Key Highlights
- On October 27, Wormhole announced that it has officially integrated Wormhole as an interoperability provider for Plume
- The integration will allow users to transfer assets between Plume and more than 40 blockchains
- Despite new developments, the PLUME token has recently faced a sharp decline of 25.89%
Plume, an EVM-compatible blockchain network designed specifically for the tokenization and trading of real-world assets (RWAs), has arrived on Wormhole, which is an interoperability layer for digital assets.
Amid the boom in the RWAs, this integration is expected to boost the concept of tokenization with efficient tools.
This development comes after Plume Network registered as a SEC-regulated transfer agent to manage tokenized securities.
What is Plume and Why Does it Matter?
Plume is an EVM-compatible blockchain designed for institutional RWAs. Launched in 2024 with $10 million from big names like Haun Ventures, Galaxy, and Brevan Howard Digital, it tackles the “silo problem” in DeFi. The reason behind this is that traditional assets like private credit, ETFs, and gold are often stuck in permissioned platforms, which is far from on-chain efficiency.
Plume allows you to tokenize these assets via audited smart contracts, embeds compliance (KYC/AML built-in), and integrates DeFi yields without any middle party.
Over $502 million in transfers in 30 days, 204,000 RWA holders, and up to 15% APY via AI tools like Gaib AI for yield optimization.
According to CoinMarketCap, its native token, PLUME, has dropped by 26.22%, hitting $0.07337 with a market capitalization of $229.59 million. One can think of Plume as an “Ethereum for real-world finance” with scalable SDKs for devs and a focus on interoperability.
Wormhole Integration Details
Wormhole, the leading provider of cross-chain bridges, has moved over $40 billion across more than 40 blockchains in 2025, from Ethereum and Solana to Arbitrum, Base, and Cosmos. Its Guardian Network uses multi-sig validation with VAA (Verifiable Action Approvals) for security.
However, earlier, Wormhole suffered a massive hack in 2023 after an unknown hacker exploited a vulnerability in the Wormhole Network.
Today’s live integration will introduce new capabilities for asset transfers. It will allow users to move tokenized RWAs from Plume to any Wormhole on supported chains. For example, transfer a tokenized Apple stock ETF from Plume to Solana.
Wormhole Connect allows users to build multichain decentralized applications (dApps). Integrate RWAs into Uniswap or Pendle without wrappers, using NTT (Native Token Transfers).
Plume’s RWAs carry compliance metadata across bridges, ensuring regulatory compliance.
Wormhole’s Portal Bridge now supports Plume, with Galxe quests offering PLUME airdrops to incentivize adoption. This integration is expected to scale its total value locked (TVL) from $200 million to potentially $1 billion in cross-chain liquidity within months.
The Rise of RWAs in Recent Months
The Plume-Wormhole integration comes amid a recent boom in RWAs, as it is becoming a dominant force in 2025 with a market capitalization of $62 billion. The reason behind this impressive growth is its capability to provide 24/7 liquidity with fractional ownership and transparent on-chain records.
For example, BlackRock, the global leader in asset management, is investigating methods to integrate one of Wall Street’s most prominent investment vehicles into the blockchain system.
According to the latest report, the New York-based firm is evaluating the tokenization of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to real-world assets, such as equities, pending regulatory approval.
This initiative builds on BlackRock’s earlier projects in the digital asset sector. In 2024, the firm introduced its tokenized money-market fund, BUIDL, which has amassed over $2 billion in assets and gained significant adoption across cryptocurrency platforms.
