WisdomTree Expands Tokenized Fund Platform to Major Altcoin Networks
03.04.2025 21:11
Asset management giant WisdomTree is expanding its institutional investment platform, WisdomTree Connect, to support 13 new tokenized funds spanning five blockchain networks. In addition to Ethereum, the platform now supports Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, and Optimism. This move allows investors to transact using US dollars or Circle’s USDC stablecoin while accessing assets via third-party or self-custodial wallets. The suite of products includes tokenized money market funds, equity index funds, fixed income funds, and asset allocation funds, highlighted by offerings such as the WisdomTree Government Money Market Digital Fund (WTGXX), WisdomTree 500 Digital Fund (SPXUX), and WisdomTree Technology & Innovation 100 Digital Fund (TECHX). With this multi-chain support, WisdomTree aims to provide a comprehensive range of tokenized real-world assets to institutional clients, deepening its foothold in the asset tokenization sector and potentially enhancing market liquidity and adoption in each network.
The inclusion of Ethereum in the expanded platform reinforces its position as a foundational blockchain, likely driving immediate positive sentiment with a potential short-term boost (estimated 2-4% upward movement). Long-term institutional adoption driven by diversified fund access could further strengthen ETH’s valuation, backed by historical trends of increased usage following integration in tokenized asset platforms.
Arbitrum’s addition is expected to draw professional investors, supporting a moderate short-term price increase due to increased liquidity and utility. Historical similar events suggest that such institutional backing can lead to a sustained upward trend in the medium to long term as network confidence and transaction volumes grow.
Avalanche stands to benefit from the news as institutional inclusion can enhance network exposure. In the short term, increased trading volumes may push AVAX’s price upward by a modest margin. Over the long term, as more funds incorporate Avalanche, the network’s growing credibility and adoption might translate into continued price strength.
As one of the newly supported networks, BASE may experience heightened volatility in the near term. While increased institutional interest could lead to an immediate price surge, the lack of extensive historical data means that longer-term gains will hinge on broader network adoption and sustained liquidity improvements.
Optimism is likely to see a positive impact from the inclusion in WisdomTree Connect. The news may trigger immediate short-term momentum due to institutional sentiment, with historical analogues suggesting a potential mid-range price boost. Long-term effects look promising as further integration into tokenized fund offerings enhances the network’s use case and market confidence.
