Plume Network, the first full-stack L1 blockchain to fully support RWAfi (real world asset finance), today announced a strategic partnership with Whinfell Partners LLC (Whinfell) to bring a range of institutional-grade credit instruments and diversified yield assets to its ecosystem. With Plumes flagship staking protocol Nest, Whinfell will provide high-end assets and strategies to Plumes growing user base, including Carlyle, Pimco and Simplifys ETFs, which will be first available to early users in Nests RWA vault.
Whinfell will professionally provide users with financial products that were previously difficult to access, while improving transparency and efficiency. This cooperation will launch a variety of structured credit instruments, aiming to provide stable returns while strictly adhering to compliance and audit standards.
“By partnering with Plume Network, we are taking an important step toward making institutional-grade financial products more accessible to more people,” said Wes Thornburgh, Partner at Whinfell. “Our goal is to provide Nest users with a secure and efficient way to gain exposure to yield-generating assets.”
The Nest Vault on Plume Network will introduce Whinfells selection of customized public and private credit strategies, which are exclusively available to Plume users. Whinfell partners Wes and Clark Thornburgh use their decades of experience at companies such as AXA Investment Management and JPMorgan Chase, as well as their exclusive $5 billion in assets to create on-chain products and provide users with high-quality choices.
“We are used to playing a significant role in the industry, and one of our most unique strategies is to focus on serving institutional investors who hold more than $100 million in Bitcoin,” said Clark Thornburgh, partner at Whinfell, who mentioned that Whinfell is able to provide stable returns for its high-net-worth clients.
This vault, and many others, are made possible by Whinfell’s partnership with Plural, a tokenized protocol and brokerage platform that runs on Plume’s infrastructure.
“Plural is bringing renewable energy investing to the blockchain,” said Adam Silver, CEO and co-founder of Plural. “But if you look under the hood, you’ll see that we have a robust compliance, tokenization, and distribution management technology stack that is critical to bringing a variety of real-world assets to the blockchain. Plume will drive trillions of dollars into the RWA space and increase TVL in the crypto market overall - we couldn’t be more excited to be Plume’s tokenization partner of choice.”
Plumes RWAfi ecosystem will play an important role in the successful launch and management of Whinfells tokenized products and provide the infrastructure needed to support its entry into the blockchain market. This collaboration not only enhances the user experience, but also sets a new benchmark for the integration of traditional finance and blockchain innovation.
