$PLUME is an EVM-compatible blockchain built for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) such as credit, treasuries and commodities. Its pitch is compliance at the protocol level: issuance, identity and transfer rules are built into the chain rather than bolted on by each issuer.
The story in late 2026 is a split one. Regulatory standing and user count are strong. Capital, and the token price, are not.
Price: down about 94% from the peak
$PLUME launched in January 2025 and hit an all-time high near $0.247 in March 2025. It traded around $0.08 in September 2025. Trackers in September 2026 show roughly $0.011 to $0.018, depending on the day and venue, so the drawdown from peak is roughly 92% to 95%.
Capital: the incentive-era money did not stay
Tokenized asset value on
$PLUME peaked near $645M in Q3 2025 and was about $177M by August 2026. DeFi total value locked fell much harder, from about $236.7M in November 2025 to about $6.5M (RWA.xyz and
#DefiLlama figures, as reported by CoinPaprika). In other words, the assets are still there in wrapped form, but few are being used in
#DeFi. Tokenomics: dilution is the overhang
Total supply is capped at 10 billion $plume Trackers put circulating supply at about 6.4 to 6.6 billion, so a market cap near $90M to $120M sits under a fully diluted value of $150M to $180M. One analyst source describes 80% of supply as still to unlock, which conflicts with those figures, so check the current vesting schedule yourself before relying on either number.
The bull and bear cases
Bull: if tokenized securities scale, a chain with a transfer agent licence and compliance modules is well placed, and the token is priced at a fraction of its 2025 valuation. Management has projected large growth in 2026, though the August figures so far point the other way.
Bear: holder counts do not equal capital. TVL has collapsed, competitors such as Ondo Chain and Provenance are issuer-controlled and well funded, and future unlocks add supply into weak demand.
