According to ME News, on December 17 (UTC+8), the New York Times published an in-depth report (What Trump’s Embrace of Crypto Has Unleashed), featuring Plume co-founders Chris Yin and Teddy Pornprinya as representative figures in the shift of U.S. cryptocurrency policy towards the financialization wave of real-world assets (RWA).
It is reported that Chris and Teddy have frequently appeared in Washington and the core policy circle recently, engaging in discussions with high-ranking officials such as U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on cryptocurrency finance and asset tokenization, and meeting with Trump himself. The report indicates that Plume is pushing to extend blockchain technology from encrypted assets to the tokenization of real-world assets such as company equity, agricultural assets, and energy assets.
(The New York Times) mentions that Plume has met with the U.S. SEC cryptocurrency working group, participated in the White House cryptocurrency asset report, and established its U.S. headquarters in the Empire State Building, accelerating the construction of compliant RWA financial infrastructure. The article also reveals that Plume has reached a commercial cooperation with World Liberty (Trump family cryptocurrency project), further highlighting its strategic position in the new round of cryptocurrency policy environment in the U.S.
This report is seen as the first systematic presentation by mainstream media of the direct connection between RWA, compliant DeFi, and the relaxation of U.S. policies, with Plume standing at the core of this trend. (Source: ME)
