EtherFi will integrate Plume’s Nest vaults, beginning with exposure to a Superstate-backed fund and expanding to a dedicated RWA vault within its platform. EtherFi has allocated $25 million to Plume’s real-world asset (RWA) protocol Nest, marking a move to integrate tokenized RWA yield directly into its platform as it looks to expand beyond crypto-native sources of return. According to Thursday’s announcement, rollout will begin with exposure to Plume’s nBASIS vault, which is tied to Superstate’s USCC crypto carry fund, with plans to add a dedicated real-world asset vault directly into EtherFi’s interface in a later phase. The initial allocation gives EtherFi users indirect exposure to a strategy combining crypto basis trades, staking rewards and government securities, a structure traditionally available only to institutional or sophisticated investors.

Plume says that Securitize, a tokenization platform backed by BlackRock and Morgan Stanley, has inked a deal to deploy institutional-grade assets on Plume’s Nest staking protocol. The real-world asset (RWA) market value could more than triple by 2026, as it expands beyond crypto-native use cases and utility, according to Chris Yin, co-founder and CEO of RWA-focused layer-2 blockchain Plume.  Speaking to Cointelegraph, Yin said that RWA value has taken off in the last year and he expects it to increase by three to five times in 2026, as a base case.  “Currently, we are tracking to over 10x the RWA holders number since the start of the year and so we expect us to keep inflecting and we think it’s not crazy to imagine another banner year with 25x+ in user growth numbers,” he said.  Read more

Tokenization alone does not create value. Without integration into crypto-native systems where assets are liquid, composable, and actively used, most RWAs will remain static representations rather than functional components of a larger financial network. Stablecoins proved that adoption follows utility, rather than the other way around. Stablecoins succeeded because they solved real problems for crypto users, not because they resembled familiar financial instruments. Plume is built with that principle in mind. By focusing on infrastructure, applications, and community, it aims to create an environment where tokenized real-world assets can be used from day one. Rather than porting traditional finance onchain, the goal is to enable new types of financial activity that emerge because assets are onchain — not in spite of it. The result is not just tokenized RWAs, but usable onchain assets that align with how crypto actually works.
