Plume

The market for RWA recorded on blockchain networks has grown quickly over the past year, and Plume CEO Chris Yin believes the rise is only getting started. In a recent <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/rwa-market-growth-forecast-plume-securitize-2026" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">interview</a>, he said he expects the total value of tokenized assets to expand three to five times by 2026, with user numbers climbing even faster.&nbsp;
According to Yin, the <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/rwa-tokenization-hits-record-high-with-11-weekly-surge/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">RWA sector is on pace to increase its holder count more than tenfold</a> this year alone. This continued momentum could place next year in similar territory.
<a href="https://app.rwa.xyz/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Data</a> from RWA.xyz estimates that <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/institutional-interest-in-tokenization-grows-despite-bitcoin-price-volatility/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">more than $35 billion in tokenized assets sits on public chains</a> across more than 539,000 holders. Yin said nearly all of this activity comes from crypto-native users for now. But, he expects a wider audience to enter as more asset types move onchain.

Yin noted that U.S. Treasury bills still make up most of the market, but onchain users are beginning to look elsewhere as interest rate cuts draw near. He said private credit has already seen a noticeable uptick, along with categories such as mineral rights, oil, GPUs, and energy-linked products.
He added that new laws being drafted in several countries, including the US, may help these products move from early trials into regular usage. That would bring fresh demand rather than merely new tokenized supply.

Plume <a href="https://plume.org/blog/securitize-to-launch-on-plume" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced</a> on Wednesday that Securitize plans to bring institutional-grade assets to Nest, Plume’s staking protocol. Nest allows holders to trade and earn returns on tokenized instruments.&nbsp;
Under the deal, Securitize will connect its products to Plume’s network of more than 280,000 RWA users. The first group of assets will come from Hamilton Lane, with more issuers expected to follow in 2026.
Plume has 279,692 RWA holders, which accounts for about half of all holders across the broader market. However, RWA.xyz does not place Plume among the top ten networks by size. Yin explained that while Plume’s user base is large, each holder tends to keep smaller amounts compared with other platforms.
Plume currently hosts about $200 million in tokenized assets, a level Yin described as a clearer gauge of real activity on the network.
