WisdomTree Brings Tokenized Funds to Solana in Wall Street Shift

Ben Graham · 5 horas atrás

Top asset managers like BlackRock are confident the future will be tokenized, not on private chains but on public ledgers like Solana and Ethereum. Already, billions worth of US treasuries and USD already “float” about in these chains.

As of late January 2026, over $312Bn worth of stablecoins had already been minted on multiple chains, mainly on Ethereum, Tron, and Solana. At the same time, parallel data shows that funds are racing to tokenized common trading instruments in the US, including ETFs.

With momentum picking up and tokenization inevitable, yesterday, WisdomTree said it would open its tokenized investment funds on Solana, expanding from other chains, including Ethereum and Stellar. In this way, they will give everyday and institutional investors a new way to access Wall Street products onchain.

In response to the news, the Solana price remained in a sideways chop, stuck below $125. Despite the lack of volatility, this news only reinforces Solana’s role as a serious financial rail, not just a trading network.

WisdomTree To Launch Tokenized Funds on Solana

The WisdomTree move is a big signal. They are not a startup but a $137Bn asset manager. By committing to tokenize on Solana, they are not experimenting for fun but are testing where future investing may happen.

Simply put, tokenization turns a traditional fund into a digital token that lives on a blockchain. Anyone who receives this “digital token” still owns a regulated fund, but it moves at crypto speed. This is because Solana allows for instant settlement in an environment that is also cheap to transact on, and can scale depending on the issuer’s needs.

As capital markets move onchain, the defining question is not whether assets are tokenized, but how.

The next phase of digital assets adoption is driven by utility, not speculation: regulated access, durable structures, and real financial use cases.

At WisdomTree, tokenization…

WisdomTree now lets users mint, trade, and hold these fund tokens directly on Solana through its Connect, for institutions, and Prime, for individuals app. As mentioned earlier, this means faster settlement and fewer middlemen compared to legacy brokerage systems. However, since these shares are regulated securities, users must verify their identity through WisdomTree’s platforms. At the same time, there is no FDIC insurance.

Investors can use USDC or PYUSD stablecoins to purchase fund shares. This bypasses the need to “off-ramp” back to traditional banks to move money between crypto and stocks. What’s more? Since they are on Solana, these tokenized shares can be managed anytime via a non-custodial wallet like Phantom. This advantage could explain why other firms are racing to bring tokenized assets on Solana instead of relying on slower blockchains.

Why Wall Street Is Moving Funds On-chain

Since traditional trades take days to settle while assets move in minutes in blockchains like Solana and Ethereum, institutions see it as a way to free up capital and reduce back-office friction. And there are solid numbers to back this up.

As of January 29, over $24Bn worth of assets have been locked up and distributed on public chains, up +14% in the last month alone. Behind this are big names like BlackRock and Franklin Templeton that are already running blockchain-based funds. The race is on, as seen in the fast-growing tokenized treasuries market.

WisdomTree is part of a massive wave of Wall Street firms moving from “experimentation” to “production” on public blockchains. Inevitably, this shift will, over the years, narrow the barrier between crypto and traditional finance. You no longer need to log in to a bank account to access regulated investment products. The decision to tokenize on Solana strengthens the chain’s reputation, letting people and investors know that it can also host “serious” products, not just meme coins.

However, this tech is not risk-free. Smart contracts can fail, and wallet mistakes are often permanent. Additionally, regulation is still evolving, even with recent SEC guidance on crypto ETP disclosures (official SEC statement). This is also not forgetting settlement risks when trades happen instantly, a concern raised in debates around tokenized asset settlement.
