Real-world asset finance (RWAfi) platform Plume has joined forces with PinLink, a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) platform, to revolutionize how real-world assets (RWAs) are tokenized and managed.
This collaboration, unveiled today, January 3, 2025, aims to tap into the projected $30 trillion RWA market by 2030 while addressing critical needs for liquidity and scalability.
Through this partnership, Plume will integrate PinLink’s DePIN assets into a dedicated vault on its soon-to-be-launched mainnet. This will allow Plume users to access PinLink’s yield-generating tokenized assets, creating new opportunities for both investors and service users.
Notably, PinLink focuses on transforming and improving the accessibility of hardware assets for users and AI developers. It tokenizes and fractionalizes hardware resources like GPUs, IoT devices, and WiFi hotspots on the blockchain, thus, making them accessible to a broader audience while reducing operational costs for AI developers.
“This partnership marks a pivotal step in advancing RWA tokenization,” Lukasz Orlowski, PinLink’s founder, stated. “Together with Plume, we’re streamlining access to DePIN assets while meeting the surging demand for cost-efficient, scalable compute power in the AI space.”
Chris Yin, CEO of Plume, echoed the sentiment, highlighting the strategic importance of the alliance. “Integrating PinLink’s infrastructure enriches our ecosystem and delivers unmatched opportunities for our community, solidifying Plume as a leader in RWA innovation.”
This partnership builds on Plume’s earlier moves to solidify its status as a pioneering protocol in the RWA sector. The project recently partnered with Predicate, a blockchain security protocol, to bolster compliance within its ecosystem. Predicate is expected to allow Plume users to enforce policies at the smart contract level, blocking assets from sanctioned entities without requiring KYC, ensuring compliance while preserving a seamless user experience.
In another development, Plume announced a $25 million RWAfi Ecosystem Fund to support the tokenization of real-world assets and early-stage RWAfi projects on its platform. Backed by investors like Galaxy Digital, Mechanism Capital, and Hashkey, the fund aims to advance DeFi solutions incorporating assets such as treasuries, GPUs, and private credit. The project’s CEO, Yin, emphasized that the initiative will unlock significant value and drive innovation across industries, with strategic guidance from partners ensuring the ecosystem’s growth and success.
