Why Did WisdomTree Add Solana?
WisdomTree has expanded its tokenized funds onto the Solana network, extending its multi-chain deployment beyond Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, and Optimism. The move allows both institutional and retail users to mint, trade, and hold the firm’s entire range of tokenized products directly on Solana.
The asset manager said all of its tokenized funds are now available on the network, covering money market products, equities, fixed income, alternatives, and asset allocation strategies. These products are structured as regulated exchange-traded offerings distributed through blockchain infrastructure rather than traditional fund platforms.
“Bringing our full suite of tokenized funds to Solana reflects our continued focus on regulated real-world assets across the onchain ecosystem,” said Maredith Hannon, head of business development for digital assets at WisdomTree. She added that Solana’s infrastructure allows the firm to meet crypto-native demand while keeping institutional compliance standards intact.
Investor Takeaway
WisdomTree’s Solana rollout shows that tokenized funds are no longer tied to a single blockchain, raising competition among networks to attract regulated asset issuers.
How Tokenized Funds Are Being Distributed
The expansion gives users multiple access points. Investors can reach the funds through WisdomTree Connect and WisdomTree Prime, while also being able to on-ramp USDC directly from Solana into those applications. That structure reflects a broader trend toward letting investors subscribe to regulated products using stablecoins rather than traditional cash rails.
Distributed assets use blockchains as a distribution layer, allowing investors to hold fund exposure through their own wallets or custodians instead of relying solely on fund administrators and transfer agents. For asset managers, the model shortens settlement cycles and reduces reliance on legacy infrastructure.
WisdomTree has been among the most active traditional managers in this space, using tokenization as a way to extend existing products rather than creating crypto-only funds. The Solana deployment builds on that approach by widening the audience without changing the underlying fund structure.
Where Solana Stands in the RWA Landscape
Solana currently ranks as the fourth-largest network for distributed tokenized assets, with around $1.3 billion in onchain RWA value, according to data from RWA.xyz. That gives it a market share of roughly 5.6%, well behind Ethereum, which controls more than 60% of distributed asset value.
Despite that gap, Solana has been drawing attention from issuers looking for higher throughput and lower transaction costs. WisdomTree cited transaction speed as a key reason for selecting the network, suggesting that performance considerations are becoming more relevant as tokenized funds scale beyond pilot programs.
“WisdomTree’s decision to expand its full suite of tokenized funds to Solana reflects the demand for expanded access to tokenized RWAs and Solana’s ability to support that demand at scale,” said Nick Ducoff, head of institutional growth at the Solana Foundation.
Investor Takeaway
As more regulated funds move onchain, network performance and settlement efficiency may matter as much as developer ecosystems or decentralization narratives.
What This Means for Tokenized Asset Competition
WisdomTree’s expansion highlights how tokenized funds are turning blockchains into distribution venues rather than experimental layers. Instead of issuing isolated pilot products, asset managers are increasingly making their full ranges available across multiple networks.
That approach intensifies competition among blockchains for regulated issuers. Ethereum remains the dominant venue, but alternative networks are pressing their case by offering faster execution and lower operational friction. For issuers, the ability to reach users across chains reduces reliance on any single ecosystem.
