With Centrifuge V3 launching on Plume, the future of real-world asset tokenization gets faster, more regulated—and more composable Centrifuge has officially launched on Plume, the blockchain built specifically for real-world assets (RWAs). The integration marks the first deployment of Centrifuge V3, enabling native issuance, investment, and lifecycle management of tokenized financial products across Plume’s rapidly growing ecosystem. The collaboration is a heavy-hitting union of momentum and maturity. Centrifuge has already helped tokenize nearly $1 billion in assets, providing the foundation for structured DeFi credit, institutional-grade issuance, and next-gen liquidity products. Meanwhile, Plume is quickly emerging as the RWA chain to watch, with 200+ ecosystem partners and backing from institutional titans like Apollo Global and Galaxy Digital. This is where infrastructure meets distribution—and tokenization hits scale. A Plug-and-Play Future for Tokenized Assets At the heart of this alliance is Plume Arc, the chain’s native tokenization engine, now powered by Centrifuge’s RWA Launchpad. The upgrade allows asset managers to launch programmable, composable RWA products with plug-and-play simplicity. Whether tapping into Anemoy, Centrifuge’s white-glove service arm, or building directly with the Launchpad, issuers now have a streamlined route to regulated onchain offerings. “We’ve always been focused on building the strongest RWA community & ecosystem,” said Chris Yin, CEO of Plume. “Centrifuge has a long history of pioneering tokenization standards. Partnering with them allows us to offer an integrated platform for asset issuers to build, grow, and scale in ways that weren’t possible before.” This isn’t their first dance. Centrifuge and Plume have already worked together to onboard Janus Henderson’s Anemoy Treasury Fund (JTRSY) as collateral for Nest Vaults—giving institutional players access to real-world yield from regulated sources. A Wake-Up Call to Asset Managers The launch couldn’t be more timely. Tokenized assets are on pace to exceed $16 trillion by 2030, according to Boston Consulting Group. As legacy players increasingly explore blockchain rails to modernize products and tap into global liquidity, ecosystems like Plume—powered by hardened infrastructure like Centrifuge—are becoming the go-to rails. “Plume is setting the bar for how distribution and ecosystem strategy should work in tokenized finance,” said Bhaji Illuminati, CEO of Centrifuge. “They’ve brought together asset managers and investors in one of the most engaged communities we’ve seen. We’re excited to provide the tech that helps power that next wave of innovation.” With both Plume and Centrifuge laser-focused on real utility—not just crypto-native speculation—the partnership doubles down on the idea that the next generation of financial products won’t just be digital—they’ll be programmable, transparent, and globally accessible from day one. Welcome to onchain finance, finally done right.
