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.
Connecting institutions to Plume’s RWA ecosystem
Cobo, a custody platform serving exchanges, tokenization providers, and payment companies, is linking its global institutional client base to Plume’s ecosystem of more than 180 RWA-focused projects. Many of these clients are Bitcoin-aligned: mining companies, BTC Layer 2s, BTCFi projects, and long-term Bitcoin holders.
The integration expands Cobo’s blockchain support and gives these institutions a secure pathway to bring Bitcoin capital into Plume’s compliance-focused RWA environment.
This positions BTC not only as a store of value but also as working collateral for tokenization, settlement, and credit applications.
Custody infrastructure for Bitcoin institutions
Cobo provides the wallet and custody tools that institutional Bitcoin holders require to participate safely in onchain markets, including MPC, custodial, smart contract, and exchange wallets. With ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certifications, its infrastructure aligns with traditional financial safeguards while enabling interaction with Plume’s RWA applications.
By serving as the technical enabler, Cobo connects Bitcoin-native institutions to Plume’s ecosystem of tokenized assets. Plume projects gain exposure to capital secured in BTC, while Cobo clients can access yield, diversification, and RWA exposure without leaving a custody-grade environment.
Ensuring Compliance, Providing Flexibility
Cobo is expanding its infrastructure for Plume by adding wallet functionalities, improving API connectivity, and building custody support for more complex strategies. These developments give Bitcoin institutions more flexibility to engage with RWAs on-chain while retaining operational standards required for audits and compliance.
Together, this brings Bitcoin more directly into tokenized markets, creating a pathway where BTC liquidity can support issuance, settlement, and credit within Plume’s ecosystem.
