Binance's Distribution Event Boosts a Specific Cryptocurrency by 18% in an Hour
After a highly anticipated listing, Plume Network (PLUME) made its debut on Binance on August 18, 2025. The token saw a significant intraday price surge of around 36%, reaching a peak just before trading began, followed by typical airdrop-related volatility and some price consolidation[1].
Currently, PLUME is trading around $0.093 with a daily volume of over $56 million[2]. The initial market cap valuation dropped from an all-time high of $2.3 billion to about $850 million, reflecting a correction post-airdrop[1].
Plume Network is a Layer-1 blockchain focused on real-world asset finance (RWAfi). Its architecture enables streamlined, compliant tokenization of RWAs onchain, such as real assets or commodities, with its Plume Arc infrastructure aimed at reducing legal and technical barriers for service providers[1][5]. This makes it a critical player in the growing RWAfi sector, considered by many analysts as a potential multi-trillion-dollar narrative[1][5].
Regarding price potential, there are two main scenarios highlighted by analysts. A short-term consolidation between $0.06 and $0.08 if broader crypto market conditions, like Bitcoin price, weaken; or a longer-term price recovery and potential rise towards $0.11 to $0.13 later in 2025 if RWA adoption accelerates and Bitcoin regains strength[1]. Kraken's more conservative forecast suggests modest yearly growth at about 5%, reaching roughly $0.10 by 2026 and around $0.13 by 2030[2].
The dominance of global RWA holders likely supports the token's fundamental value, given Plume’s role in bringing traditional assets onchain and expanding liquidity and use cases in the crypto ecosystem. However, the immediate price is influenced heavily by supply-demand dynamics post-airdrop and Binance listing, necessitating cautious speculation in the near term[3].
In addition to the Binance listing, Plume Network also conducted a large airdrop, distributing 150 million tokens to eligible users who held BNB between July 24 and July 27[4]. This move has renewed interest in the PLUME token and has helped position Plume Network as a leading Real World Asset (RWA) platform, hosting more than half of all RWA holders globally according to data from rwa.xyz[4].
Many are watching closely for a breakout as trading picks up across major platforms, with Fibonacci levels marking $0.143 as a potential target for PLUME if buyers push through resistance[1]. Analyst @ekviar predicted that PLUME is on its way to a new ATH at $0.4, but cautioned against giving false hopes[1].
In summary, Plume Network leverages strong fundamentals in the RWA sector, enjoys solid Binance backing with broad distribution through the airdrop, and is expected to consolidate short-term with potential for significant upside if the RWA market and overall crypto conditions improve throughout 2025.[1][3][5]
