Amber Premium and DigiFT Launch Crypto Card Integration for Stablecoin Yield via Institutional-Grade RWAs

May 20, 2025 — DigiFT, a next-generation exchange for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), and Amber International Holding Limited (Nasdaq: AMBR), a leading provider of institutional crypto financial services and solutions, operating under the brand name “Amber Premium”, today announced the joint launch of a groundbreaking integration that enables stablecoin holders to passively earn yield via institutional-grade RWAs through the Amber Premium Crypto Card.

At the core of this innovation is uMINT, a tokenized money market fund issued by UBS Asset Management and distributed by DigiFT. This integration introduces a new way for crypto card users to access yield products backed by a global financial institution—offering a compliant and transparent alternative to the high-risk, synthetic returns traditionally seen in the market.

Built on Ethereum and issued under UBS Tokenize, UBS’s in-house tokenization platform, uMINT is a money market investment underpinned by high-quality money market instruments and based on a conservative, risk-managed framework. Through this integration, Amber Premium users can now allocate stablecoin balances directly to uMINT from their digital asset wallets—earning yield effortlessly while retaining spending flexibility through the Visa network.

“Amber Premium and DigiFT are jointly launching a solution that brings institutional-grade yield directly into the hands of crypto users,” said Wayne Huo, CEO of Amber Premium. “By working with DigiFT and UBS to integrate real-world assets into a seamless digital experience, we’re enabling clients to earn, hold, and spend with confidence—while paving the way for more compliant and sustainable adoption of digital finance.”

“This is the future of digital finance—where holding, earning, and spending come together seamlessly,” said Henry Zhang, Founder & CEO of DigiFT. “By partnering with Amber Premium, we’re making institutional-grade yield accessible within everyday crypto experiences—securely, on-chain, and built for the open economy.” 

Key Features

• Real Yield, Not Synthetic: Stablecoin returns are derived from regulated, institutional-grade instruments—not speculative lending or rehypothecation.

• Passive Yield, Instant Access: Stablecoin holdings are automatically allocated to uMINT while remaining spendable at Visa-supported merchants worldwide.

• Regulated, Transparent, Secure: Built in partnership with UBS Asset Management and MAS-licensed DigiFT, all transactions are recorded on-chain with compliance oversight.
