Solana is gaining another foothold in the fast-growing market for tokenized real-world assets, as WisdomTree expands its suite of regulated on-chain funds to the high-speed blockchain.
WisdomTree, a New York Stock Exchange–listed asset manager, announced on Jan. 28 that it has integrated Solana as a supported blockchain network for its tokenized investment products, giving both institutional and retail investors native access to its funds through the WisdomTree Connect™ and WisdomTree Prime® platforms.
The expansion makes WisdomTree’s full lineup of tokenized funds—spanning money markets, equities, fixed income, alternatives, and asset allocation strategies—accessible to WisdomTree Connect and WisdomTree Prime users on the Solana network. Users can also use WisdomTree’s stablecoin conversion service, $USDC and PYUSD.
For Solana, the integration underscores the network’s growing role as a venue for real-world asset tokenization, an area that has drawn increasing interest from asset managers seeking faster settlement, lower costs and programmable financial rails.

What WisdomTree-Solana integration means
Here is what the collaboration means for WisdomTree Connect.
All existing WisdomTree tokenized funds can be minted directly on Solana. The blockchain is supported within the WisdomTree Connect B2B/B2B2C tokenization platform, including WisdomTree’s stablecoin conversion service. In addition, institutional clients can purchase, hold, and manage tokenized fund positions directly on Solana.
As far as WisdomTree Prime users are concerned, they can access regulated, yield-generating WisdomTree tokenized funds while remaining entirely onchain as per the direct on-ramp service.
Users can buy WisdomTree tokenized funds using USD sourced via $USDC directly from Solana via WisdomTree’s stablecoin conversion service. WisdomTree Prime users can also off-ramp WisdomTree tokenized fund holdings to self-custody wallets on Solana and even interact with Solana-native apps and protocols.
Solana Foundation's head of institutional growth, Nick Ducoff, said, “As real world assets on Solana surpass $1B, WisdomTree’s decision to expand their 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."
He added, "This launch also highlights the growing role regulated asset managers play in shaping the future of onchain finance.”
WisdomTree's head of business development, digital assets, Maredith Hannon, said,
“Solana’s infrastructure, which focuses on high transaction speeds, allows us to meet growing crypto-native demand while maintaining the regulatory standards institutions expect, giving both institutional and retail investors more seamless, on-chain access to tokenized funds.”
As tokenization continues to move from pilot programs to real-time use, Solana’s growing roster of partners suggests the network is positioning itself as a core layer for regulated assets in the digital economy.
