Plume and Mercado Bitcoin To Tokenize $500M Real-World Assets, Driving RWA Adoption Across Latin America
New York, Unites States / New York, August 7th, 2025, Chainwire
Tokenizing $40M in real-world assets in four months, Mercado Bitcoin & Plume are reinforcing demand for blockchain-based capital markets in Latin America
Plume, the first full-stack blockchain and ecosystem dedicated to real-world asset finance, and MB | Mercado Bitcoin, Latin America’s leading digital asset investment platform, recently met their 24-month goal of $40 million worth of real-world assets onchain in just four months. The projects are now setting their sights on reaching $500 million.
The majority of the current portfolio consists of private credit instruments, including asset-backed securities, consumer credit, corporate debt, and accounts receivable, opening up distribution to global investors. Plume and MB | Mercado Bitcoin are dedicated to expanding this access over a five-year period.
“Surpassing $40 million in tokenized assets so quickly is a validation that the market is ready for real-world assets onchain, at scale,” commented Chris Yin, CEO of Plume. “Emerging markets, and Latin America in particular, are leading this movement because the need for better capital access is real. We built Plume to support exactly this kind of adoption, and we’re proud to work with MB to bring high-quality financial products to a broader, global audience.”
The milestone underscores Plume and MB’s shared mission to open up access to institutional-grade financial products through blockchain technology, bringing efficient and transparent capital markets to both global investors and underserved businesses in emerging markets.
Powered by Plume and structured and distributed by MB | Mercado Bitcoin, these tokenized assets can be seamlessly integrated with DeFi lending, borrowing, and staking protocols. This creates new opportunities for yield generation, liquidity provision, and cross-border financial inclusion, all without the inefficiencies of traditional financial markets.
“We believe tokenization is a powerful tool for inclusion, both in terms of who can invest, and who can raise capital,” said Fabricio Tota, Vice President of Business Development of MB | Mercado Bitcoin. “Together with Plume, we are unlocking new growth pathways for the region’s financial ecosystem. This expansion of our partnership reflects the rising demand for blockchain-based private credit and RWA investment opportunities in Latin America.”
As Latin America’s largest crypto platform, MB has been at the forefront of tokenizing real-world assets to create new forms of access and liquidity. This initiative has opened the door for small and medium-sized businesses across Brazil to raise capital more efficiently, while enabling global and local investors to participate in previously hard-to-access yield opportunities.
