Plume affiliate Kimber Digital Securities has secured approval to become a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and is now registered as a broker-dealer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The approvals establish a regulated route for bringing tokenized securities into traditional U.S. financial markets, potentially expanding investor access to tokenized stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and bonds through digital wallets.
Plume announced the decision on November 10 via X. According to the company, the framework enables assets to be issued with direct property rights backed and registered through the Depository Trust Company (DTC), rather than as synthetic derivatives or wrapped instruments. Investors would retain fundamental corporate rights such as dividends and voting, while assets can move between traditional brokerages and on-chain wallets.
The initiative also includes yield instruments for stablecoin users. Kimber is now working toward obtaining an Alternative Trading System (ATS) license, which would support continuous trading of traditional securities on public networks.
