- Users on Soneium can now earn from tokenized bonds and private loans with simple access.
- Plume connects real finance to blockchain, making it easier and safer to invest in.
- Sony’s tech and Plume’s system now bring money tools to apps that many people use daily.
Sony Block Solutions Labs’ Soneium and blockchain platform Plume have joined forces to bring real-world asset (RWA) yields on-chain. The initiative uses SkyLink, an interoperability layer developed by Plume, to enable RWA staking and yield transfer directly on Soneium’s Ethereum Layer-2 network. This integration allows Soneium’s 5.1 million users to access institutional-grade products like tokenized U.S. Treasuries and private credit instruments.
Blockchain Bridges Traditional Finance
Plume specializes in RWA finance and is now integrating SkyLink into Soneium’s infrastructure. This step provides seamless and secure asset transfer across blockchains. Through SkyLink, users can stake and earn yield from real-world assets without exiting the Soneium platform, significantly increasing ease of access. Plume supports over 180 companies and manages tokenized assets exceeding $4 billion, including issuers like Ondo Finance.
This partnership also paves the way for a Soneium large user base to connect directly to financial products backed by assets in an absolute sense. The expansion of blockchain adoption is broadening those who make use of it towards more traditional finance users-plume in itself means that “The Future of RWAfi isn’t waiting for assets to live on just one chain, but for allowing massive real yield to flow seamlessly wherever users are,” according to the CEO of Plume, Chris Yin. Further, it strengthens Plume’s vision of connecting decentralized platforms to real-world finance with scalable solutions in blockchain.
Soneium Expands Its Web3 Footprint
Soneium, developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs—a joint venture between Sony Group Corporation and Web3 company Startale Group—is at the forefront of consumer-facing blockchain development. Soneium plans to launch blockchain-powered mini-apps via the LINE messaging platform, increasing accessibility for daily users. The platform is designed for creators and consumers, aiming to make Web3 tools practical and engaging.
For the sake of broader applications, Soneium also partnered with Moca Network, one of the members of the Plume ecosystem. This partnership will explore digital identity and anime IP such as Solo Leveling, as well as blockchain-based gaming.
Ryohei Suzuki, Director of Sony Block Solutions Labs, said,
The ability to offer access to real-world yield through tokenized assets is a major step forward in making blockchain services relevant to mainstream financial use cases. This partnership with Plume unlocks a compelling new layer of value for our ecosystem and users.

Can Blockchain Drive Real Financial Utility?
The collaboration underlines a joint mission to make blockchain finance tangible, usable, and valuable to mainstream users. Plume, dubbed the first full-stack RWA chain, brings its tokenization engine and EVM-compatible infrastructure into Sony’s Web3 strategy. Hence, users will now experience secure, yield-generating products on-chain, without complex cross-chain interactions. As traditional finance merges with blockchain infrastructure, the move by Sony’s Soneium and Plume could set a precedent for future financial services.
