In this episode we sit down with Brian Huang, CEO of Glider, and Jack Ratkovich, Ecosystem Growth Lead at Plume, to break down a major new integration between the two platforms. Plume, a leading RWA blockchain, is bringing its Nest protocol and institutional-grade real-world asset yields straight into Glider’s automated portfolio platform. The goal is simple: make earning real-world yield a one-click, hands-off experience for everyday users.

We cover how Plume has already tokenized more than 4.5 billion dollars in institutional assets, why retail adoption has lagged, and how Glider’s automation layer removes the technical friction that usually blocks RWA participation. The conversation dives into what this means for mass adoption, why RWAs could be a major driver in the next cycle, and how automation and compliance are shaping the future of onchain investing.

Whether you're deep into DeFi or just starting to explore real-world assets, this episode breaks down how Plume and Glider are working together to make crypto investing simpler, smarter, and more accessible.

In this episode, we dive deep with Eric McHugh, the founder of Aces.fun, a next-gen RWA marketplace that blends trading, community incentives, and game theory into one unique ecosystem. Aces.fun introduces an inverse reward model — where the lower a token’s price, the higher each holder’s share of community rewards becomes — creating a new kind of meta-game economy that flips traditional market psychology on its head.

We discuss:

• How Aces.fun tokenizes RWAs for real yield and shared upside
• 
  
• The inverse reward model that gamifies market behavior
• 
  
• Building sustainable trading loops beyond speculation
• 
  

A fresh look at the future of social RWA trading — where the market itself becomes the game.
