September 23, 2025: Swarm, the real-world assets (RWA) protocol, today announced that it will launch nine tokenized equities on Plasma, the newly-launched blockchain purpose-built for stablecoins. From day one of Plasma’s mainnet beta on September 25 2025, users will be able to trade leading tokenized stocks such as Apple (AAPL) and MicroStrategy (MSTR) against stablecoins.
Plasma, a layer 1 blockchain backed by Tether, Bitfinex, and Framework Ventures, is designed to deliver zero-fee stablecoin transfers, high throughput, and EVM compatibility, with over $2 billion in liquidity committed at launch. By integrating Swarm’s compliant RWA infrastructure, Plasma users will gain direct access to real-world equities from within the ecosystem on day one.
Timo Lehes, Co-Founder of Swarm said, “Launching tokenized stocks at the mainnet debut of Plasma demonstrates what’s possible when compliant, institutional-grade infrastructure meets next-generation blockchain rails. Stablecoins are the bridge between digital and traditional finance. Pairing them with tokenized equities like Apple or MicroStrategy stock on Plasma means users can move easily between cash-like assets and regulated securities without leaving the chain.”
Swarm’s tokenized equities are issued under the EU Prospectus Regulation, providing investors with full insolvency protection and regulatory compliance. This ensures that token holders retain enforceable legal rights to the underlying securities, setting a new benchmark for transparency and investor protection in digital markets.
Philipp Pieper, Co-Founder of Swarm, added: “Plasma is designed to make stablecoin usage frictionless at global scale. What’s remarkable is that we have never seen a network go live with so many integrations and so much liquidity at pre-launch. That’s exactly why we wanted Swarm’s tokenized assets to be among the very first available on Plasma. This level of liquidity, access and trust will bring tokenization into the mainstream.”
By enabling stablecoin users to trade into tokenized RWAs from the first block of Plasma’s mainnet, Swarm and Plasma together are accelerating the vision of financial markets where traditional assets and digital value converge.
