According to an official announcement from Plume, the network has officially launched nBND, an on-chain vault product backed by the Fidelity Total Bond ETF (FBND). FBND is an actively managed ETF that primarily invests in investment-grade bonds, high-yield bonds, and emerging market debt. Prior on-chain investment solutions had largely focused on short-duration treasuries, and the launch of nBND marks an extension into longer-duration, actively managed products for institutional-grade assets on-chain. Cynthia Lo Bessette, Head of Digital Asset Management at Fidelity, and Plume co-founder Teddy Pornprinya engaged in an in-depth discussion regarding these investment solutions.
According to reports, Bybit's institutional-grade real-world asset yield platform, RWA Earn (Bybit RWA Wealth), has launched the new nOPAL product, further expanding its institutional business and product portfolio.

According to The Block, Ethereum liquidity re-staking protocol ether.fi has partnered with onchain treasury management platform Plume to launch a new Real World Asset (RWA) yield vault. ether.fi has exclusively allocated $100 million to this vault. Funding sources include its liquidity provider community—comprising funds, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals—as well as managed capital from its existing liquidity vaults, which hold approximately $300 million in total value locked (TVL). The vault is natively integrated into the ether.fi application, enabling users to access institutional-grade yield-generating assets—including overcollateralized credit pools, AAA-rated CLOs, and bond ETFs—with underlying asset management totaling over $10 trillion.
