Plume today launches the Global Real-World Asset Alliance, a cross-industry initiative uniting issuers, platforms, regulators, and infrastructure providers to accelerate tokenized asset adoption through education, distribution, and on-chain use cases.
The founding members of the Alliance include WisdomTree, DigiFT, Morpho, Nest, TopNod, Centrifuge, Gate Web3, Mercado Bitcoin, RWA.xyz, OSL and Bitget Wallet.
Tokenized RWAs, spanning treasuries, credit, and commodities, represent one of the fastest-growing categories in finance. Yet growth has been constrained by fragmented infrastructure, inconsistent tokenization standards, and limited distribution.
Plume has already demonstrated strong traction, coordinating approximately $577.8 million in total value locked (TVL) with more than 90% utilization on tokenized treasury vaults. Non-stablecoin RWA wallets on Plume account for over 50% of the global total across public blockchains, including Ethereum and Solana.
"The launch of the Global RWA Alliance marks an important step toward unifying a fragmented ecosystem," said Shukyee Ma, Chief Strategy Officer at Plume. "Real-world assets are one of the most promising growth categories in finance, but adoption has been slowed by lack of standards, limited distribution, and inconsistent infrastructure. By bringing issuers, platforms, and regulators together under a neutral framework, we can accelerate adoption and set the foundation for globally interoperable tokenized markets.".
The Alliance builds on this foundation, creating a neutral platform for collaboration and a pathway to global interoperability.
“Tokenization only fulfills its potential when assets, institutions, and investors can move seamlessly across an open and interoperable economy,” said Henry Zhang, Founder & Group CEO of DigiFT. “At DigiFT, our vision is to bridge traditional finance with on-chain markets, and the Global RWA Alliance is a critical step toward unifying standards, scaling distribution, and making tokenized assets a core pillar of global capital markets.”
Global Reach
The Alliance is designed to operate across major global financial centers, with dual presence in the United States and Asia-Pacific. This positioning ensures both regulatory engagement and cross-border accessibility. By bridging these markets, the Alliance aims to establish globally interoperable standards while remaining internationally neutral.
“WisdomTree is pleased to join the RWA Alliance and collaborate with other firms shaping the future of finance onchain. Through education and roundtables, we aim to help investors understand tokenized assets and how blockchain technology can unlock new utility — from interoperability to integrations that connect traditional markets with the opportunities of decentralized finance,” said Maredith Hannon, Head of Business Development, Digital Assets, WisdomTree.
Plume has already been working with regulatory bodies in APAC and the US to ensure a deep participation in the development of RWA legislation.
This work will be brought to the Alliance to enhance the global scope that makes it possible to convene policymakers, financial institutions, and Web3 innovators under one framework, creating the connective tissue needed to bring tokenized assets into mainstream finance.
"At Mercado Bitcoin, we believe tokenized real-world assets will become a cornerstone of global capital markets. Joining the Global RWA Alliance allows us to bring Latin America’s perspective to a truly international effort to build secure, compliant, and interoperable infrastructure for the next generation of finance.", said Alexandre Reda, Director of Investment Banking and Tokenization of Mercado Bitcoin, Latin America’s leading digital asset investment platform that operates in Brazil and Portugal.
Unlocking Yield, Sharing Insights
As part of its contribution, Plume is opening access to Nest, its modular yield infrastructure already integrated with OKX Earn, Galaxy, and Morpho. This is a unique opportunity for participants as Nest enables cross-chain yield delivery through modular vaults, composable design, and flexible support for new issuers and assets.
"The promise of tokenization depends on shared standards and open infrastructure. At Centrifuge, we’ve seen firsthand, through our earlier work with Plume’s Nest, how interoperability unlocks growth. By joining the Global RWA Alliance, we’re contributing to building the common rails that will allow tokenized assets to scale into a truly global market," said Bhaji Illuminati, CEO of Centrifuge.
The work of the Alliance will also be shared through media partners Messari and Tiger Research who will kick off with a tokenization playbook outlining tokenization approaches, framework, case studies and policies.
"We are delighted to see Plume, a leading blockchain platform in the RWA sector, spearheading the establishment of this cross-industry alliance. In the Hong Kong RWA market, we have observed a gap between issuers and investors in terms of information and demand. This alliance will help bridge that gap by aligning information and requirements across the value chain, thereby enhancing the competitiveness and liquidity of RWA products. At the same time, it will promote the adoption of unified standards and improve the efficiency of issuance, trading, and subscription processes,” said Brian Chen, Head of OSL Wealth Management.
