Grvt expands RWA yield offerings through Plume partnership

Grvt announced a partnership with Plume to launch institutional-grade real-world asset (RWA) yield products onchain, as demand for tokenized financial products continues gaining traction across crypto and traditional finance markets.

The integration will introduce three yield-focused investment products on the Grvt platform: the Base Yield Fund, the Balanced Fund, and the Opportunistic Fund.

The funds are designed to serve users with varying risk appetites and return expectations while operating through a single self-custodial balance.

The move comes as tokenized RWAs continue expanding rapidly.

Market data from RWA.xyz cited in the announcement showed more than $34 billion in distributed real-world asset value currently onchain, with over 796,000 holders participating across the sector.

Additional market data referenced in the release showed tokenized RWAs reached $1.43 billion onchain, up 26% over the past 30 days, alongside approximately $3 billion in monthly transfer volume.

Grvt integrates institutional yield into self-custodial platform

Under the partnership, Grvt users will be able to access tokenized yield products directly from the same self-custodial balances they use for trading without transferring assets between separate brokerage accounts, applications, or custody systems.

The company said the integration is intended to simplify access to investment strategies that are traditionally limited to institutional investors or users navigating complex brokerage and custody requirements.

The products will operate through Plume’s infrastructure, including its Nest architecture, which is designed to connect institutional fixed-income products with decentralized finance yield opportunities within a unified onchain framework.

The companies said the longer-term objective is to create a composable wealth platform where trading capital and invested capital operate under a single balance structure.

The integration also represents Grvt’s first partnership with a network specifically built for open finance infrastructure tied to tokenized real-world assets.

Grvt recently announced a partnership with Centrifuge, integrating Janus Henderson Anemoy Treasury Fund into its earn products.

Companies position tokenized assets for broader adoption

Executives from both companies framed the partnership as part of a broader shift toward integrating traditional financial products into decentralized financial ecosystems.

“Trading is where Grvt started. Wealth is where we are expanding,” said Hong Yea.

“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.”

Ryan Wen also emphasized the goal of making institutional assets usable within onchain financial systems.

“Plume makes real world assets usable inside onchain markets, not just visible within them. We are making them a viable earning mechanism,” Wen said.

“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.”

User experience and infrastructure remain central focus

According to the companies, the user experience on Grvt will remain largely unchanged despite the expanded infrastructure supporting the new products.

Users will continue operating through a single opt-in process covering both existing and future yield products available on the platform.

The companies also said withdrawals are expected to remain instant under normal market conditions.

The integration is designed to keep the underlying operational complexity abstracted away from users while allowing tokenized RWA products to function within the same wallet infrastructure already used for trading activities.

Grvt currently operates on ZKsync and said it has processed more than $300 billion in trading volume to date.
