With this funding, Plume expects to accelerate the development of its modular blockchain infrastructure, designed to bring RWAs onchain for crypto natives, traditional financial institutions, asset issuers, and more. As RWAs continue to dominate both traditional and crypto markets, this investment will help further Plume’s mission to make accessing these assets as seamless and flexible as any other crypto-native asset. Within Plume’s RWAfi ecosystem, users will be able to swap, lend/borrow, earn, and speculate on RWAs with ease. Additionally, the funding will help fuel the expansion of Plume’s ecosystem, which has already achieved significant traction, including a successful testnet with over 18 million wallets and more than 200 onboarded protocols.

“Our investment in Plume underscores Apollo’s focus on technologies that broaden access to institutional-quality products and create more seamless, innovative client experiences,” said Christine Moy, Partner and Head of Digital Assets at Apollo. “As private assets and funds increasingly move on-chain, Plume represents a new kind of infrastructure focused on digital asset utility, investor engagement, and next-generation financial solutions – advancing the development of a more efficient and programmable financial system.”

Where traditional RWA approaches have primarily focused on bringing institutional products onchain, Plume’s unique infrastructure is designed to enhance the utility of these assets within crypto-native DeFi environments. Plume creates an environment where users can swap, lend, borrow against, and build with these previously static assets.

“We’re excited to have Apollo support our mission to bring RWAs onchain,” said Teddy Pornprinya, co-founder and CBO of Plume. “We’ve always believed that RWAs are more than just tokenization. The challenge is not in getting assets onchain, but in making them truly useful once they’re in the crypto economy. With Plume, we’re creating an environment where any asset issuer can seamlessly connect to liquidity, community, and distribution, generating value in ways previously impossible.”
