Plume Network announced Backed as its newest ecosystem partner, offering fully-backed and freely transferable security tokens that bring the value of major equities like Tesla, S&P 500, and Nvidia on-chain. The partnership aims to enhance financial accessibility through interoperable and compliant solutions.

Plume explained in a post on X that Backed issues bTokens, which are digital tokens representing real-world equities. These tokens grant holders a legal claim to the value of the underlying stock, with blockchain technology ensuring ownership verification. Backed’s tokenized equities will also be integrated into various decentralized finance (DeFi) strategies within the Plume Network’s RWAfi ecosystem. Users can utilize these assets as collateral for loans in lending markets or provide liquidity in decentralized exchange pools to earn yield.

According to Plume Network, its collaboration with Backed expands global access to traditional financial assets on-chain, bringing investment tools typically used by hedge funds and banks to a wider audience. This collaboration integrates TradFi assets with DeFi composability. The team said:

“Together, our partnership opens new doors for users worldwide to access and utilize traditional financial assets onchain – putting the tools of hedge funds and investment banks into the hands of everyone. TradFi Assets meet DeFi composability, all with Plume and Backed “

Enhancing Yield Through Strategic Partnerships

Prior to this announcement, Plume Network revealed a broader collaboration with Spicenet and Symbiotic aimed at transforming tokenized RWAs from passive holdings into active network security. The integration combines lending and staking to enhance yields while expanding the utility of tokenized assets beyond conventional on-chain applications.

Plume shared that the collaboration utilizes Plume’s infrastructure, Symbiotic’s security model, and Spicenet’s validation layer to turn passive RWAs into active components of network security.

Backed Expands Tokenization Efforts Through Key Partnerships

Meanwhile, Backed announced on December 4 that it has joined forces with 0xSonicLabs, Fortlake Asset Management, and Chainlink to tokenize Fortlake’s Sigma Opportunities Fund on the Sonic blockchain. This initiative will introduce digital tokens representing fund units, integrating permissionless DeFi features and cross-chain functionality through Chainlink’s infrastructure. Backed noted that this marks the debut of Backed’s Tokenization-as-a-Service (TaaS) offering, signaling continued efforts to help institutions adopt blockchain-based financial solutions.

In another move to integrate traditional finance with blockchain, Backed partnered with Assetera in December to bring regulated tokenized trading to non-US retail investors. Assetera, a licensed MiFID exchange built on Polygon, supports tokenized trackers for NVDA, COIN, and the SPX, expanding access to blockchain-based financial instruments.
