Expanding tokenized access to premium private markets through blockchain-native infrastructure
Plume, the first full-stack chain and ecosystem purpose-built for real-world asset (RWA) finance, has partnered with Colb Finance to bring tokenized Pre-IPO equity opportunities onchain.
Colb joins the Plume ecosystem to bring real-world asset access previously limited to private markets onchain, starting with Pre-IPO equities, wealth management strategies, and institutional-grade financial products, all tokenized on Plume's chain.
'Plume's focus on strengthening the value of real-world assets centers on providing institutional-grade products as part of a complete suite of RWAs onchain. Together, Plume and Colb are delivering the transparency and security institutions and investors expect from their portfolios while expanding access through DeFi,' said Chris Yin, CEO and Co-Founder of Plume.
The integration also brings $USC into the Plume ecosystem. $USC is Colb's 1:1 USD-backed stablecoin, designed for security and simplicity. It powers all asset flows across Colb, from subscriptions and redemptions to fiat conversions.
'The Web3 community deserves more than speculative tokens. It needs infrastructure that unlocks access to real world assets. Colb and Plume are building that foundation. By bringing institutional-grade RWAs to Plume, we're enabling blockchain-native users to own, access, and interact with investments as code, not paper,' said Yulgan, Co-Founder of Colb Finance.
Colb is already working with respected partners like NS Partners and Arbra, and brings deep expertise in bridging private market strategies into tokenized formats. This integration strengthens Plume's growing RWA ecosystem and opens new doors for blockchain-native users seeking access to tangible opportunities.
