EtherFi, a crypto platform offering yield and staking services, and Plume, a blockchain focused on real-world asset infrastructure, announced a $25 million allocation into the Nest RWA protocol. The move brings tokenized real-world yield directly into a user-facing onchain environment.
The integration will roll out in two stages. First, EtherFi will reallocate funds into the nBASIS vault, which is powered by Superstate, an asset manager focused on tokenized funds, through its USCC Crypto Carry Fund. At a later stage, a custom RWA vault built by Nest will be added directly to the EtherFi interface. The nBASIS vault gives onchain exposure to strategies combining crypto basis trading, staking, and government securities.
EtherFi is positioning RWAs as a core part of user accounts rather than a secondary allocation. The integration targets more than $6 billion in user deposits, expanding access to new sources of yield.
