Plume, a layer-1 blockchain built for real-world asset (RWA) finance, has partnered with Goldfinch, a top-tier onchain private credit platform, to bring institutional-grade private credit funds to the blockchain. Through this partnership, select private credit products will be made accessible to users on Nest, Plume’s native RWA staking platform. The initiative is designed to offer sustainable yield opportunities through Goldfinch Prime, which provides exposure to funds from leading alternative asset managers such as Apollo, Golub Capital, Aries, and Stellus Capital—firms that collectively manage over $1 trillion in assets. This integration marks a significant step in bridging traditional finance and decentralized ecosystems.

Democratizing Private Credit

From Institutional Access to Public Utility

Traditionally, private credit funds are highly restricted investment vehicles, available only to select institutional investors. Through Nest vaults on Plume, these products become permissionless and liquid, giving crypto-native users access to alternative yield opportunities once considered inaccessible.

Goldfinch Prime employs purpose-built infrastructure to enable secure, onchain fund subscriptions. This “streamed yield” approach enhances transparency and operational efficiency while maintaining the integrity of the underlying financial products.

Strategic Infrastructure Expansion

Turning TradFi Into DeFi-Composable Assets

“This partnership shows how we can leverage Plume’s infrastructure to turn previously inaccessible investment opportunities into fully permissionless and composable assets,” said Teddy Pornprinya, co-founder and CBO of Plume.

Plume has actively pursued tokenization across alternative markets. Alongside its Goldfinch partnership, it has established collaborations with Ondo Finance, Superstate, and Music Protocol, adding more utility to its modular blockchain infrastructure.

Institutional Support and Capital Backing

Plume’s Growing Influence in Web3 Finance

The strategic collaboration with Goldfinch comes shortly after a major investment by YZi Labs, formerly Binance Labs, led by Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao. YZi Labs announced its backing of Plume on March 17 as part of an effort to expand access to tokenized assets.

Plume had previously raised $20 million in a Series A round in December 2024, with support from top Web3 VCs including Brevan Howard Digital, Galaxy Ventures, and Haun Ventures, signaling deep institutional confidence in its long-term roadmap.
