WisdomTree is revolutionizing the world of finance with its innovative approach to self-custody of regulated real-world assets (RWAs). The leading asset manager has introduced a groundbreaking platform called WisdomTree Connect, which aims to give users the ability to access tokenized investment funds easily from any type of wallet or blockchain network.
The platform allows users to custody their tokenized investment funds with trusted third-party custodians while maintaining a secure “digital record” of ownership in their personal wallets. This unique approach creates a seamless experience for users while ensuring the highest level of security and compliance.
With more than a dozen tokenized funds in its arsenal, WisdomTree is on a mission to democratize access to RWAs for retail users and other customer-facing platforms and apps. By expanding access to self-hosted wallets, WisdomTree Connect is set to revolutionize the way users interact with tokenized assets.
RWAs, which encompass tokenized claims on a variety of assets such as financial instruments, commodities, and art, already boast over $12 billion in total value locked (TVL). This presents a massive $30 trillion market opportunity globally, according to industry experts.
Despite regulatory challenges, WisdomTree is committed to paving the way for the integration of traditional and decentralized finance. By working closely with regulators like the SEC, WisdomTree aims to set a new standard for the custody of tokenized investment funds.
Through WisdomTree Connect, users can expect enhanced security, accessibility, and convenience when managing their tokenized assets. The platform’s innovative approach caters to the evolving needs of the finance industry while opening up new possibilities for users worldwide.
Join WisdomTree on its mission to unlock the full potential of regulated RWAs and embrace the future of finance with self-custody and tokenization.
