Securitize Partners With Plume to Bring Institutional-Grade Assets to DeFi

Tokenization leader Securitize is partnering with Plume to launch institutional-grade assets on Plume’s Nest staking protocol, expanding its presence in the DeFi ecosystem.

The collaboration connects Securitize’s tokenized funds—backed by BlackRock and Morgan Stanley—to Plume’s network of over 280,000 real-world asset (RWA) holders, one of the largest on-chain RWA communities globally. This provides Securitize’s assets with a new, robust on-chain venue for trading, yield generation, and liquidity at scale, all within Securitize’s regulated and fully auditable framework.

Plume’s Nest protocol enables investors to move, trade, and earn yield on tokenized assets within a compliant, composable DeFi environment, leveraging Bluprynt’s Know-Your-Issuer verification system to enhance transparency and trust.

“Through Plume, we’re connecting institutional-grade assets to one of the largest communities of on-chain RWA holders in the world,” said Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and CEO of Securitize. “This partnership marks a major step toward truly global, transparent, and accessible digital capital markets.”

Teddy Pornprinya, Plume co-founder and CBO, highlighted the importance of distribution, liquidity, and composability for tokenized assets. “Securitize sets the gold standard in compliant issuance. Plume delivers the distribution, liquidity, and composability layer that brings these assets to life in DeFi,” he said.

The rollout begins with Hamilton Lane funds and will expand through 2026, targeting $100 million in capital. Additionally, Bitcoin finance platform Solv plans to invest up to $10 million in Plume’s RWA vaults, broadening BTC-based yield offerings tied to regulated real-world assets.

Ryan Chow, CEO of Solv Protocol, emphasized Bitcoin’s role in yield-bearing on-chain markets: “As regulated on-chain markets emerge, Bitcoin will underpin a new generation of yield, credit, and liquidity infrastructure, where demand for yield-bearing BTC with RWA-backed yields becomes the next phase of institutional adoption.”
