EtherFi has allocated $25 million to Plume‘s real-world asset protocol Nest, aiming to integrate tokenized RWA yield directly into its platform. The rollout begins with exposure to Plume’s nBASIS vault, tied to Superstate‘s USCC crypto carry fund, with a dedicated RWA vault planned for a later phase.
The initial allocation gives EtherFi users indirect access to a strategy combining crypto basis trades, staking rewards, and government securities — structures traditionally reserved for institutional investors. The integration spans EtherFi’s more than $6 billion in user deposits.
The broader RWA market has grown to over $27 billion from approximately $5.7 billion at the start of 2025, according to RWA.xyz. Tokenized US Treasury products account for more than $11 billion of that total, with major products from BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Circle holding significant market share.
Plume registered as a transfer agent with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in October and currently reports over 262,000 RWA holders with more than $348 million in tokenized assets.
