An asset management company has announced a significant expansion in asset tokenization by enhancing its institutional investment platform, now named WisdomTree Connect, which will feature 13 tokenized funds spanning five blockchain networks.
Originally limited to Ethereum, the platform has broadened its support to include Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, and Optimism. Investors can engage with the funds using U.S. dollars or Circle’s USDC stablecoin, with the ability to store their holdings in both third-party and self-custody wallets.
With these developments, WisdomTree Connect now boasts the title of having “the most comprehensive range of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) for institutional investors,” according to a company spokesperson.
This diverse suite comprises a tokenized money market fund, equity index funds, fixed income funds, and asset allocation strategies. The money market fund, known as WisdomTree Government Money Market Digital Fund, provides access to short-term government securities. Equity index funds, including the WisdomTree 500 Digital Fund and the WisdomTree Technology & Innovation 100 Digital Fund, track prominent stock market indices. The fixed income offerings are linked to various Treasury durations and inflation-protected securities.
These products are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Asset tokenization is increasingly gaining popularity among asset managers as they seek to migrate traditional financial instruments onto blockchain technology for operational efficiencies. This burgeoning sector has the potential to evolve into a trillion-dollar market as a wide array of real-world assets—including real estate, bonds, and credit—transition to on-chain environments.
