Securitize, the leader in tokenization, has partnered with Plume, a modular, real-world asset-focused layer-2 network, to bring institutional-grade assets to Plume’s Nest staking protocol, thereby significantly expanding its decentralized finance footprint. The collaboration will bridge the tokenized investment products of Securitize, a company backed by BlackRock and Morgan Stanley, with Plume’s ecosystem that comprises over 280,000 real-world asset holders – a community that could be one of the largest on-chain RWA investor networks globally.
The agreement provides a bridge between traditional finance (TradFi) structures and a scalable DeFi architecture. Any asset coming from the partnership will still be issued and overseen under the regulatory and compliance framework that Securitize has in place, thus granting transparency, full auditability, and compliance with the standards of securities. Nest, a protocol of Plume will provide investors with regulated DeFi layer capabilities to move, trade, and earn yield on tokenized funds; this layer will be integrated with Bluprynt’s issuer-verification system for more governance and trust assurance.
The collaboration with digital market access is a big deal, according to Carlos Domingo, Securitize CEO and co-founder. “By Plume, we are linking one of the largest communities of on-chain RWA holders globally with institutional-grade assets. This association is a significant move to the next level of truly global, transparent, and easily accessible digital capital markets,” he noted in the statement.
Teddy Pornprinya, Plume co-founder and chief business officer, mentioned that distribution and liquidity continue to be the main factors that expand the use of tokenized products. He expressed that tokenized assets “need liquidity, reach, and composability in order to live up to their potential,” and went on to state that Plume’s infrastructure is aimed at releasing those capabilities on a large scale.
The initial deployment will showcase Hamilton Lane investment products, as per the announcement, with the extension being planned till 2026 for the area of capital commitments worth $100 million. Besides that, Bitcoin finance platform Solv is willing to invest up to $10 million in Plume’s RWA vaults to open more BTC-backed yield opportunities linked with the regulated real-world assets.
Solv Protocol co-founder and CEO Ryan Chow pointed out the increasing convergence of bitcoin and institutional-grade yield strategies. He believed that regulated digital markets would make bitcoin the basis for “a new generation of yield, credit, and liquidity infrastructure,” thus substituting passive treasury instruments as the demand for yield-bearing crypto instruments backed by real-world financial exposure increases.
