Strategic expansion enables both institutional and retail users to mint, trade, and hold WisdomTree’s full suite of tokenized funds on Solana, supporting the growth of onchain offerings

NEW YORK: WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT), a global financial innovator, today announced an expansion to Solana as an available blockchain, enabling both retail and institutional investors to access WisdomTree’s tokenized* funds through the WisdomTree Connect™ and WisdomTree Prime® platforms. The integration extends WisdomTree’s full suite of regulated tokenized funds to Solana as part of the firm’s multi-chain deployment strategy.

“Bringing our full suite of tokenized funds to Solana reflects our continued focus on, regulated real world assets across the onchain ecosystem,” said Maredith Hannon, Head of Business Development, Digital Assets at WisdomTree. “Solana’s infrastructure, which focuses on high transaction speeds, allows us to meet growing crypto-native demand while maintaining the regulatory standards institutions expect, giving both institutional and retail investors more seamless, onchain access to tokenized funds.”

Both WisdomTree Connect and WisdomTree Prime users can now access WisdomTree’s full suite of tokenized funds natively on Solana, including money market, equities, fixed income, alternatives, asset allocation funds and via WisdomTree’s stablecoin conversion service, USDC and PYUSD.

Key capabilities for WisdomTree Connect include:

• Native Minting: All existing WisdomTree tokenized funds can now be minted directly on Solana.
• Full Ecosystem Support: Solana is now a supported blockchain within the WisdomTree Connect B2B/B2B2C tokenization platform, including WisdomTree’s stablecoin conversion service for subscriptions and redemptions.
• Onchain Utility: Institutional clients can purchase, hold and manage tokenized fund positions directly on Solana. This includes the technical capability to interact with Solana-native applications and protocols, subject to applicable institutional risk controls.

Key capabilities for WisdomTree Prime users include:

• Direct On-Ramp: On-ramp USDC directly from Solana into the WisdomTree Prime app, with the ability to access regulated, yield-generating WisdomTree tokenized funds while remaining entirely onchain and removing friction of exiting to traditional banking rails.
• Seamless Investing: Purchase regulated WisdomTree tokenized funds using USD sourced via USDC directly from Solana via WisdomTree’s stablecoin conversion service.
• Self-Custody & Portability: Off-ramp WisdomTree tokenized fund holdings to self-custody wallets on Solana with the potential ability to interact with Solana-native applications and protocols.

“WisdomTree has been an entrepreneurial leader in bringing regulated financial products onchain,” said Nick Ducoff, Head of Institutional Growth, Solana Foundation. “As real world assets on Solana surpass $1B, WisdomTree’s decision to expand their full suite of tokenized funds to Solana reflects the demand for expanded access to tokenized RWAs and Solana’s ability to support that demand at scale. This launch also highlights the growing role regulated asset managers play in shaping the future of onchain finance.”

*Tokenization: The process of creating a digital representation of an asset (in this case, mutual fund shares) using a token recorded on a blockchain. The token generally serves as a record of ownership to the asset. Tokenization of an asset does not change the nature of asset.
