Calais Digital said that it became the first quant hedge fund to use UBS uMINT as live OES collateral through Bybit and DigiFT. The update makes tokenized money-market collateral an active trading tool rather than a purely infrastructure announcement.
Announcement: Calais × Bybit × DigiFT × UBS uMINT 🤝

The deployment affects institutional funds seeking to keep collateral productive while trading on crypto venues. Calais said uMINT lets it earn yield on margin that would otherwise sit idle, making capital efficiency the core operational impact for its enhanced-strategy portfolio.
The next point to watch is whether more funds adopt the same Bybit, ByCustody and DigiFT pathway for tokenized collateral. For now, Calais’s use of UBS uMINT is a live institutional test case, not proof of broad market adoption.
