Plume-OpenTrade Bridge Links Institutional Capital with On-Chain Yield Opportunities

Plume, a blockchain platform focused on real-world asset (RWA) finance, has joined forces with OpenTrade to introduce yield-generating vaults within its Nest staking protocol. By utilizing WisdomTree's tokenized funds, the initiative aims to broaden access to institutional-level RWA yields. Announced on November 4, 2025, the partnership merges OpenTrade's stablecoin yield system with WisdomTree's SEC-registered tokenized funds, allowing users to earn interest on their stablecoin holdings while staying compliant with regulatory requirements, as reported by a

.

WisdomTree, which manages $130 billion in assets, recently launched 14 tokenized funds on the

network, including its Government Money Market Digital Fund and the CRDT Private Credit and Alternative Income Fund. These offerings enable investors to hold, transfer, and settle assets directly on Plume’s blockchain, which enforces KYC and AML compliance at the protocol level. Galaxy Digital has already invested $10 million in WisdomTree’s Government Money Market Digital Fund, reflecting early institutional engagement, according to . Plume, which claims to be the largest RWA blockchain by user count with more than 276,000 holders and $600 million in tokenized assets, presents itself as a compliant alternative to general-purpose blockchains such as , according to .

This collaboration with OpenTrade introduces a new way to earn yields. Through Nest, users can place stablecoins like USDC into vaults that are supported by WisdomTree’s tokenized funds. These vaults provide real-time interest, and users have the flexibility to withdraw their assets whenever they choose. OpenTrade’s platform automates fund operations such as trading and reporting, overseen by Five Sigma, an asset manager with $6 billion in assets. The system complies with ERC-4626 and ERC-7540 standards, ensuring clear interest calculations and asset transparency, as noted in the Chainwire report.

This move underscores the increasing rivalry among asset managers to bring traditional investments onto the blockchain.

, which oversees $100 billion in conventional assets and $650 million in tokenized holdings, highlights that its digital funds are tailored for both retail and institutional clients. "Regulated, tokenized strategies can serve as building blocks for onchain finance," stated Maredith Hannon, WisdomTree’s Head of Business Development for Digital Assets, in the Yahoo Finance article. Meanwhile, Plume co-founder Teddy Pornprinya described the alliance as a link between institutional assets, compliant infrastructure, and on-chain distribution, paving the way for "the next phase of DeFi," according to Chainwire.

The first vaults will be backed by WisdomTree’s Treasury Money Market Digital Fund (WTGXX) and Private Credit and Alternative Income Digital Fund (CRDT), with additional products expected in the future. OpenTrade’s Chief Compliance Officer, Jeffrey Handler, mentioned that the platform’s infrastructure enables users to access "predictable risk-adjusted returns" from top-tier financial assets directly through their wallets, as reported by Chainwire.
