My team and I have been paying close attention to the RWA track for a long time. During this time, we have talked to many institutions, and the three most difficult pain points for them to come in are distribution, compliance, and privacy. It can be said that whoever solves these three problems first will firmly grasp the dividends of RWA!
one ️⃣ problem
Traditional financial assets are distributed across various systems worldwide, with varying standards and fragmented information. Let me take bonds as an example. The registration, liquidation and custody of US treasury bond bonds and Asian corporate bonds are different processes. You need to move these assets onto the chain, not just by "labeling" them, but by solving how they flow in a unified ledger. For institutions, if this' distribution 'cannot be solved, they simply cannot use it and liquidity cannot be generated.
two ️⃣ Compliance issues
This is a big killer. The logic of traditional finance is that regulation comes first, without compliance, even if the returns are high, institutions dare not touch it. The trouble with RWA on chain is that it cannot be "anonymous and free" like DeFi, it must have built-in AML, KYC, and even licensing thresholds. That's also why you're seeing more and more agreements emphasizing licensed liquidity pools and compliance audits. Without this framework, big institutions' money simply cannot come in and dare not come in.
three ️⃣ Privacy issues
This is a pain point within the pain points. Many transactions cannot be fully disclosed when institutions are on the blockchain. For example, a huge bond transfer or corporate financing, if all of these data are transparent, it is equivalent to exposing one's trade secrets and risks to competitors. So what they want is: to enjoy the immutability and global settlement advantages of blockchain, while also protecting transaction details from being exposed.
Today when I saw Plume deploying Nightfall, I felt that the combination punches that hit these pain points were:
Privacy Protection: Using ZKP (Zero Knowledge Proof)+Rollup, large and complex asset transactions are "packaged" on the chain, where others cannot see the details, but can be verified by regulators when necessary.
• Maintain compliance: Nightfall also supports KYC and license gate control, in conjunction with Plume's own AML strategy, effectively crossing the red line of 'institutional trust'.
Overall, Plume is now creating a "specially repaired RWA highway" for institutions, with fences (compliant), privacy glass (ZKP), no traffic congestion (expandable), and safety. I believe that in the current market, at least so far, institutions have no choice but to make Plume the best RWA player!
