DigiFT, SBI Launch JX Token; Demonstrate JPYSC-Powered Settlement for Tokenized Securities
DigiFT and SBI Global Asset Management have launched the JX token, marking the first time a Japanese asset manager has brought a listed-equity strategy onchain. The token provides regulated access to the SBI Japan High Dividend Equity Fund, which manages over ¥200 billion in assets. Beyond the product launch, SBI Group, DigiFT, and Startale Group successfully demonstrated the use of the JPYSC stablecoin to power the full lifecycle of tokenized securities, including instant settlement and automated dividend distribution. This development is significant because it moves tokenization beyond simple cash-like instruments into the complex realm of actively managed public equities. By utilizing JPYSC, the project addresses the critical bottleneck of traditional settlement cycles and manual income processing that has historically hindered market modernization. The collaboration leverages DigiFT’s multi-jurisdictional regulatory licenses and SBI’s extensive financial infrastructure to create a compliant, institutional-grade ecosystem. This initiative aligns with Japan's broader push to modernize capital markets and improve corporate capital efficiency. Ultimately, the integration of regulated stablecoins with tokenized equity strategies signals a shift toward a more efficient, programmatic financial infrastructure in Asia.

Wall Street’s UBS uMINT yield-bearing collateral has reached Bybit – but there’s a catch
Calais Digital Assets has successfully integrated UBS's uMINT tokenized money-market fund as live collateral for trading operations on the Bybit exchange. This deployment, which went live on June 18, utilizes a three-party infrastructure involving DigiFT for distribution and ByCustody for asset holding. By allowing the uMINT position to remain in custody while being recognized as exchange margin, Calais achieves capital efficiency by earning money-market yield on assets that would otherwise sit idle. This development marks a significant shift in the RWA market from simple token issuance to the integration of assets into active, institutional-grade trading workflows. While the current scale of uMINT remains modest with approximately $18.7 million in total asset value as of June 21, the workflow demonstrates a functional path for tokenized funds to serve as productive balance-sheet tools. The success of this model depends on the ability of market participants to standardize operational controls, including valuation, haircut policies, and liquidation procedures during periods of market stress. Ultimately, this implementation serves as a critical proof point for the utility of tokenized real-world assets within complex, multi-party financial stacks.

Bybit expands RWA push with tokenized bond funds from PIMCO, CMBI
Crypto exchange Bybit has launched its RWA Earn platform, providing eligible users access to tokenized institutional bond funds managed by PIMCO and China Merchants Bank International (CMBI). The offering features the PIMCO Dynamic Income Opportunities Fund, which targets diverse fixed-income assets, and the CMBI Investment Grade Bond Fund, focusing on Asian and global credit. This initiative utilizes DigiFT for tokenization services and Plume for onchain infrastructure, including subscription and allocation management. The move highlights the growing integration of traditional financial products into the blockchain ecosystem, where Plume currently supports over 210 tokenized assets and has processed more than $512 million in volume over the last 30 days. As of June 12, the broader tokenized asset market reached a valuation of $31.8 billion, with US Treasuries leading the sector at $14.9 billion. Bybit’s expansion reflects a broader industry trend where major exchanges and financial institutions are increasingly adopting tokenization to offer yield-bearing assets to their clients. This development underscores the shift toward institutional-grade RWA products, bridging the gap between traditional fixed-income markets and decentralized finance infrastructure.

Calais Becomes 1st Quantitative Hedge Fund to Deploy UBS uMINT as OES Collateral via Bybit, ByCustody & DigiFT
Calais Digital Assets has become the first institutional client to utilize UBS uMINT as off-exchange settlement (OES) collateral for active trading on the Bybit exchange. This deployment, facilitated by ByCustody and DigiFT, allows the Singapore-based quantitative fund to maintain yield on its collateral while it remains locked in regulated custody. Traditionally, OES collateral requires firms to post idle cash that earns no return, creating a significant capital inefficiency. By leveraging the Ethereum-based UBS uMINT tokenized money market fund, Calais effectively bridges the gap between traditional institutional security and decentralized finance efficiency. This milestone demonstrates that tokenized real-world assets can function as live, yield-bearing collateral at an institutional scale without compromising risk management. The integration relies on a technical framework established by Bybit and DigiFT in 2025 to support institutional-grade tokenized assets. Ultimately, this development marks a shift toward more capital-efficient trading operations where assets serve dual purposes as both security and investment.
