Plume Network Bridges Real-World Assets to DeFi
Designed to fit the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Plume Network lets a range of assets like carbon credits, GPUs, and other financial instruments be included into the decentralized finance ecosystem.
CEO and co-founder of Plume Chris Yin clarified that RWA on the blockchain is still challenging to apply due of several obstacles. Plume presents a solution since it gives asset issuers simpler access and a more flexible infrastructure.
This allows institutions or people wishing to enter the Web3 sphere to do so free from the technical constraints that have been a barrier.
“At YZi Labs, we invest in projects that harness blockchain technology to create real-world impact, and Plume is a prime example—they are bringing real-world assets on-chain to unlock new capital, expand access, and drive adoption. By making RWAs as seamless as any other digital asset, Plume is bridging traditional finance and DeFi, paving the way for broader adoption. We’re excited to support them in advancing the RWAfi ecosystem,” said Max Coniglio, Investment Director at YZi Labs.
RWA TVL Soars as Interest in Tokenization Grows
RWA projects’ total value locked (TVL) has surged by more than 237% in the past few months. This number captures the increasing curiosity of investors about actual tokenized assets. The sector’s TVL peaked last week at $9.9 billion, alone.
One expects Plume Network to be quite important in this development. With a more suitable architecture for actual asset integration, the initiative could let more traditional banks join the blockchain space.
From AI to Time Tokenization: YZi Labs’ Strategic Bets
YZi Labs had also made investments in Tensorplex Labs before supporting Plume Network. This startup uses a blockchain-based decentralized artificial intelligence development concentration.
To assist in training AI models and controlling their infrastructure, Tensorplex creates several products, including Tensorplex Dojo and Backprop Finance. This project seeks to hasten the advancement of technology capable of more effectively bridging the connection between humans and artificial intelligence.
On the other hand, CNF has also reported that YZi Labs is looking at time tokenizing MVP based on BNB/BSC. This platform is meant to let KOLs and advisers use blockchain-based transactions to profit from their knowledge.
The platform is supposed to boost trustworthiness and lower spam that often exists in online consulting services by means of on-chain verification.
PLUME and BNB Surges Following YZi Labs Investment
Not long after the investment announcement, the PLUME token’s value shot up more than 20%. This indicates that YZi Labs’ actions in helping RWA on the blockchain grow favorably on the market.
In addition to the PLUME token, Binance Chain’s native token, BNB, also strengthened. It rose 1.11% over the last 24 hours and 17.95% over the last 7 days to about $634.63.
Should this trend continue, Plume Network is not unlikely to take center stage as one of the key platforms bringing actual assets into the crypto space.
