Plume, a RWA Onchain L1, Raises Undisclosed Funding from YZi Labs (ex-Binance Labs)

March 17, 2025

Plume, a blockchain platform designed for real-world asset (RWA) finance, has received an investment from YZi Labs. The funding will be used to enhance Plume’s modular blockchain infrastructure, which facilitates the tokenization of traditional financial instruments, carbon credits, alternative assets, and other RWAs. Built to support both institutional and retail adoption, Plume provides an EVM-compatible environment that integrates these assets into a broader decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

Plume has seen significant engagement, with its testnet surpassing 18 million wallets and more than 180 projects building on the network. The platform enables users to interact with tokenized assets in various ways, including trading, lending, and borrowing. With this investment, Plume intends to accelerate institutional partnerships and expand its presence in emerging markets while further developing its asset onboarding and liquidity solutions.

Plume aims to address a key challenge in the RWA sector by providing infrastructure that allows asset issuers to transition to blockchain technology without requiring deep technical expertise. The network’s tokenization engine and ecosystem partners streamline the process of bringing real-world assets on-chain, making them accessible to both traditional financial players and crypto-native users.
