WisdomTree is expanding its tokenization efforts to Solana, adding blockchain to the list of networks supporting its real-world asset (RWA) products.
The New York-based asset manager, best known for its exchange-traded funds, said on Wednesday that both institutional and retail investors will be able to mint, trade and hold its full suite of tokenized funds on Solana through the WisdomTree Connect and WisdomTree Prime platforms.
The move is part of WisdomTree’s broader multi-chain strategy and comes as asset managers look to bring traditional financial products onto the chain to meet growing interest in tokenized money market funds, equities and fixed income products.
“Bringing our full suite of tokenized funds to Solana reflects our continued focus on real-world regulated assets across the on-chain ecosystem,” Maredith Hannon, head of digital asset business development at WisdomTree, said in a press release shared with CoinDesk.
With the integration, WisdomTree’s tokenized offerings will be available natively on Solana, allowing institutional and retail users to access funds directly on-chain and through the company’s stablecoin conversion services.
Institutional clients using WisdomTree Connect will be able to mint, hold, and manage tokenized fund positions directly in Solana, while retail users on WisdomTree Prime can add USDC, purchase tokenized funds without having to go through traditional banking avenues, and hold their investments in self-custody wallets.
Traditional asset managers have increasingly entered the tokenization space, betting that blockchain-based infrastructure can reduce settlement times, improve accessibility, and unlock new distribution channels for regulated financial products.
