Plume and Sony’s Soneium Collab Aims to Tokenize Real-World Yields—Because TradFi Just Wasn’t Complicated Enough

Web3 infrastructure player Plume teams up with Sony’s blockchain arm Soneium to bridge real-world assets (RWAs) onto the blockchain. The goal? Let crypto degens chase yield in the same old boring bonds—but now with extra steps.

Why This Matters: Tokenized RWAs are the industry’s latest shiny object, promising ’institutional adoption’ since 2020. This partnership at least brings Sony’s clout to the table—assuming corporate blockchain divisions still exist by 2026.

The Bottom Line: If this works, it’ll prove crypto can reinvent finance… by replicating it exactly as-is, just slower and with more gas fees. Progress!

Soneium’s involvement 

Sony Block Solutions Labs, a joint initiative between Sony Group Corporation and Web3 firm Startale Group, develop Soneium. 

The blockchain is designed for consumer and creator use cases and is preparing to launch mini-apps through the LINE messaging platform.

 Soneium has also partnered with Plume ecosystem participant Moca Network to expand into areas such as anime IP (like Solo Leveling), gaming, and digital identity.

“The ability to offer access to real-world yield through tokenized assets is a major step forward in making blockchain relevant for mainstream finance,” said Ryohei Suzuki, Director of SBSL. “This partnership with Plume unlocks a compelling new layer of value for our ecosystem and users.”

With more than 180 projects already building on Plume, the network positions itself as the first full-stack RWA chain, offering EVM compatibility, a tokenization engine, and integrated financial infrastructure. 

The partnership with Soneium is seen as a major step in Plume’s vision of creating an interconnected RWAfi network—enabling real-world assets and their yields to Flow between different blockchains.

PLUME is up 10% on the news, according to crypto.news data.
