Plume is building core infrastructure for onchain capital markets, and last week marked a turning point. On Oct 6, @plumenetwork became an SEC-regulated transfer agent. This gives it legal authority to manage shareholder records, process security transfers, and integrate with DTCC, directly onchain. The implications are major: – Onchain IPOs and equity raises become viable – Regulated funds can issue tokens under existing frameworks – Tokenization timelines compress from months to weeks The market responded: $PLUME rose 25%, and trading volume jumped 186% (as per @CoinMarketCap). In Q1 2026, Plume will launch Nest vaults, letting stablecoin holders earn yield from tokenized, regulated instruments. Fund managers can use Nest to deploy RWA-backed strategies onchain in a fully compliant way. This rollout is designed with 40 Act funds in mind, the $39T foundation of U.S. asset management. Plume is giving these institutional vehicles a credible structure to move onchain.

Not only that, to support this push, @plumenetwork signed a definitive agreement on Oct 8 to acquire @dinero_xyz, bringing $ipxETH, $pxSOL, $pxBTC, and cross-chain staking infrastructure into the Plume ecosystem. Dinero’s $ipxETH has $125M+ in TVL and works with partners like @galaxyhq and Nomura’s @LaserDigital_. These products will migrate to Plume’s native stack and expand its institutional DeFi yield suite. The acquisition also brings deeper technical capabilities as Plume expands into the U.S., Asia, and UAE. With regulatory clearance, product momentum, and a clear path to institutional adoption, Plume is now one of the most credible contenders in bridging real-world assets and crypto-native infrastructure. Execution will define the next phase, but the foundation is in place. Bullish.
