Plume and Goldfinch Partner to Expand Access to Private Credit from Apollo, Ares, Golub, KKR and More

New York, United States, March 20th, 2025, Chainwire

Plume, the first full-stack RWAfi (real world asset finance) chain, and Goldfinch, the leading onchain private credit platform, today announced a partnership to expand access to high quality private credit assets on Plume’s flagship RWA staking platform, Nest. This partnership will widen access to institutional-grade private credit funds and make them seamlessly accessible within Plume’s ecosystem. By leveraging Goldfinch Prime’s compliant, composite private credit product, Nest enables users to access sustainable yield in a liquid product.

Private credit has emerged as one of the fastest-growing sectors in the financial industry, providing businesses with essential expansion financing amid stringent banking regulations. As a pioneer in bringing RWAs onchain, Goldfinch has already enabled thousands of users to access sustainable, productive yields. While private credit has historically been reserved for wealthy investors, Plume is democratizing access through this integration with Goldfinch Prime.

For Plume, this partnership significantly strengthens its flagship staking protocol by adding institutional-grade private credit to its yield offerings. Through Nest's vaults, users gain access to a new asset class that complements Plume's existing RWAfi ecosystem, transforming these traditionally restricted investment vehicles into permissionless, liquid assets that any Plume user can easily access.

Goldfinch Prime brings together world-class alternative asset managers including Apollo, Ares, Golub, and Stellus – who collectively manage over $1T – through specially built rails that subscribe into these funds and stream yield onchain. The Goldfinch Prime token is a composite product - using specially built rails to subscribe into these funds and stream their yield onchain. Through Plume's Nest vaults, these private credit yields become permissionless, liquid, and composable within Plume's RWAfi ecosystem, enabling access to sustainable 10-12% returns.

“This partnership shows how we can leverage Plume’s infrastructure to turn previously inaccessible investment opportunities into fully permissionless and composable assets,” said Teddy Pornprinya, Co-Founder and CBO of Plume. “It’s not just about bringing TradFi products onchain, we want to make them better and more useful for crypto-natives everywhere onchain.”

“We’re excited to partner with Plume on this as a way to make Goldfinch Prime even more useful for crypto native investors,” added Goldfinch Co-Founder and CTO, Blake West.

Goldfinch Prime is establishing itself as the leading private credit product by partnering with multiple managers to offer an indexed private credit product with a single token. The platform continues to add world class asset managers, bringing institutional yield products directly into DeFi.This collaboration between Plume and Goldfinch will accelerate tokenization of the alternative asset industry, allowing investors to buy, trade, and collateralize high-quality yield products in a significant advancement for the space.
