WisdomTree Brings Tokenized Funds to Solana, Opening Retail & Institutional On‑chain Access

Headline: WisdomTree brings its full suite of tokenized funds to Solana as part of a multichain push WisdomTree, the New York–based asset manager best known for its exchange-traded funds, is expanding its tokenization program to Solana, opening native onchain access to its real‑world asset (RWA) products. Under the rollout announced Wednesday, both institutional and retail investors will be able to mint, trade and hold WisdomTree’s full lineup of tokenized funds on Solana through the firm’s two distribution channels: WisdomTree Connect for institutional clients and WisdomTree Prime for retail users. What this enables - Institutional customers using WisdomTree Connect can mint, hold and manage tokenized fund positions directly on Solana. - Retail users on WisdomTree Prime can fund purchases with USDC, buy tokenized funds without exiting to traditional banking rails, and keep their holdings in self‑custody wallets. - WisdomTree’s stablecoin conversion services are integrated, allowing onchain access and settlement native to Solana. Why Solana — and why now The move is part of WisdomTree’s broader multichain strategy to bring regulated RWAs across the onchain ecosystem. In a press release shared with CoinDesk, Maredith Hannon, head of business development for digital assets at WisdomTree, said the addition “reflects our continued focus on regulated real‑world assets across the onchain ecosystem.” Solana’s high throughput and low transaction costs make it a natural choice for firms pushing tokenized money market funds, equities and fixed‑income products onchain. Broader context Traditional asset managers have been steadily experimenting with tokenization, betting that blockchain infrastructure can cut settlement times, broaden accessibility, and unlock new distribution channels for regulated financial instruments. WisdomTree’s Solana launch underscores that trend and represents another step toward multichain availability for institutional-grade tokenized products. Read more AI-generated news on: undefined/news
