Previously limited to Ethereum, the platform now supports Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base and Optimism. Investors can interact with the funds through U.S. dollar or Circle's USDC stablecoins, with holdings accessible in third-party and self-custodial wallets.
With these additions, WisdomTree Connect now claims the bragging rights of offering "the most extensive suite of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) available to institutions," a spokesperson said.
The suite includes a tokenized money market fund, equity index funds, fixed income funds and asset allocation funds. The money market fund, WisdomTree Government Money Market Digital Fund (WTGXX), offers exposure to short-term government securities. Equity index funds such as WisdomTree 500 Digital Fund (SPXUX) and WisdomTree Technology & Innovation 100 Digital Fund (TECHX) track major stock market indices. The fixed income segment includes offerings tied to various Treasury durations and inflation-protected securities.
The offerings are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Asset tokenization is gaining traction among asset managers as they increasingly place traditional financial instruments on blockchain rails to pursue operational gains. It's a rapidly growing sector with the potential to become a trillion-dollar market as all kinds of real-world assets (RWAs) including real estate, bonds, credit move on-chain.

What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
