These include high-quality fixed-income products and institutional credit strategies. For Etherfi, the launch expands its yield offering beyond crypto-native strategies.<\/p>\n<p>The first allocation includes Blackrock\u2019s iShares AAA CLOA, Fidelity\u2019s Total Bond ETF (FBND), and a FalconX credit pool.

Instead of choosing between earning yield and maintaining <span>liquidity<\/span>, users can put <span>stablecoin<\/span> capital to work while still accessing borrowing or spending capacity through Etherfi Cash.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_820420\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-820420\"><a href=\"https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/etherfi-and-plume-launch-100m-rwa-vault-backed-by-blackrock-and-fidelity1_nwmk.png?X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&#038;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&#038;X-Amz-Credential=AKIARQKIT2TMGZBKV2L6%2F20260605%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&#038;X-Amz-Date=20260605T104307Z&#038;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&#038;X-Amz-Expires=600&#038;X-Amz-Signature=843408dbbb15722c5e9fe4125551871e585ce3ac309cfcee3866336ac77a6faf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/etherfi-and-plume-launch-100m-rwa-vault-backed-by-blackrock-and-fidelity1_nwmk.png\" alt=\"Etherfi and Plume Launch $100M RWA Vault Backed by Blackrock and Fidelity_nwmk\" width=\"1280\" height=\"302\"  ><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-820420\">Source: Chris Yin (Co-founder\/CEO Plume)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The launch comes as tokenized real-world assets continue to gain traction across <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">crypto<\/a> markets.
