Job Summary

Plume is hiring a Regional Lead to establish and grow our footprint across the Middle East and North Africa — a region with fast-growing institutional appetite for tokenized real-world assets and increasingly clear regulatory frameworks (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain). You will drive partnerships with regional financial institutions, exchanges, and family offices, while representing Plume with regulators and industry bodies across the region.

Key Responsibilities

Build and execute Plume's regional GTM strategy across priority MENA markets (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar), guided by regulatory maturity and institutional demand.
Source and close partnerships with regional banks, asset managers, exchanges, and sovereign-adjacent investment vehicles.
Engage with regional regulators (e.g., ADGM, DFSA, CBB, CMA) and industry associations to support compliant market entry and expansion.
Represent Plume at regional conferences and in media/analyst conversations as the primary regional spokesperson.
Partner with global Legal and Compliance to structure partnerships appropriately for regional regulatory regimes.
Build relationships with local family offices, VCs, and institutional allocators exploring tokenized asset exposure.
Report on regional pipeline, partnerships, and adoption metrics to global leadership.

Qualifications

5+ years of business development or institutional partnerships experience in MENA financial services, fintech, or crypto.
Fluent Arabic and English; deep familiarity with the regulatory and cultural landscape across GCC markets in particular.
Existing network across regional banks, exchanges, family offices, or regulators.
Strong understanding of blockchain fundamentals and ability to translate them credibly for traditional institutional counterparties.
Comfortable operating independently in a nascent regional market with significant ownership.

Preferred Experience

Prior experience with a crypto exchange, fintech, or asset manager operating under ADGM, DFSA, or similar regional frameworks.
Existing relationships with sovereign wealth funds, family offices, or regional institutional allocators.
Experience navigating Islamic finance considerations relevant to structuring tokenized products for the region.

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.
