Summary

Plume, a modular RWA-focused layer 2 blockchain, has partnered with Securitize to roll out institutional-grade assets on its Nest staking protocol. This collaboration links BlackRock and Morgan Stanley-backed Securitize’s tokenized funds to Plume’s network of over 280,000 real-world asset holders, offering a regulated and composable DeFi environment. The launch begins with Hamilton Lane funds, aiming for $100 million in capital by 2026. Bitcoin finance platform Solv will invest up to $10 million in Plume’s RWA vaults to expand BTC-based yield options.
