Securitize Taps Plume’s 265K-User Network for Regulated Asset Distribution

Plume partnered with Securitize to bring institutional-grade global assets directly to more than 265,000 real-world asset (RWA) holders through its Nest staking protocol. 

The move connects one of the largest regulated tokenization platforms with one of the fastest-growing RWA communities in crypto. 

What This Partnership Means

The partnership places regulated institutional assets—issued under Securitize’s compliance framework—onto Plume’s modular RWA-focused layer-2 blockchain. Securitize, backed by BlackRock and Morgan Stanley, will use Plume as a distribution, liquidity, and composability layer for tokenized funds.

Plume’s Nest protocol already supports a large RWA user base and gives holders a simple way to move, trade, and earn yield within a regulated DeFi environment. The addition of Securitize’s assets expands the types of investment products available, starting with Hamilton Lane funds and broadening through 2026.

The rollout also includes support from Solv Protocol, which plans to invest up to $10 million into Plume’s RWA vaults, creating new BTC-based yield opportunities built on real-world underlying assets.

Why Plume and Securitize Are Connecting Now

The global RWA market has expanded sharply over the past two years. Data from RWA.xyz shows that more than $35 billion in RWAs are currently on-chain, spread across more than 539,000 holders. Much of the value today sits in U.S. Treasury bill exposure, but demand is shifting toward private credit, alternative assets, and new categories such as energy, GPUs, oil, and mineral rights.

According to CoinTelegraph, Plume CEO Chris Yin says RWA market value could triple by 2026. The platform is also tracking a more than 10x increase in RWA holders since early 2024, with Yin expecting continued acceleration as more institutional assets move on-chain.

Many countries are drafting and finalizing rules for stablecoins and tokenized assets. Clearer laws are helping institutional issuers operate outside of pilot sandboxes and create regulated, scalable products.

Plume’s Role: Liquidity, Reach, and Composability

Plume is designed to support the full lifecycle of tokenized assets. It provides:

• A modular layer-2 designed specifically for RWAs
• Distribution to more than 280,000 verified RWA holders
• Regulated staking and yield mechanisms through the Nest protocol
• Composability with DeFi tools
• Integration with Bluprynt’s Know-Your-Issuer (KYI) verification system for transparency

Teddy Pornprinya, Plume’s co-founder and CBO, says the core rule of traditional markets still applies on-chain: assets only scale if they have distribution. He further added that tokenized funds need liquidity and broad reach, which Plume’s ecosystem provides.

“Securitize sets the gold standard in compliant issuance. Plume delivers the global distribution, composability, and liquidity layer that makes these assets come alive in DeFi," Pornprinya stated.

Securitize’s Role: Compliance and Regulated Issuance

Securitize issues and manages tokenized funds under a strict regulatory framework. Its platform already handles tokenized private equity, credit, and alternative investments for major asset managers.

Key components of Securitize’s framework include:

• End-to-end compliance
• Full auditability
• Clear issuer accountability
• Regulated investor onboarding
• Secure asset servicing

Carlos Domingo, CEO of Securitize, says Plume gives the company access to one of the largest communities of on-chain RWA holders. The partnership creates a new channel where institutions can bring their assets on-chain without weakening compliance requirements.

How the Integration Works

The integration links Securitize’s tokenized funds directly into Plume’s Nest protocol.

Investors can:

• Move tokenized assets on-chain
• Trade them within a regulated DeFi environment
• Stake them for yield
• Access liquidity without leaving the compliance perimeter

Nest Protocol Fundamentals

Nest is Plume’s built-in staking environment for tokenized assets. It supports regulated yield, composability across DeFi, and seamless asset movement.

Key elements include:

• Support for institutional-grade issuers
• Regulated staking mechanisms
• Tokenomics aligned with RWA flows
• Automated asset verification through KYI
• Integration with Plume’s layer-2 liquidity routes

Assets Coming to Plume Through Securitize

The initial rollout features Hamilton Lane funds, which are well-known in private credit and private markets. Additional asset classes from Securitize’s platform will arrive across 2025 and 2026.

Asset Types Expected

Securitize’s catalog includes a wide range of institutional products that may be introduced over time.

Likely categories include:

• Private credit funds
• Alternative investment funds
• Tokenized private equity
• Yield-bearing credit instruments
• Liquid private markets strategies

All assets remain under Securitize’s regulatory oversight, creating a stable and transparent foundation.

The Role of Solv Protocol

Solv Protocol, a Bitcoin finance platform with over $2.8 billion in assets, will invest up to $10 million in Plume’s RWA vaults. This brings BTC-based yield into the RWA landscape in a controlled way.

Ryan Chow, Solv’s co-founder and CEO, says Bitcoin is shifting into a core asset for yield markets as regulated on-chain products expand. He expects BTC-based yield strategies to become central to institutional adoption, replacing passive treasury exposure with RWA-backed yield.

Recent Moves by Plume

Plume’s momentum is supported by two recent developments:

• Acquisition of Dinero, which brings liquid staking products for ETH, SOL, and BTC to Plume’s platform.
• Partnership with World Liberty Financial (WLFI) to make USD1 the reserve asset for WLFI’s stablecoin, pUSD.

Both moves broaden Plume’s coverage across staking, stablecoins, and institutional infrastructure.

Conclusion

The Plume-Securitize partnership strengthens the link between traditional finance and on-chain RWA infrastructure. Investors gain access to institutional-grade tokenized assets under a regulated framework, while issuers gain distribution to one of the largest RWA communities in crypto. 

Plume provides liquidity, reach, and composability, and Securitize provides compliance and regulated issuance. The rollout begins with Hamilton Lane funds and expands across 2026, supported by additional yield channels through Solv Protocol. Together, the companies offer a clear path for regulated, scalable tokenization across global markets.
