Grvt, a self-custodial onchain wealth platform, today announced a partnership with Plume to bring institutional-grade real world asset yield into its users' portfolios through three upcoming RWA yield products: the Base Yield Fund, the Balanced Fund and the Opportunistic Fund, each designed to serve different risk appetites and return profiles.

The partnership comes as tokenized assets are drawing renewed attention across both crypto and traditional finance. Cryptonews recently reported that the SEC is preparing an “innovation exemption” for tokenized stocks, which could give platforms a clearer path to offering blockchain-based equity products under a lighter regulatory framework.

That momentum is also showing up in wider market sentiment, with a recent CryptosRus market snapshot citing Bitwise data that showed tokenized RWAs at $1.43 billion onchain, up 26% over 30 days, with $3 billion in monthly transfer volume.

Recent market data from RWA.xyz shows more than $33.63 billion in distributed real-world asset value onchain, with more than 796,389 RWA holders and over $348 billion in represented asset value across the sector.

Grvt’s integration with Plume is designed to bring that market momentum into a simpler user experience, allowing users to access tokenized yield products directly from the same self-custodial balance they already use to trade on the platform.

All three products will be integrated directly into the Grvt platform, allowing users to access institutional-grade yield opportunities from the same self-custodial balance they already trade from, without moving assets across separate apps, accounts, or custody layers.

While sophisticated financial instruments are available through traditional brokerage platforms, access is often limited by brokerage onboarding requirements, regional restrictions for non-U.S. participants, and capital fragmentation across separate custody and investment platforms. Access to the strategies underlying the Opportunistic Fund is more limited still, typically reserved for institutional allocators through regulatory and minimum-allocation thresholds. For many crypto-native users, gaining exposure to these strategies through traditional channels can involve significant operational and structural complexity.

This integration removes it. The funds will be accessible inside Grvt's tokenized RWA investment products, with no brokerage account or fragmentation of capital across platforms.

The partnership marks Grvt's first integration with a network purpose-built for open finance, the next evolution of real-world assets onchain, where tokenized instruments become composable, yield-generating building blocks. It is also the latest step in Grvt's build out of an onchain wealth platform, where trading capital and invested capital live under one composable balance.

Why Open Finance, why Plume

While tokenization brought real world assets onchain, the larger opportunity lies in making them more usable across onchain financial markets. Plume was built specifically for that transition, and the partnership aligns closely with Grvt's vision for a composable onchain wealth platform.

Through Plume’s Nest architecture, an institutional fixed income strategy backed by one of the most recognized names in global asset management can exist alongside DeFi-native yield sources within the same yield layer. Over time, these assets can also serve as productive collateral within Grvt’s unified one balance design. The complexity remains under the hood. What the user experiences is a single self-custodial balance that earns, invests, and trades simultaneously.

For Grvt, that is what open finance unlocks: not just access to real world yield, but the ability to weave institutional-grade yield, into a composable wealth platform without breaking the self-custody model users expect from a DEX. 

"Trading is where Grvt started. Wealth is where we are expanding," said Hong Yea, Co-founder and CEO of Grvt. "Plume was built around the idea that real world assets should not just sit onchain as wrappers, but actually plug into how onchain markets work. That is the same conviction behind Grvt's wealth platform. We want every dollar of collateral to be productive, every yield source to be transparent, and users to never have to trade self custody for performance. Bringing this onchain through a Balanced Fund anchored by BlackRock CLOA, alongside other tokenized funds backing an Opportunistic Fund across structured credit and bond strategy, is exactly what that looks like in practice."

"Plume makes real world assets usable inside onchain markets, not just visible within them. We are making them a viable earning mechanism.," said Ryan Wen, Head of Strategy & Operations at Plume. "Now, Grvt users gain exposure to institutional-grade yield through the same wallet they trade from, with no compromise to self-custody. This is the open financial future we’re working towards.” 

What changes for users

For Grvt users, the experience remains simple and streamlined, with complexity abstracted away beneath the surface. A single opt-in continues to cover all current and future yield sources within Grvt’s tokenized RWA investment products, withdrawals remain instant under normal conditions, and users can view their yield exposure at any time.

What changes is the infrastructure behind that opt-in. Through this integration, yield from a Plume Nest vault becomes part of the same yield layer users already access, connected to the same self-custodial wallet they already use on Grvt, with no additional brokerage accounts or custody handoffs required.
