Plume, the real world asset (RWA) chain, welcomed the inclusion of its consultation and insights in the President's Working Group on Digital Asset Markets report. Plume was highlighted for its contribution of market insights on tokenization of real world assets.
Last week, Plume released a set of forward-looking policy recommendations calling for the development of capital markets policy. In the memo, the team called for capital markets regulation that matches the innovation unlocked by stablecoins. The Working Group's newly released national roadmap affirms that vision, highlighting the role of permissionless infrastructure, tokenized financial products, and updated regulatory frameworks in advancing U.S. leadership in digital finance.
'The Report is a full-throated endorsement of permissionless blockchains and decentralized finance at the heart of a future onchain financial system. Plume has worked to sate global demand for US dollar assets through offshore work arounds. This Report is the blueprint for the onshoring of onchain capital markets under a regulatory framework that addresses real risks but also realizes new opportunities,' said Salman Bananei, General Counsel at Plume.
The Report aligns with Plume's core belief that open, permissionless blockchains and DeFi can strengthen markets when paired with responsible oversight. This reinforces the value of decentralized infrastructure under thoughtful regulation.
It also echoes Plume's call for regulatory clarity, supporting innovation sandboxes, safe harbors, and updated rules around custody, registration, and capital treatment, especially for assets on public blockchains.
The Report affirms that tokenized assets are the future of finance. The team at Plume have advocated for policies that enable safe tokenized yield and other onchain financial products as a part of robust onchain capital markets.
On stablecoins, the Report aligns with Plume's position that they can modernize U.S. payments and that the government should support the 'development and growth of lawful and legitimate dollar-backed stablecoins worldwide.'
Finally, the Report supports tax reforms long advocated by Plume, including treating stablecoins as money and creating a digital asset-specific tax category to support compliant onchain activity.
