Chris Yin, CEO of Plume Network, joins seb3point0 to argue that the first wave of RWAs failed because it tried to bring blockchain to TradFi instead of bringing the real world to crypto. He discusses how Plume is building an L1 specifically for RWA composability, turning illiquid assets into yield-bearing DeFi. Finally, they tackle how to build a global market that maintains "ball control" for crypto natives as the institutions arrive.
