> FORTUNA SIGNAL · FORA-01 evidence dossier · Researched 2026-09-15 · https://ron-delhaye-studios.github.io/fortuna-signal-live/tokens/plu.html

## Definition
Pluton (PLU) is the rewards token of Plutus, a UK/EU fintech whose 2015 whitepaper by founder Danial Daychopan introduced the concept of tokenised loyalty rewards — and is the first recorded document to coin the term 'DEX' for its non-custodial crypto-to-fiat exchange, PlutusDEX. Cardholders earned PLU as cashback on real-world spending via the Plutus Card.

## What the holder owns (FORA-01 Q1)
PLU (Pluton) is a loyalty rewards token issued by fintech Plutus: users earn 3–8% crypto rewards in PLU on purchases made with the Plutus Visa debit card, and staking PLU unlocks higher reward tiers plus in-app Perks (e.g. Netflix, Spotify, Prime). PLU carries a fiat value and can be swapped for fiat.

## Key risks & notes
Status: no_whitepaper_found — the 2015 whitepaper exists but could not be fetched during this session; summary grounded in Plutus's official announcements and MiCA filings. The rewards pool is now closed (no new PLU issuance for rewards), so value depends on the Plutus business and secondary markets; fintech regulatory risk applies.
