Plume Network has officially launched the Global RWA Alliance, a new cross-industry initiative aimed at accelerating the adoption of tokenized assets. The alliance brings together leading institutions, regulators, and infrastructure providers to develop shared standards and a unified framework for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.

This marks another milestone for Plume, coming just a day after its SEC registration as a transfer agent, which allows it to offer compliant recordkeeping and fund administration within the U.S. tokenized assets market. Together, these developments signal Plume’s growing influence in shaping the regulatory and institutional direction of the RWA sector.

Aiming to Unify a Fragmented Tokenization Landscape

The Global RWA Alliance seeks to address a long-standing challenge in the RWA market, fragmented infrastructure and inconsistent standards that slow institutional adoption. The founding members include WisdomTree, DigiFT, Morpho, Nest, TopNod, Centrifuge, Gate Web3, Mercado Bitcoin, RWA.xyz, OSL, and Bitget Wallet, forming a coalition that spans traditional finance and blockchain-native platforms.

According to Shukyee Ma, Chief Strategy Officer at Plume, the initiative’s goal is to “bring issuers, platforms, and regulators together under a neutral framework”, laying the groundwork for interoperable tokenized markets. Ma emphasized that RWAs are one of the most promising areas in finance today, but growth has been constrained by “a lack of standards, limited distribution, and inconsistent infrastructure”.

By creating a collaborative ecosystem, the Alliance aims to standardize tokenization practices and expand the distribution of tokenized assets across multiple markets.

Expanding Through Global Collaboration

The Alliance plans to operate across major financial centers in the U.S. and Asia-Pacific, ensuring both regulatory engagement and cross-border participation. This global reach is key to developing standards that can function seamlessly across jurisdictions.

Henry Zhang, Founder and Group CEO of DigiFT, said the Alliance is an important step toward bridging traditional and decentralized finance. “Tokenization only fulfills its potential when assets, institutions, and investors can move seamlessly across an open and interoperable economy”, he noted.

WisdomTree, another founding member, also highlighted its commitment to education and interoperability. Maredith Hannon, Head of Business Development for Digital Assets, said the firm aims to help investors understand how blockchain technology can enhance utility and connect traditional markets with decentralized systems.

In Latin America, Mercado Bitcoin’s Director of Investment Banking and Tokenization, Alexandre Reda, described the Alliance as a chance to contribute regional insights and strengthen compliance frameworks for tokenized markets operating across borders.

Strengthening Infrastructure Through Nest Integration

Beyond governance and collaboration, the Alliance also includes tangible contributions from Plume’s existing ecosystem. As part of its launch, Plume opened access to Nest, its modular yield infrastructure that already integrates with OKX Earn, Galaxy, and Morpho.

Nest enables cross-chain yield delivery through composable vaults and flexible support for new issuers and asset types. According to Bhaji Illuminati, CEO of Centrifuge, “The promise of tokenization depends on shared standards and open infrastructure. Through our earlier work with Plume’s Nest, we’ve seen how interoperability unlocks growth”.

This integration provides Alliance members with direct access to modular yield tools that can power scalable, compliant on-chain financial products, a crucial component in connecting institutional liquidity with blockchain-based assets.

Regulatory Alignment and Industry Momentum

Plume’s recent SEC approval as a registered transfer agent, covered in CryptoWinRate’s earlier report, has strengthened its credibility among institutional players. This registration positions Plume to play a more direct role in maintaining compliant systems for trade tracking and recordkeeping, an essential requirement for institutional RWA participation.

With nearly $577.8 million in total value locked (TVL) and over 90% utilization in its tokenized treasury vaults, Plume already represents one of the largest active ecosystems for RWAs. Its non-stablecoin RWA wallets account for more than half of the global total across public blockchains, including Ethereum and Solana.

Toward a Unified Future for Tokenized Assets

The launch of the Global RWA Alliance signals a coordinated move toward unifying the fragmented landscape of real-world asset tokenization. By combining regulatory engagement, open infrastructure, and cross-industry collaboration, Plume and its partners aim to bring tokenized assets closer to mainstream finance.

As regulatory clarity improves and institutional adoption expands, initiatives like the Global RWA Alliance could play a defining role in building globally interoperable tokenized markets.
