December 9, 2025. Plume Network has achieved a major regulatory milestone after receiving a commercial license from the Abu Dhabi Global Market Registration Authority. This achievement places Plume alongside global financial leaders like BlackRock, Deutsche Bank, and QCP Group as part of ADGM’s growing ecosystem of regulated blockchain entities. The license strengthens Plume’s mission to bring compliant real world asset tokenization to global markets, starting with the Middle East.
Plume is a modular Layer 2 chain engineered for tokenizing assets such as real estate, credit, bonds, and commodities. Backed by Haun Ventures, Galaxy Digital, and Apollo Global Management, the platform has spent much of 2025 building the regulatory stack required for institutional adoption. The ADGM approval arrives shortly after Plume’s registration with the US Securities and Exchange Commission as a transfer agent.
Market reaction was immediate. $PLUME climbed 7 percent following the announcement. This reflects optimism that institutional flows may accelerate as regulated RWA rails take shape.

The commercial license grants Plume the authority to operate formally within Abu Dhabi and establish a permanent office before the end of 2025. It also authorizes the platform to offer tokenized securities services under ADGM’s regulatory supervision.
Plume’s track record has already attracted attention. The platform has deployed more than $150 million in its alpha phase with RWA vaults that have delivered up to 11 percent APY. Integrations with Circle’s USDC and the Cross Chain Transfer Protocol have improved global liquidity. Partnerships with Centrifuge and Grove Finance have unlocked over $50 million in onchain capital for institutions.
ADGM’s approval validates Plume’s compliance, governance, and operational integrity. It also boosts confidence for traditional institutions exploring tokenization, especially as many look for regulated pathways to participate in RWA markets.
With the ADGM license secured, Plume is preparing to scale RWA operations across the Middle East, Africa, and emerging markets. The UAE’s regulatory clarity and fintech friendly environment make it an ideal base.
Plume plans to collaborate with regional banks and fintech firms to introduce tokenized products that align with the region’s push toward financial innovation and economic diversification. Analysts view this move as a strategic bridge between US based operations and fast growing Middle Eastern markets.
Plume’s modular plugins, non custodial trading via the Rooster Protocol DEX, and ve(3,3) incentive models are designed to create deep liquidity for tokenized assets. Early signals point to rising institutional onboarding, including use cases like onchain IPOs, fund administration, and structured RWA portfolios.
The Abu Dhabi Global Market has become one of the most respected financial zones in the world. Operating under its own civil and commercial code modeled after English common law, ADGM provides a protective and innovation friendly environment for financial institutions.
Its Financial Services Regulatory Authority oversees licensing for asset management, digital asset services, and tokenization activities. Over 1,500 regulated entities now operate within ADGM, including major banks and asset managers. It has welcomed blockchain firms with clear rules for custody, token issuance, and compliance. Recent approvals, including support for Tether’s USDT across multiple networks, reflect ADGM’s ambition to lead the next wave of digital finance.
Plume’s entry adds to this growing roster and positions the network for global partnership opportunities.
Plume ADGM license could accelerate institutional adoption of RWAs and become a catalyst for regulated tokenization at scale. Experts anticipate that Plume’s Global RWA Alliance may soon collaborate with major asset managers like WisdomTree and DigiFT to establish standards for cross chain interoperability.
The license strengthens Plume’s broader roadmap that includes the Ascend Accelerator for RWA startups and the Hong Kong RWA Bridge Program. These programs aim to unify global tokenization efforts and streamline capital flows between Asia, the Middle East, and the West.
As tokenized assets are projected to reach trillions over the next decade, Plume is now positioned as a strong contender for RWA leadership in 2026.
Real voices. Real reactions.
