Overview
- On Oct. 6, the SEC registered Plume as a transfer agent, a step outlets describe as the first on-chain approval for a native crypto firm.
- The designation authorizes on-chain shareholder ledgers, ownership transfers and compliance reporting with connections to SEC and DTCC systems.
- PLUME jumped roughly 25–31% intraday with a sharp rise in trading volume following the announcement, according to market trackers.
- Plume reports more than 200,000 real‑world asset holders and over $62 million tokenized via its Nest protocol in three months.
- The company says transfer‑agent operations are live and it is targeting a Q1 2026 Nest vault rollout while pursuing ATS and broker‑dealer licenses to serve 40 Act funds.
