Plume started as a chain for real-world assets and now works as a distribution layer for them. One vault can reach Binance Wallet, Bybit, Fordefi, Robinhood Chain, Kamino and Morpho without a new stack for each venue. This report covers the platform first, then the vaults, the asset classes and the partners behind them.

01Plume is an Open Finance platform for institutional assets

Plume calls itself the Open Finance platform for institutional assets, per its nBND release on October 5, 2026. Plume says it has reached $1B+ in total assets minted and $250M+ in RWA TVL, per its October 15, 2026 post.

Plume Vaults have processed more than $900 million in deposits and $500 million in redemptions, per the nPRIME release on September 24, 2026. Apollo, WisdomTree and @FalconXGlobal have brought assets and strategies onchain through this infrastructure, per the same release.

Plume by the numbers

The Plume chain itself holds $157.44 million in distributed RWA value across 986 assets and 257,684 RWA holders, per rwa.xyz on October 29, 2026.

02193,547 holder addresses across eight chains

Plume Vaults hold $134.49 million in distributed asset value across 13 RWAs, per rwa.xyz on October 29, 2026. Value grew 4.82% in 30 days, and monthly transfer volume reached $71.04 million.

Most of that value now sits off the Plume chain. rwa.xyz puts $38.1 million on Ethereum, $33.2 million on Solana, $29.9 million on BNB Chain, $28.1 million on Plume and $5.1 million on Avalanche C-Chain. @DefiLlama shows the same pattern, with Ethereum at $84.61 million and Plume at $76.89 million, per DefiLlama on October 29, 2026.

03Brazilian receivables lead the book

nOPAL is the largest Plume vault. It runs on Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Plume, BNB Chain, Arc, Monad and Robinhood Chain, and holds $120.98 million at a 10.81% APY, per DefiLlama yields on October 29, 2026.

@blackopal_fi manages nOPAL, and it is backed by Brazilian credit card receivables, per Plume on July 22, 2026. Merchants sell future card receivables at a discount for cash today. When Visa and Mastercard settle, BlackOpal collects the full amount. Around 70% of card transactions in Brazil are paid in installments, per Plume on August 27, 2026. BRL exposure is hedged through non-deliverable forwards, and a liquidity sleeve of USCC, nTBILL and cash supports redemptions.

Plume reports a 0% default rate since inception for nOPAL, and audits by 0xMacro and Spearbit, per its Avalanche launch post on July 22, 2026. nOPAL also has a Kamino lending market on Solana, which holds $9.46 million, per DefiLlama yields on October 29, 2026.

04Credit vaults from FalconX, Figure and OnRe

nFXCF is the FALX Structured Credit Facility, built with FalconX. It offers overcollateralized prime brokerage lending at a fixed monthly rate and can scale to about $1 billion, per Plume on September 8, 2026. nFXCF holds $15.02 million across Plume and Ethereum at an 8.05% APY, per DefiLlama yields on October 29, 2026.

nPRIME gives access to PRIME, the @HastraFi token backed by @Figure's Democratized Prime home equity market. Figure and its partners have originated more than $30 billion in home equity loans, per Plume on September 24, 2026. nPRIME holds $14.62 million on Ethereum at a 6.07% APY, per DefiLlama on October 29, 2026.

nONYC packages @onrefinance ONyc, a reinsurance-backed yield asset, for EVM chains starting with Monad and Ethereum, per Plume on October 13, 2026. ONyc has more than $225 million deployed across Solana DeFi, per the same post. Returns come from underwriting premiums and collateral, not token incentives.

FACTOR is a book of invoice factoring and working capital facilities, built with Tradable and Deep Ocean Partners, per Plume on September 9, 2026. It holds $10.41 million across Ethereum, Solana and Base at a 12.23% APY, per DefiLlama on October 29, 2026.

05Four credit vaults side by side

The four credit vaults pair a Plume wrapper with a specialist manager. Each one earns from a different real-world cash flow, and each one redeems on its own clock. nOPAL and nPRIME typically settle in days, while nFXCF settles at the end of each loan cycle and nONYC follows a monthly cycle.

Structure, manager and redemption terms come from the Plume vault directory and the nONYC vault page, both read on October 29, 2026. nOPAL dwarfs the rest, and nONYC is still early, with 22 holders on its vault page that day.

06Treasuries, bonds and basis trades

Plume launched nBASIS as its flagship institutional yield vault at the time. It holds @Bitwise's Crypto Carry Fund USCC and Invesco's USTB Treasury fund, both tokenized by Superstate, per Plume on July 8, 2026. USCC had more than $225 million in AUM and USTB more than $950 million at that date. nBASIS now holds about $148K, and Plume now calls nALPHA its flagship real-world yield vault, per the Plume vaults page on October 29, 2026.

nBND is a vault backed by the Fidelity Total Bond ETF FBND as its primary reserve asset, per Plume on October 5, 2026.

nTBILL runs on Ethereum, Solana, Plume, BNB Chain and Arc, with $5.1 million in TVL and a 3.7% target APY, per the Plume vaults page on October 29, 2026. nALPHA holds $12.31 million across Solana, Ethereum, Plume and Base at a 10.26% APY. nCLO holds $2.61 million at 4.72%. The nALPHA and nCLO figures come from DefiLlama yields on October 29, 2026.

@BinanceWallet opened nBASIS to its users on July 8, 2026. Plume Vaults on BNB Chain now hold $29.9 million, per rwa.xyz, and nearly all of it is nOPAL, which DefiLlama puts at $31.27 million on the chain, per DefiLlama yields, both on October 29, 2026.

@Bybit_Official added nOPAL to its RWA Earn product on August 27, 2026, after earlier Plume vaults on the exchange. @FordefiHQ put nOPAL and nFXCF in front of its 300+ institutional customers, who move more than $120 billion onchain each month, per Plume on September 8, 2026. Each deposit runs through the customer's existing Fordefi approval policy.

@ether_fi runs the largest partner vault on the Plume vaults page, with 1 vault and $36.0 million in TVL on October 29, 2026.

11Conclusion

Plume Vaults turn institutional credit, Treasuries and bond funds into one token per strategy. Brazilian receivables lead the book, and FalconX, Figure, OnRe, Bitwise, Invesco and Fidelity supply the rest.

The bigger story is distribution. Most vault value now lives on Ethereum, Solana and BNB Chain, and users reach it through Binance Wallet, Bybit, Fordefi, Robinhood Chain, Kamino and Morpho. When an asset manager wants a product to travel, Plume is the wrapper that moves it.
