Plume is now the world’s first regulated onchain vault manager. We’ve been granted a Digital Asset Business Licence by the Bermuda Monetary Authority, joining Circle, Coinbase, and Kraken under @BermudaMonetary supervision. This brings us one step closer to our vision of Open Finance. plume.org/blog/plume-secures…

every week, $40 million is stolen from defi, routed through a series of mixers before ultimately being used to fund dark nation weapons programs the same defi that is supposed to be the shining star and real use case of our industry has lost over $750 million in the first 4ish months of 2026 and over $17 billion over the last 10 years in a sick twist of fate, this is our golden window. GENIUS Act has passed, CLARITY is around the corner, and the world’s largest institutions are paying attention for now in moments like these, it is important to know where you stand at @plumenetwork, comparing ourselves with defi was never right. we view capital protection as our main priority, and our real time monitoring controls can step in if something goes wrong. defi isn’t perfect, but the financial system isn’t either we have been building Open Finance: technology that leverages the best aspects of both cefi and defi Open Finance is smart contract programmability, fast innovation, open access, cross-chain composability, standardized, while maintaining regulatory licenses and safeguards, access to institutional assets, all going to create products built for scale allowing a global investor base to access the highest quality assets, with the licenses required to attract the best institutions, with a mandate of safeguarding capital if $900T of global assets are going to move onchain.. Open Finance is the only path forward more on this soon

it's really crazy that layerzero doesn't have some redundant sanity check and allows to bridge 116,500 rseth from a chain with a supply of 49 anyway here is my investigation gist.github.com/banteg/705d0…

Nest has no exposure to the rsETH exploit, Aave V3, or any other impacted protocols. All of our vaults are backed by RWAs with the majority of stablecoins off-ramped or custodied by asset issuers, in exchange for fund shares in the real world. However, out of an abundance of caution, we are temporarily pausing all LayerZero OFT crosschain bridging infrastructure until there is more clarity on the incident. In the meantime, our vaults remain safe and operational on Plume mainnet.

That's eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7…. Already adopted by lots of teams (e.g. USDai, Plume, Lagoon, Centrifuge, Cove, ...), and we're working hard to get open-source, audited implementations that teams can use and build on top of.

The SEC Crypto Task Force met with Plume. Their feedback, according to Salman: "Your strategy is really the tip of the spear in trying to make tokenization and real world assets come onchain, but doing it in a way that's consistent with US securities regulation." Tip of the spear. From the SEC's own crypto team. That endorsement didn't come from avoiding regulation. It came from building within it.

Most of the conversation around RWA looping revolves around the benefits for the looper, but it misses the fact that RWA looping is good for lenders too. Native onchain APYs (without incentives) are barely beating Tbills because they are mostly lending to crypto-native collateral. All crypto-native collateral is directly or indirectly related to crypto market activity, which is down. Done correctly, RWA collateral is uncorrelated to crypto activity and loopers are willing to pay a premium above current rates. The many RWA credit risks that people (correctly) point out will eventually be solved when there are dozens or hundreds of assets for looping. One RWA seeing a drawdown matters a lot less when vaults are spread out over 100 different collateral markets.

this is actually insane > be tech guy in australia > adopt cancer riddled rescue dog, months to live > not_going_to_give_you_up.mp4 > pay $3,000 to sequence her tumor DNA > feed it to ChatGPT and AlphaFold > zero background in biology > identify mutated proteins, match them to drug targets > design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine from scratch > genomics professor is “gobsmacked” that some puppy lover did this on his own > need ethics approval to administer it > red tape takes longer than designing the vaccine > 3 months, finally approved > drive 10 hours to get rosie her first injection > tumor halves > coat gets glossy again > dog is alive and happy > professor: “if we can do this for a dog, why aren’t we rolling this out to humans?” one man with a chatbot, and $3,000 just outperformed the entire pharmaceutical discovery pipeline. we are going to cure so many diseases. I dont think people realize how good things are going to get

This will be a turning point in democratizing traditionally closed end funds onchain to the broader masses. Im very excited of the ramifications of the model we are building out for RWA access and what it means to real users.
Nest is expanding. Can you guess with who?

With all the private credit / insto doomer posts going around ct right now, it's worth remembering We are incredibly blessed that the largest asset managers in the world like BlackRock, Apollo, Fidelity, Wisdomtree, etc are coming into crypto with such open arms and open minds Nobody foresaw not only how aggressively the TradFi folks would come into crypto but also how excited they would be to experiment & implement new ideas, new products, and work with the crypto natives on building the future The work they are doing is incredible validation of what we are doing and brings immense credibility to our industry. And they didn't have to do it this way -- they could have just as easily ignored us and been adversarial But instead we have trillion dollar asset managers working with everyone from established protocols to new 5 person teams on novel ideas, new assets, new protocols up and down the stack from bringing assets, seeding liquidity, creating new products, investing in protocols, engaging with regulators, etc The train is well on its way now and the bell cannot be unrung. But shout out and grateful for the leaders within the large institutions that have been championing what we're doing and putting their careers on the line to help bring our vision to life We've always said what we love about this market is that it's one of the few pure positive sum industries left where if we do this right nobody has to lose and we can all win. Me and @teddyP_xyz believed that when we started @plumenetwork and it's more true than ever now The future is bright anon. Markets go up, markets go down, but the change we are working on is permanent and we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg for what can be done here Much love fam

Slow and steady. Boring. Pretty much how RWA yield should look. Consistent 8%-12% yield since launch 9 months ago from nAlpha vault on @NestCredit app.nest.credit/vaults/nest-…

Plume❤️Korea
We are incredibly proud of what our team has built for Plume in Korea — and honestly, the momentum there is undeniable. 🇰🇷 Korea is moving faster than ever. We are so excited to see the National Assembly pushing hard to pass the bill, paving the way for tokenization of stocks, real estate, and even art. Korea is making serious moves to become Asia’s blockchain hub. Korea has the regulatory ambition and the community consensus to build a spot-on RWA ecosystem. We couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead. 감사합니다 thank you so much — and we’ll be back in Korea very soon. 😉 LFG! 가즈아!🚀
