Bybit Brings Institutional Bond Markets to Crypto-Native Investors

Bybit has launched RWA Earn, a platform that allows eligible users to subscribe to tokenized institutional bond funds managed by China Merchants Bank International and PIMCO. This move marks a significant step in making institutional-grade fixed-income strategies available to crypto-native investors.

The Trillion Dollar Bond Market Opportunity is now within reach for these investors, who can access the same fixed-income strategies that sovereign wealth funds and pension managers rely on without leaving the crypto ecosystem. Bybit customers can spend their stablecoins and get institutional-grade returns straight from their current accounts using Plume's straightforward, compliant onchain vaults.

RWA Earn launches two fund products: PIMCO Dynamic Income Opportunities Fund (PDO) and CMB International Asset Management's CMBI Investment Grade Bond Fund (CMIGB). These funds offer distinctive international prospects and have a history of competitive APR. Both products are tokenized using DigiFT, governed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), and processed via Plume Nest Vaults for on-chain subscription and fund allocation.

The launch takes place at a turning moment for the real-world assets (RWA) industry as a whole. Tokenized RWAs are becoming popular as a structural trend in both conventional and decentralized finance, and stablecoin market capitalization is expected to hit $300 billion in 2026.
