WisdomTree, a major global asset manager with around $150 billion+ in assets under management has expanded its tokenized fund offerings to the Solana blockchain.
This move, allows both institutional and retail investors to mint, trade, hold, and manage the company’s full suite of regulated tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) directly on Solana. Tokenized funds now natively supported on Solana include regulated money market funds, equities, fixed-income, alternatives, and asset allocation products.
This is part of WisdomTree’s multichain strategy, previously available on networks like Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Optimism, and Stellar. Clients can purchase, hold, and manage positions onchain, with stablecoin conversion (e.g., USDC) for subscriptions/redemptions.

Users can on-ramp USDC directly from Solana, buy tokenized funds without traditional banking rails, and hold in self-custody wallets. Benefits highlighted include faster settlements, lower costs, thanks to Solana’s high throughput, direct onchain utility, and potential integration with Solana-native apps/protocols (subject to risk controls). This expansion aligns with growing institutional interest in tokenized RWAs, where traditional financial products are brought onchain for efficiency and accessibility.
Solana’s performance advantages (speed, low fees) make it appealing for these use cases, and the news has been celebrated in the crypto community as a win for the network—especially as tokenized assets on Solana reportedly surpass $1B in some categories.
For example, quotes from sources note this as a “significant milestone” for Solana supporting regulated financial activity at scale. A major asset manager with over $150 billion in AUM deploying regulated products (money market, equities, fixed-income, alternatives, and asset allocation funds) on Solana signals strong confidence in its infrastructure.
This is especially notable as one of WisdomTree’s largest non-EVM like Arbitrum/Base/Optimism and Stellar. Solana’s high throughput, low fees, and fast settlements often sub-second finality make it ideal for frequent minting/redemptions and onchain interactions. This could drive more institutional RWA activity, as faster/cheaper transactions reduce operational costs and counterparty risk compared to slower chains.
Solana already holds a substantial portion of tokenized stocks/equities (reports suggest around 38-39% in some categories), and this move accelerates its role as a preferred settlement layer for RWAs. Combined with prior growth, it positions the network as a go-to for compliant, high-volume financial products.
Community reactions on X highlight excitement, viewing it as validation of Solana’s “structural dominance” (user base, developer activity, on-chain revenue). This could contribute to positive sentiment and inflows, especially amid broader RWA trends.
This aligns with WisdomTree’s push to meet investors “where they are,” reducing reliance on any single blockchain and enhancing resilience/accessibility. It builds on existing platforms like WisdomTree Connect (institutional/B2B) and WisdomTree Prime (retail app with self-custody and USDC on-ramps).
Regulated funds now offer direct onchain utility enabling faster settlements without traditional rails. Retail users can buy/hold yield-generating assets entirely onchain, while institutions manage positions natively. As more asset managers enter RWAs, WisdomTree strengthens its position by offering a broad, compliant suite across chains. This could attract more capital to its tokenized products, which have seen steady AUM growth in prior expansions.
Tokenization bridges real-world yields (e.g., Treasuries in money market funds) with blockchain efficiency, potentially unlocking trillions in value. This move contributes to the narrative of TradFi “on-chaining” cashflow-generating assets, reducing friction and enabling 24/7 access/composability.
Easier entry via WisdomTree Prime (USDC on-ramp, self-custody, no banking exits for purchases). Institutional — Lower costs, real-time transparency, and integration potential.
While Solana’s uptime has improved dramatically, any network congestion or reliability concerns could affect perception. Regulatory hurdles remain for widespread adoption, and tokenized products carry standard investment risks (e.g., market volatility, no FDIC-like insurance on yields).
More regulated activity could spur developer innovation on Solana, increase TVL, and draw further institutional partnerships. This is a milestone in blending regulated finance with high-performance blockchain tech. It reinforces Solana’s shift from retail/DeFi dominance toward institutional-grade capital markets infrastructure.
