Plume Network, a modular blockchain specialized in real-world asset tokenization, has joined the DTCC’s Digital Assets Solutions Industry Working Group. This group, which has expanded to over 100 member firms since its inception in May 2026, focuses on advancing interoperability between blockchain systems and traditional financial settlement infrastructure. Plume brings unique regulatory standing to the group, having registered as an SEC transfer agent in October 2025. This status allows the network to legally maintain authoritative onchain shareholder records, effectively replacing traditional intermediaries for compliance and ownership tracking. By participating in this working group, Plume is positioned to influence the standards for custody, settlement, and compliance reporting as the industry prepares for the DTCC's broader commercial tokenization launch in October 2026. This development is significant because it bridges the gap between specialized RWA blockchains and the mainstream infrastructure that settles the majority of U.S. securities transactions. As the DTCC moves toward scaling tokenized assets like Russell 1000 stocks and ETFs, Plume’s existing interoperability and regulatory credentials provide a direct pathway to support institutional demand.
The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) is the primary infrastructure provider for the U.S. financial markets, responsible for the clearing and settlement of the vast majority of securities transactions. Plume Network is a modular, EVM-compatible blockchain specifically engineered to handle the compliance and technical requirements of tokenizing real-world assets onchain.
