$PLUME $PLUME Investment Analysis: Has CZ Invested? Potential and Risk Assessment Yes, CZ (Changpeng Zhao, former Binance CEO) has invested in Plume Network through his investment fund YZi Labs. This endorsement marks Plume's fundraising round in March 2025, signaling CZ's entry into the RWA (Real World Assets) field. YZi Labs is CZ's "new investment arm," focusing on the BNB Chain ecosystem and emerging narratives (such as RWA, BTCFi), with Plume seen as its first RWA investment, instilling confidence and attracting subsequent institutions (like Apollo Global, AUM $512B). This is not a direct personal investment by CZ but through the strategic fund of YZi Labs, although the community commonly refers to it as "CZ's investment."

Plume Network is the first EVM-compatible L1 chain focused on RWAfi (RWA + DeFi), aiming to tokenize traditional assets (such as government bonds, real estate, private equity) and seamlessly integrate DeFi (lending, trading, leverage). It utilizes the Arbitrum Orbit technology stack + Celestia DA, ensuring low fees and high throughput. Currently in the private testing phase, over 180 projects are being built, with a TVL exceeding $577M (September 2025 data), capturing 50% of global RWA investors.
