The group provides industry input on the DTCC Tokenization Service and works to foster digital-asset adoption, and Plume says it will contribute its compliance expertise as a modular chain purpose-built for real-world assets, from art to green energy.

DTCC sits at the center of US securities clearing and settlement, so a permissioned crypto chain in the room is a meaningful signal for where tokenization is heading.

For Plume, it is validation from the plumbing of TradFi rather than another crypto-native partnership, the kind of institutional credibility RWA projects have chased as tokenized treasuries, funds and commodities move onchain.
