  • Provide compliance training and guidance to employees, including sales, trading, and operations teams.
  • Manage regulatory examinations, inquiries, and filings, such as Form BD amendments, Form TA-2 (Annual Report for Transfer Agents), Form U4/U5, and annual compliance reports.
  • Collaborate with senior management to integrate compliance considerations into business strategies and product development, particularly in US digital asset offerings.
  • Investigate and resolve compliance-related incidents, including client complaints and ethical concerns.
  • Maintain accurate records of compliance activities and prepare reports for the Board of Directors and executive leadership.

Plume Opens Onchain Access to Fidelity’s $28B Bond ETF Through New nBND Vault

Plume has launched nBND, a new tokenized vault that provides onchain access to the $28 billion Fidelity Total Bond ETF (FBND). Unlike existing RWA products that focus primarily on short-term U.S. Treasury bills, this vault introduces exposure to an actively managed portfolio containing government, corporate, and mortgage-backed bonds. The structure functions by holding the traditional ETF as the primary reserve asset, effectively bridging traditional fixed-income markets with blockchain-based financial applications. This development marks a strategic shift in the RWA sector, moving beyond simple cash-equivalent products toward more complex, diversified bond strategies. Plume CEO Chris Yin noted that institutional investors are increasingly seeking duration and active management capabilities onchain. As the tokenized Treasury market has grown to $15 billion, this integration aims to capture demand for programmable fixed-income assets. The success of the nBND vault will ultimately depend on its adoption rate and the utility of its tokenized positions within decentralized finance ecosystems.

Plume Accelerates Tokenization's Role in Global Finance with nBND Vault

Plume has launched the nBND vault, marking the first time the Fidelity Total Bond ETF (FBND) has been utilized as the primary reserve asset for an onchain tokenized vault. This development signals a strategic shift in the RWA market from short-duration Treasury products toward actively managed, duration-focused fixed-income instruments. By integrating a major institutional ETF into its platform, Plume aims to provide investors with the same building blocks used in traditional finance while leveraging blockchain for increased programmability and collateral utility. The move addresses institutional demand for diverse, battle-tested assets beyond the current $15 billion tokenized Treasury market. Fidelity Investments, through its Head of Digital Asset Management Cynthia Lo Bessette, highlighted the collaboration as a key step in integrating tokenized assets into mainstream market infrastructure. Plume CEO Chris Yin emphasized that this expansion is essential for capturing a portion of the $100 trillion global fixed-income market. The initiative underscores the growing synergy between crypto-native platforms and established financial giants to bridge traditional expertise with onchain efficiency.

AsiaStrategy Signs Memorandum of Understanding with Plume Network to Advance Real-World Asset Tokenisation Across Asia

AsiaStrategy, a Nasdaq-listed firm formerly known as SORA, has signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with the institutional open finance platform Plume to explore a joint venture for tokenized financial products. The proposed partnership aims to combine Plume’s technical infrastructure and regulatory licenses with AsiaStrategy’s distribution network across key Asian markets, including Japan, Korea, Thailand, and Hong Kong. By leveraging Plume’s existing regulatory standing, such as its Bermuda Monetary Authority license and SEC transfer-agent registration, the companies intend to structure and issue tokenized assets for non-U.S. investors. This initiative represents a strategic pivot for AsiaStrategy, moving beyond its current Bitcoin treasury and digital-asset lending business toward a scalable, fee-based model driven by on-chain asset volume. The collaboration highlights the growing institutional focus on compliant, on-chain financial infrastructure within the Asian and Gulf regions. While no specific products have been launched, the move underscores a broader industry trend where firms prioritize licensed, institutional-grade frameworks to capture the transition of traditional assets to blockchain rails. The venture remains subject to definitive documentation and regulatory approvals in each target jurisdiction.
