How Does RWAfi Provide Stable, Real World Yield? For years, crypto yields have worked the same way: ? A protocol launches and emits tokens ? It incentivizes users and liquidity with these tokens ? This fuels temporary growth until the token emissions run dry At that point, both users and capital move on to the next protocol, leaving the old one in the dust. This is the flaw of endogenous yield. It is built on short-lived token incentives, not real value. ? The problem with unsustainable yield... When a protocol starts a massive token emission program, this yield is not backed by anything. It is just newly minted tokens. For a while, everything seems fine. However it is almost guaranteed users will leave when most tokens have been farmed. The protocol will slowly collapse, and its token trends toward zero. This cycle repeats endlessly, with users and liquidity moving on the next hot thing. ? Real returns from the real world... Now, imagine a different model where yields do not rely on endless emissions. Instead users earn from real world economic activity. This is a type of exogenous yield. Returns are generated from real assets like tokenized treasuries, corporate bonds, energy markets, or commodities. With exogenous yield: ? Yield don’t dry up because it comes from real world cash flows ? Protocols last longer because they are not dependent on emissions ? Users stay because the returns are stable and backed by real assets ? Plume is the bridge to real yield. Plume and the flagship staking protocol Nest are building a new way to earn yield that does not rely on pure speculation. Plume connects RWAfi to sustainable revenue sources. If you're tired of chasing the next yield farm, it's time to move to something real.

The hard truth: Stablecoins are the original RWAs, and are more useful than Bitcoin for most people. But they don't offer any real yield to holders. ?? Despite that huge limitation, here’s why $230 billion in stablecoins like USDT and USDC matter more than $1.9 trillion in Bitcoin: ?? Latin America (LATAM): Stablecoins are seen as digital dollars and a hedge against inflation. They are used for savings and daily transactions, with a volume three times that of Bitcoin. ?? Africa: In regions with weak banking, stablecoins are a lifeline. They are used for remittances and commerce, with lower volatility than Bitcoin. ?? Middle East: USD-pegged stablecoins are trusted for borderless payments. ?? Europe: Businesses are integrating stablecoins for finance and commerce, surpassing Bitcoin in payments. ?? North America: With $100 billion in total value locked, stablecoins are gaining ground. Bitcoin remains a popular investment. ?? Asia-Pacific (APAC): Stablecoins are becoming the default for decentralized finance. Bitcoin is popular but stablecoins are growing. ? What does this mean for RWAs? As more people trust onchain USD, more people trust real world assets. This shift in attitude opens the door for broader adoption of RWA-backed stablecoins and tokenized assets. If Plume brings more RWAs onchain as yield-bearing tokens, do you think more DeFi degens will rotate into RWAfi? Let us know in the comments...

The Plume team is at ETHDenver this week, hosting a full schedule of events. But a few days ago, Chris Yin shared at Penn Blockchain Conference why RWAs are crucial for mass adoption. Learn in 2 minutes why builders, businesses, and users are choosing Plume for RWAfi ?? 2/3 - General vs. Application-specific Chains Plume is a people-first RWA chain and ecosystem, designed for today's crypto-native user and tomorrow's mainstream retail user. The main types of real-world assets are: - Collectibles (art, sneakers, watches, etc.) - Alternative assets (energy, real estate, agriculture, etc.) - Financial assets (treasury bills, equities, private debt, etc.) When tokenized, these onchain assets are available to earn, trade, and speculate on. Each blockchain has its focus and culture, but for RWAs: + For business, Plume is the easiest network to bring assets onchain. + For people, Plume is the best place be onchain and engage with crypto backed by RWAs. Watch our keynote at ETHGlobal Pragma San Francisco to better understand Plume's vision: https://lnkd.in/gQKp-Dhu 3/3 - A New Generation of RWAs. Crypto's addressable market faces limitations in its current form, yield is driven by speculation and volatility, and DeFi is too complicated for most users. The next wave of real adoption means solving fundamental issues: most of the world still lacks banking, and lacks access to stable, accessible financial products. Stablecoins solve a real problem, which is why they have demand. For example in emerging markets, USD-pegged stables help protect savings from devaluation compared to holding savings in local currencies. Many institutions aren't looking to buy tokens, but to sell financial products. But bringing these traditional assets onchain doesn't matter if people can't access them. Plume is bridging this gap with access to both crypto markets and high-yield real assets. Watch our podcast with WisdomTree as an example how we're doing this: https://lnkd.in/gN47kTjZ

The Plume team wrapped up a productive week at the Consensus 2025 conference in Hong Kong, and we're now heading to ETHDenver! We've had fantastic discussions on the state of asset tokenization, RWAs, and regulation in Asia. Here are our top 4 highlights and takeaways ?? 1) Our VIP evening was co-hosted with Cobo. Asset tokenization was a hot topic, particularly for RWAs like PayFi, private credit, real estate, and commodities. Hong Kong aims to be a center for these projects, bringing traditional finance onchain. 2) At 'RWA in Consensus' hosted by HashKey Group and Starbase Accelerator, we explored the topic 'RWA Compliance: From Onchain Issuance to Global Circulation', tackling how tokenization is bridging finance and regulation. On stage with us were Google Cloud, Pharos, & CPICIM HK. 3) HKD-pegged stablecoins were discussed as a practical tool for digital payments and trade. Sessions suggested more policy support to grow their role in Hong Kong’s economy, balancing innovation and stability. We discussed this previously... https://lnkd.in/gSgZ9wNn 4) No crypto conference would be complete without talking about Artificial Intelligence! AI’s potential in tokenization came up, with talks on its use for RWA valuation and contract automation. Thank you Hong Kong! We'll be back in April for Web3 Festival ??

How Are Real World Assets Tokenized on Plume? Tokenization turns real world assets (RWAs) – like oil, real estate, or solar energy farms – into digital tokens on the blockchain, making them easier to buy, sell, and trade. But how does the process actually work, and can it be trusted? 1. Verify the Asset The asset is checked for ownership, value, and legal status before being tokenized. Plume Arc simplifies this process by providing a unified platform with 50+ modular features for registering RWAs onchain. 2. Ensure Compliance RWAs must follow financial laws. Plume Arc integrates compliance tools like KYC/KYB, custody, and on/off-ramps, ensuring assets meet regulations from day one. 3. Create Digital Tokens The asset is converted into crypto tokens, which can be fractionalized so more people can buy them. 4. Trade and Manage Tokens Tokens can be bought, sold, or transferred instantly. Plume Nexus Data Highway ensures accurate, real-time data flow, keeping asset information secure and up to date. 5. Hold or Redeem the Asset Users can trade tokens, hold them, or redeem them for the real asset. Code in smart contracts automates transactions safely without needing any middle parties. Plume makes it easier for businesses to bring RWAs onchain. Tokenization makes RWAs more accessible, but challenges like regulations, technical complexity, and liquidity have slowed adoption. Plume’s full-stack solution solves this with: - Plume Arc – A complete tokenization platform with 50+ built-in compliance and asset management tools - Plume Nexus Data Highway – A secure data infrastructure for smooth tokenization and trading - Plume RWA Chain - A scalable blockchain designed for large-scale RWA adoption
