Ether.fi says it is allocating $100 million to a Plume real-world asset (RWA) vault designed to provide users with yield. The announcement describes the allocation as coming from a combination of ether.fi’s liquidity provider base and managed capital drawn from its existing liquid vaults. Plume positions the RWA vault as an institutional-style yield offering within an “open finance” model, intended to connect traditional asset yield with on-chain access for ether.fi users. One outlet characterizes the allocation as being made exclusively into the Plume RWA vault. The reports also link the effort to ether.fi’s large customer deposit base, which one source places at more than $6 billion, and frame the move as part of expanding how RWA yield can be accessed through DeFi vault structures. No details are provided in the excerpts on the vault’s specific underlying assets, risk controls, fee structure, or expected return profile. The information focuses on the size of the allocation, its funding sources within ether.fi, and the goal of bringing RWA yield to ether.fi participants through Plume.
