Partnership Brings Tokenized Real-World Assets to Decentralized Trading
Decentralized perpetual futures exchange Grvt has partnered with Plume to launch three tokenized real-world asset yield products directly integrated into Grvt's self-custodial platform. The Base Yield Fund, Balanced Fund, and Opportunistic Fund will allow users to access fixed-income and structured credit strategies from the same wallet balance used for perpetual futures trading, without requiring separate custody arrangements or transfers across multiple accounts. The integration extends Grvt's earlier effort to make idle trading capital productive—in February, the platform integrated Aave to enable traders to earn yield on margin collateral while maintaining open perpetual positions. The partnership applies the same logic to institutional-grade tokenized yield products. This move reflects broader growth in the RWA sector, which has expanded to more than $34 billion in onchain value, up from approximately $5.8 billion at the start of 2025, according to RWA.xyz data.
Product Structure and Asset Exposure
The three funds are designed around distinct risk and return profiles. The Base Yield Fund targets lower-risk yield exposure, the Balanced Fund provides broader fixed-income exposure, and the Opportunistic Fund focuses on structured credit and bond strategies with a higher risk-return profile.
The products include exposure tied to tokenized institutional-grade assets, including the $2.2 billion iShares AAA CLO Active ETF. Plume's role is to provide the tokenized RWA infrastructure through its Nest architecture, which allows fixed-income strategies to sit alongside DeFi-native yield sources within a shared yield layer. This composability enables tokenized funds, credit exposure, and collateral to integrate into trading and wealth platforms without requiring users to leave crypto-native infrastructure.
Self-Custody Integration and User Access
The primary operational change is simplified access. Traditional fixed-income and structured credit products typically require brokerage onboarding, regional eligibility checks, separate custody arrangements, and minimum allocation thresholds—barriers especially relevant for non-U.S. users and crypto-native investors.
Grvt's integration is designed to reduce this fragmentation. Users can opt into tokenized RWA investment products from the same wallet balance used for trading. Withdrawals are designed to remain instant under normal conditions, and users can view yield exposure directly within the product interface. This supports Grvt's broader "one balance" approach, where trading capital and invested capital sit under a single composable balance. Over time, tokenized RWA assets could also function as productive collateral within this structure.
However, the model retains familiar risks. Tokenized RWA products depend on underlying asset quality, fund structure, liquidity terms, smart contract controls, and the legal framework around claims on real-world instruments. Self-custody improves user control but does not eliminate product, credit, or liquidity risk.
より広いRWA市場の勢い
この提携は、暗号と従来型金融の両方でトークン化された実世界資産の導入が加速していることを反映しています。最近の市場動向としては、3月にEtherFiがPlumeのNestプロトコルに2,500万ドルを割り当て、機関投資家の資産や政府証券に紐づくトークン化された利回り戦略へのユーザーのエクスポージャーを提供することが挙げられます。ほかのプラットフォームも、トークン化された株式、債券へのエクスポージャー、ETF連動型の商品、そしてプライベートクレジットを裏付けとするステーブルコインの構造へと進んでいます。
ボストン・コンサルティング・グループは、トークン化されたファンド、担保、そして固定金利商品が、今後10年でより広範な機関投資家の採用が見込まれる、ブロックチェーンに基づく金融商品として挙げています。デジタル資産は、投機的な取引を超えて、支払い、決済、そして資本市場のインフラへとシフトしていくでしょう。
