WisdomTree is pursuing a model that would allow its US-regulated tokenized funds to reach investors around the world without creating offshore versions, according to Will Peck, head of WisdomTree Onchain. The push comes as the firm’s tokenized fund business has grown substantially.
Tokenized assets climb past $1.2 billion
WisdomTree’s tokenized fund assets passed $1.2 billion by late September 2026, up from approximately $770 million at the start of the year. Earlier figures put those assets at around $30 million. For scale, the firm’s total assets under management were approximately $169 billion as of October 2026.
The firm now offers 15 SEC-registered tokenized products across various strategies. The flagship is the WisdomTree Treasury Money Market Digital Fund, which trades under the ticker WTGXX. The fund is a Treasury money market fund that operates on a blockchain: investors hold a token instead of a traditional fund share, but the fund remains inside an SEC-registered structure. WisdomTree argues this structure carries stronger investor protections than offshore alternatives.
Distribution through Prime and Connect
WisdomTree runs its onchain business through two main channels: WisdomTree Prime for retail investors and WisdomTree Connect for institutional clients. On October 27, 2026, the firm went live with an integration with BitGo, the digital asset custodian. The integration lets eligible institutional clients mint and burn WTGXX directly within BitGo’s regulated environment, without completing a separate onboarding process with WisdomTree.
Blockchain reach has also expanded. WisdomTree began its push onto Solana in January 2026, adding another network where its products can live. The product shelf continues to grow as well: the Equity Premium Income Digital Fund launched in December 2025, showing the firm is moving beyond plain Treasury exposure into more complex strategies. WisdomTree has also worked with platforms like MoonPay to broaden access to its onchain products, with the stated aim of maintaining strict regulatory compliance.
Peck: tokenization is more than a costume change
Peck has argued that taking an existing product and putting it on a blockchain for the press release misses the point. His emphasis has been on what tokenization can actually do differently. He has highlighted improved liquidity and instant settlement, both made possible in part by SEC exemptive relief—regulatory permission to operate outside certain standard rules, allowing these funds to work in ways a traditional fund structure normally would not. The research behind WisdomTree’s strategy also points to the potential for 24/7 trading, since blockchains do not keep traditional market hours.
The offshore question
The global access angle is where WisdomTree’s approach gets interesting. Its model is designed so that US-regulated tokenized products can reach international investors in their original form. Skipping offshore versions means one product, one regulatory framework, and one set of protections, regardless of where the buyer sits. WisdomTree is betting that the SEC-registered wrapper is a feature global investors will want, not a hurdle to route around.
What this means
For international investors, the potential payoff is lower barriers to credible, US-compliant financial products. If WisdomTree’s model works, a buyer outside the US could hold the same Treasury fund token as an American institution, with the same structure behind it.
For crypto infrastructure players, the BitGo integration offers a template. Custodians that can plug regulated funds directly into their platforms could become important distribution hubs, turning tokenized money market funds into a native part of institutional crypto workflows.
The tokenized business remains a small fraction of WisdomTree’s approximately $169 billion in total AUM. Whether global investors embrace US-regulated products directly, at scale, is still a matter of execution.
