This is part of an ongoing case study series "Bitcoin At Work," highlighting the success of Real-World Bitcoin builders on Plume.
Plume’s Real-World Bitcoin mission is simple: turn Bitcoin from the world’s largest idle asset into the backbone of institutional-grade, onchain finance.
By bridging BTC directly into tokenized real-world assets, Plume delivers institutional-grade RWAs with steady, scalable yield.
Turning Bitcoin Into an Institutional Yield Asset
BounceBit, the CeDeFi platform, is reframing Bitcoin from a passive reserve into a productive, yield-bearing instrument. By combining off-exchange settlement, delta-neutral positioning, and exposure to tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), BounceBit demonstrates how BTC can function as both collateral and a productive asset.
Structured Yield with Real-World Bitcoin
Plume provides the infrastructure for BounceBit to scale these strategies. Features such as native BTC settlement and cross-chain compliance reduce operational friction and help institutions deploy capital without compromising security. The integration of RWAs creates additional yield opportunities that align with regulatory frameworks.
For institutional users, BounceBit’s model embeds BTC in structured strategies designed to deliver stable, predictable returns with limited market exposure. EVM compatibility ensures composability with other DeFi protocols, while off-exchange settlement helps mitigate custodial risks.
Making Real-World Bitcoin Core to Institutional Portfolios
BounceBit has reached over $1B in peak TVL and currently manages about $500M, reflecting sustained interest in BTC-backed yield products. Development priorities now include:
- Expanding RWA partnerships beyond Franklin Templeton and BlackRock
- Diversifying yield sources and introducing additional delta-neutral strategies
- Enabling seamless BTC settlement on Plume
- Strengthening integrations with custodians, exchanges, and asset managers
The longer-term objective is to integrate real world Bitcoin more fully into institutional portfolios, positioning Bitcoin not only as a secure reserve but also as a consistent source of yield within compliant, structured frameworks.
