WisdomTree, Inc., a global financial innovator, introduced WisdomTree Onchain, bringing its tokenized funds, onchain infrastructure, and platforms for individual and institutional investors under one name.

Assets across WisdomTree’s tokenized fund ecosystem have surpassed $1.2 billion, up from approximately $770 million at the start of 2026. WisdomTree offers the largest lineup of tokenized registered funds currently in the market: 15 SEC-registered funds spanning money market, equity, fixed income, asset allocation, and alternative strategies, available across eight public blockchains. The ecosystem also includes 24/7 secondary market liquidity for the WisdomTree Treasury Money Market Digital Fund (WTGXX) through WisdomTree Securities, Inc., acting as a principal dealer, subject to available inventory and market conditions.

“Eight years ago, we asked how we could disrupt asset management, similar to how ETFs disrupted mutual funds. Tokenization was the answer, and we built toward it fund by fund, use case by use case,” said Jonathan Steinberg, Founder and CEO of WisdomTree. “WisdomTree Onchain is the product of what that work has become: a cohesive ecosystem for moving real-world assets onto public blockchains. We believe everything in financial services will eventually be onchain, and WisdomTree Onchain reflects how much of that future we’ve already built.”

Alongside its tokenized funds, WisdomTree Onchain encompasses four core platforms:

  • WisdomTree Prime® — a mobile app giving U.S. individual investors access to tokenized funds, yield, and gold alongside stablecoin connectivity, in a single onchain environment.
  • WisdomTree Connect™ — a portal and API giving institutional clients and B2B2C distributors access to WisdomTree’s tokenized fund lineup, with one onboarding across the full suite.
  • Onchain Transfer Agent — the infrastructure WisdomTree Transfers, Inc. uses to issue and service tokenized fund shares under an issuer-sponsored tokenization model.
  • Onchain Markets — an in-development platform, building on the secondary market liquidity that WisdomTree Securities, Inc. already provides as a principal dealer for WTGXX. The goal is to extend that same model to additional tokenized fund types, including ETFs.

WisdomTree Onchain now supports use cases across institutional and retail markets. Stablecoin issuers can hold reserves in WTGXX, a Rule 2a-7 fund designed to meet the reserve asset requirements of the GENIUS Act with 24/7, commission-free secondary market liquidity to USDC through WisdomTree Securities, Inc., acting as a principal dealer, subject to available inventory and market conditions. Treasury teams can use the same fund for operating cash, earning income that is continuously allocated based on intra-day holding duration, and settling near-instantly onchain, weekends included. Onchain asset allocators can build diversified portfolios across equities, fixed income, alternatives, and cash entirely onchain through one onboarding. Qualified custodians, fintechs, and wallet providers can integrate WisdomTree’s tokenized funds through the WisdomTree Connect API. Institutions are exploring how WTGXX can improve collateral mobility, moving between permissioned wallets around the clock rather than on banking-hours rails. Lastly, WisdomTree supports other registered fund issuers seeking to bring their own funds onchain through WisdomTree’s Onchain Transfer Agent and, once launched, Onchain Markets.

“Our evolution to WisdomTree Onchain signifies our commitment to investors in this space and the breadth of our platform. Just as crossing the billion-dollar milestone is an important marker of our progress, so is the engagement we’ve had with clients and collaborators as we work together to build this industry,” said Will Peck, Head of WisdomTree Onchain. “Access, transparency, and user experience matter to investors. Through this combination of infrastructure and registered funds, we believe we can better serve a wide range of investors – both individuals and institutions – across use cases and, potentially, on a global scale.”

WisdomTree’s digital funds are available across Ethereum Mainnet, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Optimism, Plume, Solana, and Stellar. The 24/7 secondary market liquidity available for WTGXX was made possible by the first exemptive relief of its kind granted by the SEC to a registered fund.

The WisdomTree ecosystem’s growth over the past year has been driven by product and regulatory milestones, expanded distribution, strategic investments and industry collaboration, including:

Product, Regulatory, and AUM Milestones

  • Launching 24/7, dealer-principal secondary market liquidity for WTGXX as the first structural innovation of its kind for a registered fund since the introduction of ETFs
  • Continuing to explore issuer-sponsored tokenization for ETFs, building on WisdomTree’s 20-year history as an ETF pioneer
  • Publishing developer documentation for the WisdomTree Connect API, giving institutions and platforms a direct path to onboarding, subscription, redemption, and reporting
  • Increasing tokenized AUM from approximately $770 million at the start of 2026 to more than $1.2 billion to date

Strategic Relationships, Distribution, and Leadership

  • Collaborating with MoonPay to bring WTGXX to eligible U.S. investors through MoonPay’s platform, which serves more than 35 million accounts globally
  • Expanding its work with Stable Sea to bring additional tokenized funds into onchain treasury management for businesses

  • Leading a $136 million Series C investment in Fnality International alongside other major financial institutions
