WisdomTree is broadening its tokenization initiatives by incorporating Solana into the list of blockchains that support its real-world asset (RWA) offerings.
The New York-based investment firm, renowned for its exchange-traded funds, announced on Wednesday that both institutional and retail investors will now have the ability to mint, trade, and hold their complete range of tokenized funds on Solana via the WisdomTree Connect and WisdomTree Prime platforms.
This expansion aligns with WisdomTree’s comprehensive multichain approach as asset managers increasingly aim to bring traditional financial instruments onto blockchain networks in response to rising demand for tokenized money market funds, equities, and fixed-income products.
Maredith Hannon, head of business development for digital assets at WisdomTree, stated in a press release shared with CoinDesk that “offering our entire suite of tokenized funds on Solana underscores our ongoing commitment to regulated real-world assets within the blockchain ecosystem.”
Through this integration, WisdomTree’s tokenized products will be accessible natively on Solana. This enables both institutional and retail clients to engage directly with these funds onchain while utilizing the company’s stablecoin conversion services.
Institutional investors using WisdomTree Connect can mint tokens, manage holdings, and oversee fund positions directly through Solana. Meanwhile, retail users leveraging WisdomTree Prime are able to add USDC seamlessly—buying tokenized funds without needing to revert back to conventional banking systems—and maintain their investments within self-custodied wallets.
The entry of traditional asset managers into blockchain-based tokenization reflects a growing belief that distributed ledger technology can streamline settlement processes faster than legacy systems improve accessibility for investors worldwide and open new pathways for distributing regulated financial products.
