Gate Ventures Podcast | Episode 13 Beyond the Dollar: Inside Plume's Institutional Open Finance Playbook 🌟Guest: Chris Yin, Co-founder & CEO of Plume @plumenetwork @chriseyin 🎤Host: Tiffany Chang, Gate Ventures @hella_tifficult Almost everything onchain today is denominated in USD. But if RWAs are going to carry real institutional volume, the rails have to work for the assets institutions actually hold — and for the currencies they actually hold them in. Our guest Chris Yin, Co-founder & CEO of Plume, joins us to unpack how Plume went from an RWA chain to the platform institutions issue and distribute through — and why the licenses, not the tech, decide who gets to build next. We'll cover: 🔹 What "Open Finance for institutional assets" really means — and why Plume shifted from RWA chain to issuance & distribution platform 🔹 Why an SEC transfer-agent registration and a DTCC working group seat are the licenses that decide who builds next-gen securities infrastructure 🔹 How the Shinhan MOU opens RWA's non-dollar chapter — and what it takes to bring Korean Won assets onchain 🔹 Why the hard part is matching supply with distribution — connecting institutional credit to crypto-native users 🔹 How Plume Vaults turns strategies once reserved for large allocators into products anyone can hold, borrow against, and trade 🗓️August 19, 2026, 11 AM – 12 PM UTC | 7 – 8 PM GMT+8 📍LIVE on Gate Ventures' X, Set your reminder 👇
