Plume Taps Sony’s Soneium Blockchain to Bring Real-World Yield to Over 5 Million Users

With SkyLink, the RWA revolution gets a boost from one of the biggest tech names in the world NEW YORK — In a major win for the real-world asset (RWA) movement, Plume has announced a strategic partnership with Soneium, a next-gen Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs. The goal? To bring yield from tokenized U.S. Treasuries and private credit directly into the wallets of millions of users through SkyLink, Plume’s native interoperability protocol. This alliance represents a powerful fusion of traditional finance, institutional-grade infrastructure, and mainstream consumer adoption. The integration will allow Soneium’s 5.1 million+ users to passively access asset-backed yield products—without ever leaving their chain. From Treasuries to Tokens, RWA Just Got Real At the center of this rollout is SkyLink, Plume’s cross-chain interoperability engine that lets value and yield from real-world assets flow seamlessly across ecosystems. Think of it as the “plumbing” of the RWAfi revolution—connecting regulated, tokenized assets on Plume to Layer-2s like Soneium, without compromising on compliance or security. “The future of RWAfi isn’t just about assets living on a single chain,” said Chris Yin, CEO of Plume. “It’s about yield flowing to wherever the users are. And with Soneium, we’re unlocking a powerful new distribution channel for onchain, real-world yield.” Sony Steps In—And That Changes Everything Soneium isn’t just another Layer-2. It’s Sony’s flagship blockchain project, developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs (SBSL), a joint venture between Sony Group Corporation and Startale Group. It’s designed with consumers and creators in mind, targeting sectors like digital identity, anime, mini-apps, and gaming. With recent collaborations including Solo Leveling, Moca Network, and blockchain-native LINE integrations, Soneium is fast becoming a gateway for mainstream adoption. “Tokenized yield has long been a missing piece in consumer Web3,” said Ryohei Suzuki, Director at SBSL. “By integrating with Plume and SkyLink, we’re giving our ecosystem something tangible—something that makes blockchain relevant to everyday financial behavior.” An RWA Network, Not Just a Chain This partnership is also a vote of confidence in Plume’s bigger vision: a full-stack RWAfi chain where real-world yield doesn’t just sit locked on a native network, but moves across chains to meet demand where it exists. In doing so, Plume is shaping a future where any Layer-2—whether built for finance, entertainment, or social use—can become a yield-generating zone. Plume’s SkyLink architecture provides the trustless interoperability and security required to scale RWAfi, while the Sony brand brings the user base, credibility, and distribution power to drive it.
