Decentralized perpetual futures exchange Grvt is collaborating with Plume to launch three tokenized real world asset (RWA) yield products, giving users access to fixed income and structured credit strategies through a self-custodial wallet.
According to Tuesday’s announcement, these products will be integrated directly into Grvt’s platform and include exposures related to tokenized institutional assets, including the $2.2 billion iShares AAA CLO Active ETF.
The integration adds three investment products to Grvt’s trading platform: Base Yield Funds, Balanced Funds, and Opportunistic Funds, allowing users to access tokenized yield strategies from the same self-custodial balances they already use for trading, without having to move assets to another wallet, brokerage account, or custody provider.
Plume is a blockchain platform focused on tokenized real-world assets. According to the announcement, these products combine tokenized fixed income exposure with on-chain yield infrastructure built through Plume’s network.
Perpetual futures contracts (PERPS) are financial instruments used by traders to speculate on the price movements of an asset without actually owning the underlying asset. Unlike traditional futures contracts, PERP has no expiration date, allowing investors to hold positions for as long as they wish.
According to CoinGecko, total perpetual DEX trading in the 24-hour period ending at 8pm UTC on Monday was $15.2 billion. Grvt’s trading volume was $1.23 billion.

Grvt integrated the Aave lending protocol in February, allowing traders to earn yield on margin collateral while keeping open perpetual futures positions.
Platforms are increasingly integrating tokenized RWA
The tokenized real-world assets sector has grown to more than $34 billion in on-chain value, up from about $5.8 billion at the beginning of 2025, according to data from RWA.xyz.
This growth coincides with a move by crypto exchanges, trading platforms, and tokenization companies to bring blockchain-based versions of traditional financial products on-chain.

In March, EtherFi allocated $25 million to the Plume’s Nest protocol, offering users a tokenized yield strategy tied to institutional assets and government securities. That same month, Australian cryptocurrency exchange BTC Markets announced it had notified the country’s securities regulator of its plans to apply for a market license to tokenize and offer real-world assets, including stocks and bonds.
In February, Binance added Ondo Finance’s tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds to the Binance Alpha platform, including blockchain-based versions of stocks, ETFs, and commodities. Also in February, Securitize partnered with Hamilton Lane, OKX Ventures, and stablecoin infrastructure company STBL to launch a stablecoin backed by tokenized private credit assets.
Boston Consulting Group said in a report earlier this month that tokenized funds, collateral and fixed income products are among the blockchain-based financial products most likely to be adopted by a wider range of institutions over the next decade.
The report states that digital assets are increasingly moving beyond speculative trading and into infrastructure tied to payments, payments and capital markets.
