What is Plume crypto?

Plume crypto usually refers to PLUME, the native token of Plume Network. Plume is a blockchain designed for real-world assets, or RWAs, meaning financial and physical assets that are represented as tokens. Its goal is to let those tokens be traded, lent and used in DeFi apps like any other crypto asset.

What is the Plume blockchain?

Plume's docs call it a public, EVM-compatible blockchain built for real-world assets. EVM-compatible means apps written for Ethereum can run on it with familiar tools. The docs say Plume posts transaction data to Ethereum, and users pay part of that cost in their fees.

Plume launched its public mainnet, called Plume Genesis, on June 5, 2025. CoinDesk reported at the time that more than $150 million in RWAs were in use on the network, and that Plume had integrated with asset managers such as Blackstone and Invesco and DeFi protocols such as Curve and Morpho.

What does Plume crypto do?

Plume combines a blockchain with tools for issuers:

• Arc is a tokenization engine. Issuers add modules for identity checks, anti-money laundering screening, securities compliance, cash onramps and offramps, and secondary trading, including through alternative trading systems.
• Nexus brings outside data onchain, such as economic indicators, with oracle partners helping deliver and verify it.
• Compliance at the network level. Plume's docs say every mainnet transaction is screened against the US Treasury's OFAC sanctions list before it is executed, and transactions involving a sanctioned address are dropped. Our guide to OFAC crypto sanctions explains that list.

The PLUME token pays for gas on the network. It can be staked to help secure the network and earn rewards, and holders can vote on network decisions. According to the docs, the total supply is 10 billion PLUME, with 20% circulating at launch. The allocation is 59% to community, ecosystem and foundation, 21% to early backers and 20% to core contributors.

What is Plume's role in RWA tokenization?

On October 6, 2025, Plume was registered with the SEC as a transfer agent for tokenized securities, BeInCrypto reported. A transfer agent keeps the official record of who owns a security. Plume said this lets it manage shareholder records, ownership changes and dividend payments onchain, and connect with systems used by the SEC and DTCC.

This puts Plume in the same field as other tokenization platforms that try to link traditional securities rules with blockchains. Tokenized assets still depend on the legal structure and issuer behind them, so a token is only as reliable as the claim it represents. Plume's docs, which describe some tools as still in development, are the place to check which features are live.
