Introduction
Plume is the first RWAfi L1 EVM network focused on bringing the real world onchain. They build infrastructure to make it easy to connect the real world and crypto markets. They go against the traditional view of RWAs by changing its definition – it’s not just TradFi onchain but instead building net new crypto-first RWA use cases to the market including things like RWA derivatives/speculation, borrow/lend, yield farming, and more.
Jinse Finance reported that Plume has announced the acquisition of Dinero. This transaction will add institutional-grade staking products for Ethereum, Solana, and Bitcoin to the Plume platform. It is reported that Dinero's main product, ipxETH, is an institutional-grade liquid staking token (LST) with a total value locked (TVL) of approximately $125 million. This product provides regulated Ethereum staking channels through partnerships with institutions such as Galaxy and Laser Digital.
Foresight News reports that Plume, a public blockchain focused on real-world asset finance (RWAfi), has acquired Dinero, an institutional-grade staking protocol on Ethereum. This acquisition will integrate staking functionalities for ETH, SOL, and BTC into the Plume ecosystem, enabling both institutional and DeFi users to earn yields and manage tokenized assets on a single platform. Dinero is known for its compliant staking product ipxETH, with a current total value locked exceeding $125 million, and has established partnerships with institutions such as Galaxy Digital and Laser Digital (a subsidiary of Nomura Holdings). Plume stated that this acquisition will further strengthen its technological and ecosystem advantages in the fields of compliant staking and RWA integration.
BlockBeats News, October 8, Plume announced the acquisition of Dinero, the fastest-growing institutional-grade staking protocol on Ethereum. This acquisition will integrate the staking functions of ETH, SOL, and BTC into the Plume ecosystem, enabling institutions and DeFi users to earn yields and manage tokenized assets on the same platform. It is reported that Dinero's staking product is the yield-bearing token ipxETH, with a current total value locked (TVL) of $125 million.
Plume price gained by 15% as bulls reemerged amid overall market bounce. The news that Plume has registered a transfer agent adds to bulls’ positivity. Bulls could target its all-time high of $0.24. Plume Network’s native token, PLUME, has surged double digits to hit highs of $0.13 amid regulatory tailwinds related to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The platform’s registration as a transfer agent with the SEC puts Plume in position as a compliant gateway for tokenized real-world assets, a move that could trigger fresh interest in its token. Plume secures SEC nod as transfer agent At the heart of PLUME’s ascent is Plume Network’s recent registration with the SEC as a qualified transfer agent for tokenized securities, announced on October 6. This designation marks a critical evolution for the modular Layer-2 blockchain, which specializes in real-world asset finance (RWAfi). As a registered entity, Plume can now legally oversee the issuance, transfer, and record-keeping of digital securities directly on-chain. It opens the door to seamless integration with established U.S. financial infrastructure. Traditionally, transfer agents serve as custodians for shareholder registries. Key features include handling ownership transfers, dividend distributions, and corporate actions in off-chain environments. However, legacy institutions dominate this space. Plume’s innovation lies in automating these processes via distributed ledger technology, ensuring immutable transparency while linking capitalization tables to SEC reporting systems and the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC). The foundation's already in place. We've already onboarded 200K+ RWA holders and more than $62M in tokenized assets on @NestCredit within just three months. Our transfer agent now gives issuers and asset managers the tools to scale onchain securely. — Plume – RWAfi Chain (@plumenetwork) October 6, 2025 As adoption grows, Plume’s status could catalyze trillions in on-chain migration. It’s role in fostering interoperability between TradFi and blockchain ecosystems has the potential to drive gains. Plume Network price gains 15% to signal potential rebound As the cryptocurrency markets show renewed bullish sentiment, PLUME has surged to multi-week highs with 15% gains putting it among the top performers in the market. Trading data indicates the push to intraday highs of $0.13 followed a bounce from lows of $0.10. Notably, PLUME went vertical on Monday as news of its SEC milestone hit the market, helping bulls navigate a key resistance level that has marked a prolonged period of consolidation. That supply zone between $0.09 and $0.105, for much of the prior week, constrained bulls. Broader market uncertainty amid macroeconomic pressures are two crucial factors. However, as Bitcoin bounced to highs of $126,198 and a new peak, investor confidence in Plume’s ecosystem helped the altcoin higher. Overall upward momentum for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) added to the optimism. What next for PLUME price? While price has retreated to lows of $0.11, a retest of the $0.10 area and potentially $0.09 may offer a new opportunity for bulls to decisively bounce. The surge in daily trading volume, which is up 786% to more than $235 million, signals to the robust liquidity and market activity. PLUME chart by TradingView Bulls could eye $0.24, the Plume token’s all-time high reached in March 2025. The price action has also rippled through correlated assets, with other RWA-focused tokens like Ondo Finance. As Plume revealed its SEC nod, Ondo Finance also benefitted from upside momentum. For this token, gains came amid news that the platform had officially finalized its acquisition of Oasis Pro. The milestone sees Ondo secure its approval for SEC-registered broker-dealer, ATS, and transfer agent.
Plume Network gains SEC transfer agent approval. Move strengthens trust in tokenized assets. Marks key step in regulated blockchain finance. Plume Network has officially registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a transfer agent — a major achievement that places it among a select group of blockchain projects operating under U.S. regulatory oversight. This registration allows Plume to handle recordkeeping, ownership transfers, and compliance tasks for tokenized securities. In simple terms, it bridges traditional financial regulations with the fast-evolving world of digital assets. As the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) grows, regulatory approval like this is crucial to gaining institutional and investor confidence. Plume Network’s SEC recognition signals that tokenized financial products are moving closer to mainstream adoption. What SEC Registration Means for Tokenized Securities Being a registered transfer agent under the SEC framework gives Plume Network the ability to manage and track tokenized securities transactions with full regulatory compliance. Transfer agents play a key role in traditional markets — they keep track of who owns what, manage corporate actions, and ensure smooth recordkeeping. Bringing this same trust and structure into blockchain-based assets opens the door for tokenized equities, bonds, and funds to function securely within the U.S. financial system. This step also aligns with growing investor demand for regulated blockchain solutions that merge transparency, security, and legal compliance. JUST IN: $PLUME ( @plumenetwork ) registered by SEC as transfer agent for tokenized securities pic.twitter.com/mBxiw06DUm — Satoshi Club (@esatoshiclub) October 6, 2025 Impact on the Future of Digital Finance Plume Network’s registration strengthens the broader crypto ecosystem by showing that compliance and innovation can coexist. As regulators push for clarity in digital asset markets, projects like Plume that embrace compliance early are better positioned for long-term success. The move could encourage other blockchain platforms to follow suit, accelerating the responsible growth of tokenized securities in the U.S. and beyond.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) formally approved Plume (PLUME) as a registered transfer agent for tokenized securities on October 6, marking a major milestone in the shift toward regulated blockchain markets. The announcement sparked a sharp market rally, with PLUME’s price jumping 31% before settling at $0.12. Analysts say the decision highlights a growing effort to merge blockchain innovation with US financial oversight. Plume Secures Key SEC Approval As a transfer agent, Plume can now handle shareholder records, trades, and dividend payments directly on-chain. The registration connects its infrastructure with the SEC and the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), integrating compliance into the digital asset ecosystem. Plume Price Performance. Source: Plume Transfer agents have long been vital to maintaining shareholder data and processing ownership changes. Plume’s blockchain-native system automates these duties and offers real-time audit visibility. “Regulated on-chain reporting is no longer theoretical — it’s operational,” said Plume co-founder Chris Yin. “We built this framework to integrate digital and traditional finance without friction.” The company said it has already onboarded over 200,000 real-world asset holders and facilitated more than $62 million in tokenized assets through its Nest platform within three months. The registration, it added, represents a foundation for aligning blockchain infrastructure with US securities law. Regulatory Shift Could Reshape Token Markets The SEC’s approval underscores a broader regulatory turn toward treating blockchain as viable market infrastructure. It follows joint SEC–CFTC discussions and the CFTC’s $15 billion tokenized collateral pilot launched last month. Observers say Plume’s achievement could push other tokenization firms to seek similar recognition, speeding up institutional entry into digital securities. The SEC’s nod may also assure custodians and broker-dealers that blockchain processes can function safely under federal frameworks. Economists say integrating blockchain into official settlement systems could cut processing times by up to 70%, lower operational costs, and improve transparency across asset lifecycles. It could also open routes for tokenized funds, ETFs, and private credit vehicles to meet compliance faster. Plume CEO Chris Yin stressed that regulatory alignment is essential for scaling real-world assets, saying, “Compliance and transparency are not limitations—they’re the foundation of institutional adoption,” in a post on X this February. Plume is for the people. I've said it before and I'll say it again — almost all RWA projects are TradFi ppl trying to do Trad things onchainNot us. We are focused on building a new financial system that allows everybody — from the largest financial institutions to… — Chris Yin February 5, 2025 The approval also places the US alongside Europe and Asia, where regulators have advanced tokenized securities rules. With global tokenized assets topping $30 billion — a 700% rise since early 2023 — analysts say regulated transfer agents like Plume could bridge issuers, asset managers, and investors in a fully compliant on-chain ecosystem.
Plume has announced the launch of a new real-world assets alliance that brings together leading players in the tokenized-assets market. Summary Plume has partnered with WisdomTree, Morpho and Centrifuge to launch the Global RWA Alliance. Together with other tokenized assets market players, the alliance eyes expansion and adoption of real-world assets on-chain. Plume recently registered a transfer agent with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Global RWA Alliance, with founding members including WisdomTree, Morpho and Centrifuge, is Plume’s latest milestone as the tokenization trend picks new momentum. According to a press release , the group seeks to bring together top industry players as part of the push to drive further adoption of tokenized assets. The alliance also includes DigiFT, Nest, TopNod, Gate Web3, RWA.xyz, and Mercado Bitcoin, among others. “The launch of the Global RWA Alliance marks an important step toward unifying a fragmented ecosystem,” said Shukyee Ma, chief strategy officer at Plume. Ma noted that the real-world-assets ecosystem is currently “one of the most promising growth categories in finance.” Despite rising interest, issues such as a lack of standards, infrastructure gaps, and poor distribution have hampered adoption. Alliance targets global reach To boost adoption, the alliance is targeting a global footprint, with initial distribution focused on the U.S. and Asia-Pacific. However, a global presence that ensures cross-border accessibility will be key to the alliance’s goals, which include engaging with key stakeholders. The cross-industry initiative aims to bring together RWA issuers, platforms, regulators, and infrastructure providers. “By bringing issuers, platforms, and regulators together under a neutral framework, we can accelerate adoption and set the foundation for globally interoperable tokenized markets,” Ma added. The alliance also targets growth via fresh yield opportunities for investors, with Plume enabling access to Nest, the platform’s modular yield infrastructure. Nest already integrates some of the world’s top providers, including OKX Earn, Galaxy, and Morpho. Galaxy Digital launched a new retail trading app offering crypto and stocks on Monday, October 6, 2025. Plume and the RWA traction The initiative’s unveiling comes hot on the heels of Plume’s regulatory milestone that saw the company register a transfer agent with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Specifically, the platform is now SEC-approved, with its transfer-agent license allowing it to bring compliant recordkeeping, trade tracking, and fund administration to the U.S. tokenized-assets market. Meanwhile, Plume boasts nearly $577.8 million in total value locked, and its tokenized treasury vaults have seen utilization exceed 90%.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved Plume (PLUME) as a registered transfer agent of tokenized securities on Oct. 6. The announcement caused the PLUME token to surge 31% from $0.1022 to $0.1342 before settling at $0.12 as of press time, representing a 21% increase over the past 24 hours. The registration enables Plume to manage shareholder records, trades, and dividends on-chain, while linking cap tables and reporting directly to the SEC and the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) systems. Traditional transfer agents operate off-chain, but Plume now brings that infrastructure to blockchain networks with native compliance tools. The platform’s transfer agent enables on-chain cap table and trade reporting to the SEC and DTCC, as well as native fund administration for issuers and asset managers, all while facilitating faster onboarding without compromising regulatory compliance. Plume stated the registration represents its first step in working with the SEC to build fully compliant tokenized capital markets. The platform reported it has onboarded over 200,000 real-world asset holders and more than $62 million in tokenized assets through its Nest platform in three months. Plume said the transfer agent gives issuers and asset managers tools to scale on-chain securely while maintaining regulatory standards. Tokenization grows in the US The approval arrives as US regulators accelerate coordination on digital asset oversight. The SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) held a joint roundtable on Sept. 29 to address fragmented regulation that had previously discouraged innovation and pushed crypto activity offshore. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and CFTC Acting Chairman Caroline Pham stated that harmonization can lower barriers and enhance efficiency in financial markets. The CFTC announced on Sept. 23 an initiative to enable tokenized collateral in derivatives markets, including stablecoins. Pham described the move as advancing blockchain technology in collateral management systems, stating that “tokenized markets are here, and they are the future.” Plume’s transfer agent registration directly connects the platform’s infrastructure to federal reporting systems in response to regulatory advancements in the US tokenized securities market.

Plume is now an SEC-approved transfer agent, enabling compliant recordkeeping, trade tracking, and fund administration for tokenized assets within U.S. regulatory frameworks. Summary Plume becomes the first SEC-approved onchain transfer agent, enabling compliant recordkeeping and trade reporting on blockchain. The system connects with SEC and DTCC infrastructure, bridging Wall Street’s oversight with Web3 automation. With 200,000 asset holders and $62 million tokenized via Nest Credit, Plume aims to attract 40 Act funds and expand regulated tokenization in the U.S. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has granted Plume Network a pivotal role in the digital asset space, approving it to operate as a transfer agent. The designation, confirmed in an Oct. 6 announcement, empowers the company to maintain shareholder ledgers, process ownership changes, and handle compliance reporting directly on-chain. Plume has registered a transfer agent with @SECGov . This accelerates our mission to bring the trillion-dollar U.S. securities market onchain. It's our first step in working with the SEC to build fully compliant tokenized capital markets. Safely, compliantly, and fast. pic.twitter.com/otqLSIEoE0 — Plume – RWAfi Chain (@plumenetwork) October 6, 2025 In doing so, Plume becomes the first native crypto entity to step into a function long dominated by Wall Street’s traditional recordkeepers. Crucially, its system is built to plug directly into the existing infrastructure of the SEC and the DTCC, creating a seamless bridge between decentralized ledgers and the core of U.S. financial regulation. A regulated bridge between Wall Street and Web3 A transfer agent acts as the official recordkeeper for a security. In traditional finance, these entities meticulously track who owns shares, manage the transfer of ownership, and handle critical investor communications like dividend payments. Plume’s registration means it can now perform these exact functions, but with the immutable transparency and smart-contract automation inherent to blockchain technology. Plume’s on-chain transfer agent is designed to simplify processes that currently stretch for months. By embedding trade reporting and cap table management into smart contracts, the system can cut tokenization timelines to weeks. It also enables use cases that have been difficult to achieve in compliant settings, including on-chain IPOs, small-cap fundraising, and registered fund issuance. For asset managers, the network offers native fund administration tools, allowing them to create, manage, and settle tokenized securities while adhering to federal reporting requirements. The network is not starting from zero. To demonstrate operational capacity, Plume has already onboarded more than 200,000 holders of real-world assets and facilitated over $62 million in tokenized assets on its Nest Credit protocol within a three-month span. Notably, Plume’s regulatory milestone is also part of a broader strategy to attract 40 Act funds, the regulatory backbone of the U.S. asset management industry encompassing mutual funds and ETFs, which represents a $39 trillion market. The network has confirmed it is already fielding interest from such funds, a clear signal that traditional managers are actively seeking compliant on-ramps to blockchain efficiency.

Grove has announced a landmark tokenization deal, deploying $50 million as the cornerstone investor for Apollo’s diversified credit strategy now live on the Plume blockchain. Summary Grove has anchored $50 million in Apollo’s new tokenized credit fund (ACRDX) on Plume. The fund combines Apollo’s credit strategy with Centrifuge tokenization and Plume’s blockchain infrastructure. Available via Plume’s Nest Credit protocol, the product offers institutional investors blockchain-based access to diversified credit market According to a press release shared with crypto.news on September 16, the institutional credit protocol Grove has deployed $50 million as the anchor investment into the newly launched Anemoy Tokenized Apollo Diversified Credit Fund ACRDX. The fund, a collaborative effort between tokenization specialist Centrifuge and real-world asset blockchain Plume, serves as a tokenized feeder into Apollo’s flagship diversified credit strategy. The vehicle is purpose-built for Nest Credit, Plume’s institutional yield protocol, where it will be accessible to qualified investors under the ticker nACRDX. How the tokenized fund aims to reshape credit access Operationally, Centrifuge provides the core tokenization infrastructure, transforming shares of the Apollo Diversified Credit Fund into on-chain tokens, while Plume’s blockchain acts as the purpose-built settlement layer, hosting the fund with its native compliance and DeFi integration features. The tokenized offering, nACRDX, is then made available through Nest Credit’s vault system, providing a familiar interface for institutional participants. This end-to-end collaboration is bolstered by Chronicle oracles, which ensure reliable on-chain data feeds, while Wormhole’s technology guarantees the fund’s cross-chain interoperability. By combining Apollo’s investment expertise with Centrifuge’s tokenization framework and Plume’s infrastructure, the fund is pitched as a compliant and institution-ready product. The launch comes at a time when demand for diversified yield strategies is rising, particularly in private credit markets that have been historically opaque and restricted to larger institutions. Tokenization , in this case, promises greater transparency and efficiency, while potentially lowering barriers for investors seeking exposure. “As investors seek attractive yields and diversification, ACRDX not only serves as a solution providing exposure across global private and public credit markets, but also validates our mission that institutional-grade credit is a core pillar of the blockchain economy.” Sam Paderewski, Co-Founder of Grove Labs, said. Grove bills itself as an institutional-grade credit infrastructure protocol designed to function as a liquidity engine for decentralized finance, allowing qualified investors to access yield. The team at Grove Labs, which includes co-founders with deep TradFi and DeFi expertise, claims to have facilitated more than $5 billion in on-chain capital allocations prior to this deal.
Chainfeeds Guide: RWA is not simply about bringing real-world assets into the crypto space. We are building an entirely new world and market, where cryptocurrencies and physical economic assets will merge into one, with no clear boundaries. Source: Author: ChainCatcher Opinion: Chris Yin: That's absolutely right. There are several reasons why our perspective on the industry is unique. Take Figure as an example: one major advantage of the RWA sector is its positive-sum nature. When the market experiences explosive growth, there won't be just one winner; in the future, many successful companies and development paths will emerge. We respect all participants, which is beneficial for the industry as a whole. Companies like Figure use blockchain to solve TradFi pain points: improving the efficiency of home equity loans by addressing process and cost, making home equity lines of credit (HELOC) more efficient. Our approach is quite the opposite. We are betting on the growth of the crypto economy, not on the transformation of traditional financial products. In our view, the transformation of traditional finance is a result, not a goal. Today's crypto world already carries trillions of dollars in assets and has a huge and continuously growing user base—and this ecosystem is still expanding. As the scale grows, user needs will naturally evolve. Therefore, we are not "internally renovating" existing products, but are committed to exploring and building a brand new world. This philosophical orientation gives rise to completely different processes and products. We deeply practice crypto principles: liquidity, composability, and ease of use, and we focus more on total revenue rather than cost control. People enter the crypto space not to save money—but to make money. This is the fundamental logic behind BTC and meme coins: users are seeking yield growth and upside potential. From this perspective, we do not start from the traditional financial experience—that model, which requires KYC, is cumbersome to operate, and has restricted transfers, actually offers very limited improvement to end-user returns. But our methodology is: how can we completely transform products into a crypto-native experience? For example, with on-chain treasury products now, such as USDS or Maker's newly launched Sky product: I can go directly to Uniswap or the Maker website, use stablecoins to click deposit or swap, and it's equivalent to holding treasuries. This is a completely different experience. This transformation is significant. USDS currently has a total value locked of about 4 to 5 billion dollars, and it has full ecosystem composability, becoming a standard value storage method alongside other yield-bearing stablecoins. This difference drives usage, trading volume, and demand growth, and gives rise to more upper-layer applications. In contrast, HELOC or US short-term treasury products that are simply brought on-chain in the traditional financial way require users to: meet the qualified investor criteria (a 5 million dollar capital threshold), trade within limited time windows, trade in increments of 100,000 dollars, and complete KYC certification. Take BlackRock's BUIDL fund (managed by Securitize) as an example: although it performs well and has a total value locked of 2 to 3 billion dollars, its scale is still smaller than USDS, and more importantly, the number of holders is extremely small—only a few dozen.

Plume integrates Octane AI-powered security into its ecosystem Initial audits identified 192 issues, including critical failures Partnership seeks institutional standards for tokenized finance Plume, an open, permissionless blockchain designed for real-world asset-based (RWA) finance, announced a strategic partnership with Octane, an AI-powered security platform. The goal is to provide institutional-grade protection for protocols and contracts operating within its ecosystem. Plume 🤝 Octane We're integrating the security platform trusted by @circle , @avax , @UniswapFND , and more to bring AI-powered, institutional-grade protection to the Plume ecosystem. Already battle-tested, @octane_security now supports builders across RWAfi. pic.twitter.com/91Jdq2Qbbt — Plume – RWAfi Chain (@plumenetwork) September 10, 2025 The integration will enable Plume developers' CI/CD pipelines to incorporate automated security scans from Octane, which has already analyzed over 86 million lines of code and protected on-chain assets valued at over $6 billion. This continuous auditing process makes it possible to identify vulnerabilities in real time and apply fixes without delaying development. In initial testing, Octane evaluated over 66.000 lines of Plume-related code and found 192 issues. Among them, a critical vulnerability was identified in the Mystic project, which could have led to the loss of user funds. According to the team, three separate scans were performed on Plume's core contracts and ecosystem protocols, reinforcing the robustness of the audit process. The partnership comes as financial institutions are stepping up their entry into the tokenized finance market, bringing with them security standards similar to those applied in the traditional sector (TradFi), such as SOC-level certifications. This puts pressure on new blockchains to offer secure and reliable infrastructure. Teddy Pornprinya, CBO and co-founder of Plume, highlighted the impact of the collaboration: "Our goal is to make Plume the safest place to build and scale tokenized finance. Octane's AI-powered offensive security platform allows us to deliver infrastructure with advanced defenses. This benefits the developers and institutions now converging on our ecosystem." With support for enhanced security standards and continuous audits, Plume aims to solidify its position as a leading platform for RWA applications. The combination of development speed and real-time verification promises to attract both developers and institutions seeking to operate in a trusted blockchain environment. Tags: Plume RWA

Foresight News reported that Plume, a blockchain dedicated to real-world assets (RWA), retweeted a post from Topnod (Jingtan), an innovative product under Ant Digital Technologies, on X, with the caption "Probably nothing @AntChain." This may hint at a potential collaboration between the two parties. Topnod (Chinese name: Jingtan) is a digital collectibles platform supported by AntChain technology under Ant Group. Officially launched in 2021, the platform allows users to purchase, collect, view, and share digital collectibles with unique blockchain identifiers, providing an immersive digital cultural experience within the metaverse community.
On SEP 5 2025, PLUME surged by 83.97% within 24 hours to reach $0.0806. Over the past week, the token experienced a 14.89% decline, and over the last month, it has also fallen by 14.89%. Year-to-date, PLUME has dropped by 1253.4%, signaling a prolonged bearish trend despite the recent short-term rebound. The recent spike appears to follow a strategic move by key stakeholders within the PLUME ecosystem, as internal governance proposals were passed to restructure token allocations. A revised token distribution plan was announced, redirecting a portion of liquidity back into staking rewards and community incentives. This change was designed to boost long-term utility and increase on-chain activity. Developers also highlighted the launch of a new interoperability module, which is expected to improve cross-chain transactions and reduce gas costs for users. Technical indicators suggest that the recent 24-hour gain pushed PLUME above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which had previously acted as resistance levels. However, the 7- and 30-day RSI remains in oversold territory, indicating limited immediate upside potential. Analysts project that if the token fails to maintain above $0.0830 within the next 48 hours, it could face renewed downward pressure. The current chart pattern shows a classic "retracement" behavior, where prices temporarily reverse from a larger downtrend. Traders are closely watching key support levels at $0.0740 and $0.0690, which, if broken, could trigger a reacceleration of the bearish momentum. On the other hand, a successful close above $0.0850 might signal a potential trend reversal. Backtest Hypothesis To evaluate the sustainability of the recent price move, a historical backtesting framework was applied using a moving average crossover strategy. The model tested long positions when PLUME closed above its 50-day moving average and exited when it fell below. The results indicated that while the 24-hour surge aligns with a breakout pattern, the 7- and 30-day declines suggest the move may be part of a broader consolidation phase rather than a structural reversal.
Plume, a blockchain platform focused on real-world asset finance (RWAfi) and decentralized finance (DeFi), is set to integrate native USDC and the Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) V2. This development is expected to enhance the platform's capabilities by providing faster, more secure, and cost-efficient cross-chain transactions, thereby supporting institutional-grade financial operations. The integration of native USDC, the world’s largest regulated stablecoin, is designed to enable seamless asset settlement and expand the ecosystem’s use cases in DeFi and RWAfi. Since its Genesis mainnet launch on June 5, 2025, Plume has experienced significant growth, with its Total Value Locked (TVL) increasing by approximately 441% to $238 million as of September 4, 2025. The platform now supports over 200 applications and protocols, underscoring its position as a leading blockchain for RWAfi. The introduction of native USDC will allow users to transact directly with the stablecoin, eliminating the reliance on bridged assets such as USDC.e. This transition will be facilitated gradually through collaboration with ecosystem partners to ensure a smooth migration to native USDC. The deployment of CCTP V2 will enable the secure and efficient transfer of USDC across supported blockchains, providing a seamless experience for users and developers. This protocol utilizes a "burn and mint" mechanism to ensure that USDC can be moved between chains without the need for intermediaries or wrapped tokens. The benefits of this approach include faster finality, reduced transaction costs, and enhanced security—factors that are crucial for institutional adoption of blockchain-based financial services. Native USDC offers a regulated and fully reserved digital dollar redeemable 1:1 for US dollars. This feature aligns with Plume’s objective of providing a compliant and institutional-grade environment for onchain finance. The integration also supports the use of USDC in a variety of RWAfi applications, such as collateralizing real-world assets, facilitating tokenized asset settlements, and enabling institutional on/offramps through services like Circle Mint. These capabilities position Plume to further solidify its role as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralized markets. The transition from bridged USDC to native USDC will not disrupt the existing Stargate bridge, which will continue to operate as normal. Bridged USDC will remain labeled as “USDC.e” in block explorers and across application interfaces. However, the availability of native USDC will eventually streamline cross-chain transactions by eliminating the need for third-party custody and reducing the complexity associated with bridged tokens. This shift is expected to attract more developers and institutions to build and operate on the Plume platform. Plume’s commitment to real-world asset finance is reinforced by the platform’s EVM compatibility, fast finality, and institutional-grade infrastructure. With the addition of native USDC and CCTP V2, the network is poised to unlock new opportunities in DeFi, social finance, and tokenized asset markets. As the ecosystem continues to expand, the integration of native USDC is anticipated to play a pivotal role in scaling onchain financial innovation while maintaining compliance and transparency for institutional participants.

Plume, a real-world assets finance blockchain backed by Brevan Howard Digital and Haun Ventures, has announced the upcoming integration of native USDC and cross-chain transfers to accelerate real-world assets and stablecoin adoption on the platform. Summary Plume will integrate native USDC and CCTP V2 The platform targets further adoption of real-word assets via the USDC stablecoin and cross-chain transfers. Plume said in an announcement that integrating Circle’s USDC ( USDC ) and Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol will help deliver an enhanced ecosystem that features faster cross-chain transfers for users. USDC and CCTP V2, a fully-reserved stablecoin settlement solution, will help Plume expand its capabilities across RWAfi and decentralized finance, the project noted. “Integrating native USDC and CCTP V2 into Plume is more than a technical milestone, it’s a catalyst for the next phase of real-world asset adoption,” said Teddy Pornprinya, chief business officer & co-founder of Plume. The move allows Plume to combine Circle’s global stablecoin with Plume’s real-world assets finance infrastructure to improve network speed, compliance and interoperability. Extending Plume’s product solution to other blockchains also aligns with the protocol’s vision for scaling onchain finance. Bridged USDC support to continue Plume’s network currently supports bridged USDC, or USDC.e via Stargate. While Plume plans to migrate from the Ethereum-bridged stablecoin, the team says Stargate will continue to operate normally. The bridged USDC will still work but will be clearly labeled as “USDC.e” across applications and in block explorers. Circle introduced CCTP V2 in March, with initial availability live on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, and OP Mainnet, among others. Multiple chains have since integrated CCTP V2, including Sei and Hyperliquid in July. Plume, whose mainnet launch was in early June, is the latest blockchain platform to tap into native USDC and the cross-chain transfer protocol. Growth for Plume since its Genesis mainnet includes a spike in total value locked to $238 million, a more than 400% increase from $44 million. The platform has also seen apps and protocols building onchain surge to over 200. The integration will bring not just a fully reserved stablecoin redeemable 1:1 for U.S. dollars but also enhanced institutional on/off-ramps such as Circle Mint. Plume integrated Agora’s U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin AUSD in June, with this among the moves aimed at unlocking decentralized finance benefits.
