Permissionless IV in New York confirmed what we’ve believed all along: Real World Asset Finance (RWAfi) isn’t the future — it’s the now
Across exclusive gatherings, high-signal panels, and a celebration inside the Empire State Building, Plume led the charge in shaping what’s next for tokenized capital markets.
Here’s what went down:
🍷 June 23: VIP RWA Dinner with Fidelity Digital Asset Management
We kicked off Permissionless week with an intimate, invitation-only dinner co-hosted by Plume and Fidelity Digital Asset Management. Held in a private venue with sweeping skyline views, this VIP gathering brought together investors, key partners, and early supporters.
Over cocktails and a multi-course meal, the room aligned on a shared thesis: RWAfi is becoming the backbone of institutional crypto adoption, and Plume is building the infrastructure layer. Quiet deals were made. Bold ideas were shared. And the tone was set for a high-impact week.
🏛️ June 24: Dumbo Dev House – A Builder-Focused Day with D3
Hosted at the iconic Dumbo House overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge, Dumbo Dev House was a curated gathering of developers, product leads, and technical founders from across Web3.
Plume’s Kristina Tubera, Developer Relations Lead, took the stage with a talk on “The Future of RWAfi,” diving into composable vaults, permissionless infra, and the long-term vision for asset accessibility. Other sessions included panels on seed-stage investing, liquidity management post-TGE, and domain tokenization from D3.
🍻 June 24: Real World Beers – Tokenized Capital Markets
As the sun set on Tuesday, Real World Beers brought together allocators, issuers, and RWA builders for a night of conversation over craft brews and curated bites.
Plume’s Head of Strategic Partnerships, Luke Xiao, joined a panel of RWA trailblazers including Atticus Francken and Mustafa Al Niama, exploring how tokenized assets are reshaping capital markets. The evening offered high-signal networking, live project showcases, and zero fluff.
🧠 June 26: Injective Summit – Building the Financial Backbone of Tomorrow
Plume’s Teddy Pornprinya represented the network at Injective Summit as part of a mainstage panel on building the next generation of financial infrastructure.
Hosted by Messari’s Armita Jalooli and joined by leaders from Sonic and Douro Labs, the panel explored composability, regulation, and what it means to architect truly global financial rails. Teddy spoke on the convergence of DeFi and TradFi, and hinted at a future collaboration between Plume and Injective focused on unlocking new layers of tokenized asset utility.
🏙️ June 26: Plume NYC Office Opening – A Milestone Moment
The week peaked with our official NYC office opening party, hosted in the heart of Manhattan at the Empire State Building.
With 360° views of the skyline and a guest list full of builders, investors, and longtime collaborators, this wasn’t just a party - it was a milestone. It marked Plume’s physical and strategic expansion into the world’s financial capital.
From early ideation to opening an office in one of the most iconic buildings in the world, the moment was as symbolic as it was celebratory.
Our Takeaway from Permissionless NYC
From co-hosting with Fidelity to developer workshops, strategic panels, and high-touch moments in the Empire State Building, Plume isn’t just participating in RWAfi - we’re defining the category.
The signal is strong. The capital is ready. Mainnet is here.
Let’s keep building.
