WisdomTree Digital Funds are a big step forward in the next evolution of investing,
and the exciting future of finance.
Digital Funds, which are tokenized ‘40 Act funds, offer a way for investors to track traditional investment assets where the investor’s ownership of digital fund shares is maintained on blockchain as part of an integrated recordkeeping system by the Digital Fund’s transfer agent. Digital funds provide access to a broad range of exposures, from equities to fixed income, and while they have a blockchain component, they do not invest in cryptocurrencies.
WisdomTree’s Digital Funds are open-end mutual funds registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act, which means they are governed by the same high standard of rules and regulations, and required financial disclosures, as other U.S. SEC-registered investment products. The assets of the Digital Funds are held in a segregated custody account, and the Digital Funds are overseen by a Board comprised of a majority of independent trustees. For our suite of U.S. Treasury Digital Funds, the underlying assets are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. This means they do not have the same level of counterparty risk as other fixed income assets; however, they may have other risks, which are disclosed.
Over the past 20+ years at WisdomTree, we’ve developed ETFs and ETPs that improve the investing experience, and we see the utilization of blockchain technology as the next game-changer in asset management. As blockchain-enabled finance blooms, we see digital funds as setting the groundwork for a leap forward, with the potential in the future to improve liquidity, standardization, and transparency for retail investors.
