From Treasuries to Tuk-tuks

August 26, 2025

From Treasuries to Tuk-tuks, asset diversity is the new signal of ecosystem health.

For years, tokenization has been stuck in a rut with the same assets – treasury bills, bond funds, and money markets. 

Ever tokenization platform boasts about “bringing real-world assets onchain,” but it’s always the same set of assets. But sameness doesn’t prove adoption or momentum. 

At Plume, we’re rewriting the playbook. If you want to know whether an ecosystem is truly alive, look at the things that matter. 

Today, we’re talking about the diversity of assets on Plume and why it’s important. 

More Assets, Healthier Ecosystem

Every time a new type of asset comes on Plume, it signals two things:

  1. Ease of Use: Issuers find it simple to tokenize here. If Plume weren’t frictionless, you wouldn’t see esoteric assets like mineral royalties, GPU compute, or reinsurance securities come alive onchain.
  2. Long-Term Confidence: People experiment with new assets on Plume because they believe in the roadmap, security, and health of the platform. They’re not here for a quick mirror of TradFi. That’s just not what we’re building. 

Here’s why our community loves us: 

  • For Asset Issuers: Plume’s UX makes tokenization straightforward, and our phased onboarding ensures security and scalability.
  • For DeFi Users: A diverse menu of assets means real choice, real strategies, and real yield. You’re not stuck with a single yield source on Plume. You can mix, match, and optimize your portfolio seamlessly.
  • For the RWA Ecosystem: More assets attract more users. More users attract more issuers. More issuers create more yield. The flywheel spins.

That’s why Plume has quickly become home to the most diverse asset ecosystem in RWAfi.

It’s intentional growth focused on the things that matter. 

When we say “life is better onchain,” we truly mean it. 


Nest by Plume: Where Diversity Meets Discipline

Our flagship protocol, Nest, brings real-world yield onchain in a way that’s simple, compliant, and composable.

  • How it works: You stake stables → the Nest vault buys institutional-grade assets → you earn yield.
  • What powers it: Tokenized Treasuries, private credit, secured debt, and ETFs. All curated like an index for diversified, risk-adjusted returns.
  • Why it matters: Every vault is 100% non-custodial, rigorously audited, and backed by regulated institutions.

This isn’t diversity without discipline. Assets in Nest are vetted for regulatory compliance, yield reliability, custodial security, onchain transparency, and institutional quality.

That means users get access to the best of TradFi yield, packaged for DeFi-native strategies.

While others stop at bonds and bills, Plume keeps going. If you take a peek at our vaults, you’ll find an entire ecosystem of diverse assets – more than any other platform, in fact.

  • Mineral Vault (Allegiance Oil & Gas): Exposure to natural resource royalties like crude oil, natural gas, and metals. These have traditionally been inaccessible and are now tokenized and usable as DeFi collateral. ~10% APY (Nest Alpha Vault)
  • BlackRock BUIDL: Tokenized U.S. Treasuries with ~4.5% APY(Nest Institutional Vault)
  • Blackstone SRLN: Floating-rate loan ETF, ~7.9% APY (Nest Institutional Vault)
  • Goldfinch Prime: Private fintech credit, ~10% APY (Nest Credit Vault)

This is the breadth that makes Plume different: Treasuries on one end, tuk-tuks on the other.

And because everything is composable, users can borrow against Treasuries to buy private credit, trade GPU yield for mineral royalties, or blend stable income with non-traditional, high-growth assets.

The Bottom Line

Diversity isn’t just cosmetic. It’s what makes Plume sticky.

190,000+ RWA holders have chosen Plume. Not because we look like everyone else. But because we don’t. 

Tokenization isn’t about copy-pasting Wall Street’s playbook. It’s about rewriting it.

On Plume, diversity is proof of momentum, proof of usability, and proof of trust. The more varied the assets, the stronger the ecosystem becomes.

Sameness is dead.

Plume gives new life to RWAs.
