October 9, 2025 – OpenEden has officially launched the USDO RWA Bridge, a first-of-its-kind collaboration with Plume Network and Chainlink to advance compliant tokenized assets. The initiative introduces USDO—the world’s first tokenized U.S. Treasury product backed by BlackRock’s BUIDL fund—onto Plume’s blockchain, powered by Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP).
Key Takeaways
- OpenEden, Plume Network, and Chainlink introduce the USDO RWA Bridge for compliant tokenized Treasuries.
- The partnership uses Chainlink’s CCIP and Proof of Reserve for secure cross-chain transfers.
- The bridge enables institutional-grade real-world assets (RWAs) on Plume’s modular blockchain.
- Expected to drive liquidity and boost RWA adoption across DeFi ecosystems.
From Tokenized Treasuries to Cross-Chain Compliance
Founded in 2023, OpenEden pioneered the tokenization of U.S. Treasuries amid growing demand for regulated DeFi assets. Its flagship USDO token brought institutional-grade transparency through Chainlink’s oracles and CCIP.
The USDO RWA Bridge extends this legacy to Plume’s RWA-optimized blockchain, launched in 2024 with $10 million in early funding and over 180 integrations. Chainlink’s interoperability stack, used by major banks for settlement pilots, underpins the security and reliability of the bridge.
Institutionalizing RWAs Through the USDO RWA Bridge
This partnership could redefine institutional DeFi by merging compliance-first infrastructure with scalable cross-chain access. Analysts expect the USDO RWA Bridge to boost liquidity by $100 million in the near term and open programmable treasury use cases across lending, collateralization, and DeFi yield strategies.
As global frameworks like MiCA evolve, compliant bridges like this may unlock trillions in tokenized assets by 2030. While risks such as oracle dependencies and jurisdictional challenges persist, the collaboration strengthens confidence in regulated RWA adoption.
Pioneering Compliant DeFi Infrastructure
The USDO RWA Bridge, launched by OpenEden on October 9, 2025, with Plume Network and Chainlink, leverages BlackRock’s BUIDL-backed USDO token to pioneer compliant tokenized U.S. Treasuries. By integrating Chainlink’s CCIP and Plume’s RWA-optimized blockchain, it sets a new standard for secure, scalable DeFi infrastructure, driving institutional adoption of real-world assets.
