Plume announced on Wednesday that Securitize, a tokenization platform backed by BlackRock and Morgan Stanley, had inked a deal to deploy institutional-grade assets on Plume’s Nest staking protocol. The real-world asset (RWA) market value could more than triple its current value by 2026, as it expands beyond crypto-native use cases and utility, according to Chris Yin, co-founder and CEO of RWA-focused layer-2 blockchain Plume. Speaking to Cointelegraph, Yin said the RWA value took off last year and roughly doubled, and he expects it to increase by three to five times in 2026 as a base case. “Currently, we are tracking to over 10x the RWA holders number since the start of the year and so we expect us to keep inflecting and we think it’s not crazy to imagine another banner year with 25x+ in user growth numbers,” he said. Read more Plume announced on Wednesday that Securitize, a tokenization platform backed by BlackRock and Morgan Stanley, had inked a deal to deploy institutional-grade assets on Plume’s Nest staking protocol.
