Apollo Global Management has invested a seven-figure sum in Plume, a blockchain infrastructure provider focused on real-world assets (RWAs), as reported by Coin Desk.

The investment marks another strategic move by the private equity giant into digital finance.

Plume operates a modular, Ethereum-compatible protocol that enables the tokenisation of a broad range of real-world assets—from financial instruments and carbon credits to collectibles.

The platform is designed to bring these assets on-chain and make them usable in traditional decentralised finance (DeFi) activities such as lending, borrowing, and trading.

The capital injection will support Plume’s full-stack infrastructure rollout and help expand access to its ecosystem, which already supports more than 18 million crypto wallets and integrates with over 200 protocols.

Apollo’s investment follows a recent study by Ripple and Boston Consulting Group, which projects the tokenised asset market could grow to $18.9tn by 2033.

The investment also aligns with Apollo’s broader strategy to harness blockchain and Web3 technologies to enhance access to alternative assets.

“Apollo is focused on technologies that broaden access to institutional-quality products and create more seamless, innovative client experiences,” said Christine Moy, partner and head of digital assets at Apollo.

“As private assets and funds increasingly move on-chain, Plume represents a new kind of infrastructure focused on digital asset utility, investor engagement, and next-generation financial solutions—advancing the development of a more efficient and programmable financial system.”
