PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands , Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ KuCoin, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, today announced support for UBS uMINT, a token corresponding to the first tokenized money market investment fund launched by UBS Asset Management and distributed through DigiFT, a leading licensed platform for tokenized real-world assets RWAs. As the first global crypto exchange to support UBS uMINT, this collaboration allows institutional tokenholders through DigiFT to utilize their tokenized investment funds as off-exchange collateral, enabling efficient trading on digital assets and access to a wider array of alternative digital asset investments offered by KuCoin.
UBS uMINT tokenholders can access UBS Asset Managements institutional grade cash management solutions underpinned by high-quality money market instruments based on a risk-managed framework. Issued under UBS Tokenize, UBSs in-house tokenization service, UBS uMINT is built on the Ethereum distributed ledger technology.
This initiative, driven by KuCoin, represents an advancement in the cryptocurrency sector, expanding the use of tokenized RWAs to a real-world applicable trading environment, where KuCoin mirrors RWA holdings with stablecoin equivalents without transferring ownership, enabling sophisticated trading on digital assets while preserving yields and control through a third-party regulated custodian. It addresses the growing demand for high-grade on-chain income assets, offering enhanced liquidity, risk reduction, and operational efficiencies-all while emphasizing regulatory compliance and security.
KuCoin remains committed to innovation alongside unwavering compliance and security, stated BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin . This partnership with DigiFT to support the UBS uMINT token highlights a significant step forward in exploring the viability and adoption of secure investments for a broader audience. It empowers institutions to unlock tokenized traditional assets for seamless global trading and solidifies KuCoins leadership in converging traditional and digital finance.
DigiFT, as an authorized distribution partner, provides investors access to tokenized RWAs such as the UBS tokenized money market investment fund, where DigiFT supports both subscription and redemption via stablecoins and fiat currency in a non-custodial manner, with clients using their preferred custody wallet solution.
