Funding Accelerates Development of Full-Stack RWA Infrastructure and Reinforces Plume's Position as a Leader in RWAfi NEW YORK – Plume, the first modular blockchain purpose-built for Real World Assets (RWAs), announced today a strategic investment from funds managed by Apollo, one of the world’s leading alternative asset managers. The funding marks a pivotal moment for the RWAfi space, enabling Plume to accelerate its mission to make tokenized RWAs as composable, liquid, and accessible as any native crypto asset. Plume is building an EVM-compatible ecosystem that allows tokenized traditional financial instruments—such as carbon credits, private equity, collectibles, and even GPUs—to interact with decentralized finance (DeFi) tools in a seamless and programmable way. This investment will further Plume’s development of full-stack infrastructure, expanding its ability to support a wide range of asset issuers and institutional players. With a growing appetite for onchain utility and digitized ownership of real world assets, Plume has already demonstrated strong ecosystem momentum. Its testnet surpassed 18 million wallets and onboarded over 200 protocols, positioning the network as one of the most dynamic environments for RWA experimentation and adoption. “Our investment in Plume underscores Apollo’s focus on technologies that broaden access to institutional-quality products and create more seamless, innovative client experiences,” said Christine Moy, Partner and Head of Digital Assets at Apollo. “As private assets and funds increasingly move on-chain, Plume represents a new kind of infrastructure focused on digital asset utility, investor engagement, and next-generation financial solutions.” Unlike legacy RWA protocols that stop at tokenization, Plume is designed to unlock the utility of RWAs by embedding them into the fabric of the crypto economy. Once onboarded, these assets can be swapped, lent, borrowed against, or used in smart contracts like any crypto-native asset—offering a practical solution to one of the sector’s biggest hurdles: usability. “We’re excited to have Apollo support our mission to bring RWAs onchain,” said Teddy Pornprinya, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer at Plume. “We’ve always believed that RWAs are more than just tokenization. The challenge is not in getting assets onchain, but in making them truly useful once they’re there. With Plume, we’re creating an environment where any asset issuer can seamlessly connect to liquidity, community, and distribution, generating value in ways previously impossible.” With this investment, Plume is well-positioned to catalyze the next wave of adoption for real world assets on blockchain. As institutional capital continues to flow into the digital asset sector, the infrastructure that enables these assets to behave like crypto-native tools will play a defining role in the financial system of the future.
