Plume Network and Chateau Capital Partner to Tokenize Illiquid Assets and Unlock $500 Million in Private Market Investments
Plume Network, a fully integrated layer-1 modular blockchain for real-world asset finance, has announced a strategic partnership with Chateau Capital to tokenize illiquid assets and unlock over $500 million in private market investments. This collaboration aims to bring premium private market investments onto the blockchain, providing new opportunities for global investors.
Chateau Capital, known for its decentralized finance infrastructure that bridges traditional finance and DeFi, will play a pivotal role in this partnership. By tokenizing traditionally illiquid assets into composable ERC20 tokens, investors will have access to institutional-grade investment opportunities such as hedge fund strategies, pre-IPO shares, and private equity investments.
One of the key aspects of this partnership is the democratization of private markets, allowing retail investors to participate in opportunities that were previously reserved for institutional players. With investments starting as low as $1 USDC, individuals can now access assets like pre-IPO shares of companies such as Circle, Anthropic, OpenAI, and ByteDance.
Hao Jun Tan, CEO of Chateau Capital, expressed the significance of this partnership by stating, “This partnership represents a monumental step toward democratizing Private Markets. Through this integration, anyone can access elite private market deals via tokenized assets built for the DeFi era.”
This collaboration follows another recent announcement by the Plume team regarding a partnership with RWA platform Zoth and SC Ventures-incubated digital infrastructure platform Olea. Together, these companies aim to accelerate the on-chain adoption of fixed-income pools, further expanding the tokenized RWA market.
The tokenized RWA market is currently valued at $13.7 billion, with a 4.7% growth in the past month. The partnerships between Plume, Chateau Capital, Zoth, and Olea reflect the growing interest and investment in the tokenization of real-world assets, signaling a shift towards a more inclusive and accessible investment landscape.
