pre-funding models, leaving trillions of dollars idle in local accounts to maintain payment liquidity. BPN's CeDeFi dual-track system enables instant cross-jurisdictional settlement by minting, exchanging, and burning stablecoins in real time, freeing up locked-up funds.

Currently, BPN's CeFi model has provided services to enterprises and licensed payment institutions, supporting real-time exchange of major non-US dollar settlement channels (such as the Brazilian real stablecoin BBRL, the Nigerian naira stablecoin cNGN, the Mexican peso stablecoin MEXAS, and the euro stablecoin EURI); its DeFi model will be launched this year, and plans to support more than 20 regional stablecoins in Latin America, Africa and Asia, realizing truly borderless programmable capital flows.

The funds raised will be mainly used to provide an initial on-chain liquidity pool for the stablecoin exchange channel and establish a market-making ecosystem to ensure fair and efficient exchange rates and execution efficiency.

Rica Fu, founder of BPN, stated that the network aims to create an inclusive and efficient cross-border payment system, making stablecoins the unified standard for global trust and settlement. Dana H., venture partner at YZi Labs, commented that BPN, with its native on-chain design and intelligent market strategy, will promote the practical implementation of crypto payments and reshape the cross-border financial landscape.
