🤝 Apollo Invests 7 Figures in Plume

Clearly institutions are doubling down on tokenization now with investments starting to flow. This makes sense now that sentiment around tokenization is stronger and aligned partnerships matter for expanding into the web3 space.

What better way to partner and align than putting your money where your mouth is? Just yesterday we saw that Apollo Global Management has invested 7 figures into Plume Network 👏👏👏

The whole investment comes from several Apollo-managed funds that will benefit from Plume’s performance. At it’s core, Plume Network consists of its own chain, tokenization engine, stablecoin, and wallet with other cool offerings like SkyLink to distribute yield multi-chain.

With $700 billion AUM, the asset manager specializes in alternatives - a sector that could greatly benefit from blockchain. Apollo is experiencing it firsthand as an issuer through $ACRED and now investing into infrastructure that powers tokenization across multiple asset classes, including real estate, solar assets, collectibles, equities, and more and onchain.
