We're excited to see Animoca Brands Research publish the Digital Assets Outlook 2026. The report brings together perspectives from industry leaders across TradFi and crypto, including WisdomTree, Chainlink Labs, Fireblocks, HashKey Group, OKX, and several others shaping onchain markets. In the report, our Co-Founder and CEO Chris Yin outlines why regulation is central to the next phase of RWA development. As compliance, custody, and settlement standards solidify, RWAs can participate more meaningfully in onchain markets with the usability expected from traditional fintech. Head to pages 18–19 for Chris's perspective.

Plume has submitted detailed comments to the Bermuda Monetary Authority in response to its discussion paper on asset tokenization from November 2025. This submission is part of our global initiative to support safe and secure tokenized RWA markets through balanced regulatory policy, and we commend the BMA’s leadership in this area. Our comments focus on five key areas: → Plume's commitment to Bermuda → Strong support for principles-based regulation → Tailored framework for tokenized investments → Non-custodial innovation and embedded compliance → Risk mitigation and investor protection proposals As RWA policy evolves, the goal is clear: enable safe, compliant onchain capital markets that can scale globally without recreating legacy inefficiencies.

What does institutional-grade compliance for RWAs look like? That’s the question Predicate helped the Plume team answer for its Nest vault platform. Nest enables investors to earn yield from tokenized assets issued by leading institutions like WisdomTree and Apollo Global Management, Inc. The core challenge was clear: Institutional issuers won’t issue assets on vaults unless every deposit is pre-screened for illicit activity and sanctions exposure. Traditional AML tools weren’t built for smart contracts, and static risk data couldn’t prevent high-risk deposits from actually executing. Predicate solved the problem with programmable policy. We worked with Plume to design and implement real-time AML and sanctions controls at the smart contract level, using TRM Labs wallet risk scoring and Plume’s own internal whitelists. Predicate screens every incoming deposit to prevent malicious actors from getting access, with sub-second latency to preserve UX. The results for Plume and Nest: - 198 tokenized assets from 14 institutional partners live - $84M+ compliant TVL - 1.5M+ Nest deposits screened since launch This is what it takes for RWAs to scale on public chains: compliance guarantees that satisfy institutional risk teams without breaking onchain UX. As Alex Palmer, Head of Regulatory Product Strategy at Plume, put it: “App and smart contract-level compliance could have been a huge operational burden for us, but Predicate simplified it so we could focus on the product and scaling it across every ecosystem seamlessly. The results speak for themselves.”

Today, Plume was featured in The New York Times as part of a deeper look into where crypto, regulation, and traditional finance are converging. The piece highlights the less visible side of tokenization: working within regulatory frameworks, building compliant infrastructure, and taking the long term approach required to responsibly bring real-world assets onchain. For months, our team has been engaging with regulators, policymakers, and institutional partners to help define a viable path for tokenized assets in the U.S. and globally. We’re proud of the progress so far and grateful to the founders, operators, and partners helping move this space forward.

Institutional adoption of blockchain is evolving — and alt-L1s are playing a bigger role. This Wednesday, we’re bringing together leaders from VeChain, Aleo, and Plume Network to discuss what’s actually driving enterprise decisions today, from privacy-first infrastructure and RWA tokenization to compliance-native design and production-scale deployments. Speakers: Johnny G. (VeChain Foundation), Howard Wu (Aleo), Ivy Kang (Plume) Moderator: Sacha Ghebali (The Tie) https://lnkd.in/e695FcJm

Plume has received a commercial license from Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) Registration Authority, allowing us to establish a business entity and begin expanding our presence in the UAE. The Middle East is rapidly becoming a global hub for real-world asset tokenization, and this milestone supports our broader strategy following recent SEC Transfer Agent registration in the United States.

Excited to share that I've been featured on Forbes 30 under 30 list! Proud of the world-class team we have at Plume. It's an honor to work alongside Chris Yin and our entire team as we push for the mass adoption of real world assets onchain. Since our inception, we’ve raised capital from top VCs — including Apollo Global Management, Inc., Haun Ventures, YZi Labs, Galaxy, Lightspeed Faction, Brevan Howard, and others — secured SEC approval as a transfer agent, partnered with Apollo, Securitize, and WisdomTree to bring institutional assets to RWAfi, and grown to over 280K holders, making us the largest on-chain RWA community in the world. Never been more optimistic about the crypto space and future of RWAs as tailwinds are stronger than ever and institutional folks keep rotating into the space. https://lnkd.in/etn5_XNh

Plume has joined the Arc Public Testnet. Arc, built by Circle, is creating the Economic OS for the internet. As the first RWAfi platform backed by the largest RWA community, Plume is bringing Nest and institutional issuers to Arc to help power onchain capital markets. Together, we’re expanding secure, compliant, and composable infrastructure for RWAs. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ecCJwH5N
