Asks whether RWAs are another rug or actually different and answers with concrete metrics and a product roadmap: notes BlackRock’s $650M tokenized money market, 52 holders and near-zero monthly usage, contrasts that with Hyperliquid’s $20B in two months and Sonic’s $900M TVL since January, argues tokenization must be built for crypto natives, and describes a full‑stack approach — Plume Arc, Plume Nexus and a dedicated chain — claiming a testnet delivered 300k transactions, 100k new wallets and connected projects to $10M of LPs.
