Plume, the first full-stack blockchain and ecosystem dedicated to RWAfi (real-world asset finance), and MB | Mercado Bitcoin, Latin America’s leading digital asset investment platform, recently met their 24-month goal of $40 million worth of RWAs on-chain in just four months.
The projects are now setting their sights on reaching $500 million.
The majority of the current portfolio consists of private credit instruments, including asset-backed securities, consumer credit, corporate debt and accounts receivable, opening up distribution to global investors.
Plume and MB | Mercado Bitcoin are dedicated to expanding this access over a five-year period.
Chris Yin, CEO of Plume, said,
“Surpassing $40 million in tokenized assets so quickly is a validation that the market is ready for [RWAs] on-chain, at scale.
“Emerging markets – and Latin America in particular – are leading this movement because the need for better capital access is real.
“We built Plume to support exactly this kind of adoption, and we’re proud to work with MB to bring high-quality financial products to a broader, global audience.”
The milestone underscores Plume and MB | Mercado Bitcoin’s shared mission to open up access to institutional-grade financial products through blockchain technology, bringing efficient and transparent capital markets to both global investors and underserved businesses in emerging markets.
Powered by Plume and structured and distributed by MB | Mercado Bitcoin, these tokenized assets can be seamlessly integrated with DeFi lending, borrowing and staking protocols.
This creates new opportunities for yield generation, liquidity provision and cross-border financial inclusion – all without the inefficiencies of traditional financial markets.
Fabricio Tota, vice president of business development of MB | Mercado Bitcoin, said,
“We believe tokenization is a powerful tool for inclusion – both in terms of who can invest and who can raise capital.
“Together with Plume, we are unlocking new growth pathways for the region’s financial ecosystem.
“This expansion of our partnership reflects the rising demand for blockchain-based private credit and RWA investment opportunities in Latin America.”
As Latin America’s largest crypto platform, MB | Mercado Bitcoin has been at the forefront of tokenizing RWAs to create new forms of access and liquidity.
This initiative has opened the door for small- and medium-sized businesses across Brazil to raise capital more efficiently, while enabling global and local investors to participate in previously hard-to-access yield opportunities.
Plume is the first full-stack blockchain and ecosystem dedicated to RWAfi.
With over 200 projects building on its EVM-compatible infrastructure, Plume makes it simple to tokenize and integrate RWAs into DeFi applications, enabling anyone to interact with global financial markets through intuitive, on-chain tools.
