Blockchain expansion for WisdomTree as tokenized assets under management surpass $130 million
In the ever-evolving world of finance, WisdomTree has established itself as a pioneer in the tokenized money market funds space. With digital assets under management (AUM) exceeding $525 million and significant net inflows of $173 million in July alone, WisdomTree's tokenized funds are among the largest and fastest growing in the industry [2].
This impressive growth propels WisdomTree to be one of the key players in a market that is experiencing explosive growth. The overall tokenized asset market is projected to increase from $0.6 trillion today to nearly $19 trillion by 2033, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 53% [1]. Tokenized treasuries and regulated funds, like WisdomTree’s tokenized money markets, are among the fastest-growing institutional categories on public blockchains.
The success of WisdomTree's tokenized funds is contributing to this industry growth by offering seamless on-chain settlement and instant tradeability, which aligns with the overall industry shift towards asset tokenization execution and interoperability between traditional finance and blockchain infrastructure [1][2]. This positioning not only makes WisdomTree a market leader but also a catalyst that helps validate and accelerate the tokenized money market fund industry.
WisdomTree's strategic acquisitions, such as the purchase of Ceres Partners, indicate robust expansion ambitions and reinforce their ability to scale both tokenized and traditional assets alike [2][5]. This strategic move diversifies and grows their assets under management, further emphasizing their commitment to integrating traditional and tokenized asset sectors for sustainable growth.
The use of tokenized money market funds is not only impacting the market but also opening up new opportunities for asset managers. The potential use of tokenized MMFs as collateral for margin positions could make asset managers more friendly towards blockchain, potentially expanding the client base for asset managers [1].
Calastone, a major fund distribution firm, has announced a service enabling any of its asset management clients to tokenize funds without changing the way the fund is managed. This service could further expand the client base for asset managers, making tokenized funds more accessible to a wider audience [1].
As of mid-2025, WisdomTree's tokenized funds are available on five blockchains: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, and Optimism, providing users with greater choice [1]. The growth in WisdomTree's AUM is attributed to its relationship with Ondo Finance, with Ondo Finance holding over $100 million of one of WisdomTree's money market funds as collateral for Ondo's tokenized money market fund OUSG [2].
The broader tokenized asset market is expanding rapidly, with publicly visible tokenized real-world assets now totaling over $26 billion in value, indicating growing institutional adoption and regulatory acceptance [1]. This supports the growth and impact of tokenized funds like those from WisdomTree.
In summary, WisdomTree's tokenized money market funds are leading the charge in a rapidly growing market, with strong inflows and significant AUM. The overall tokenized asset market is experiencing explosive growth, with tokenized funds and fixed income as critical growth sectors advancing institutional adoption and market capitalization. WisdomTree's success is fueling broader industry momentum by proving the viability of tokenized funds within regulated frameworks and improving liquidity and access. Their strategic acquisitions and growth in digital assets emphasize their commitment to integrating traditional and tokenized asset sectors for sustainable growth.
