WisdomTree brings private credit to Ethereum and Stellar with CRDT launch
Global financial firm WisdomTree has announced the launch of a private credit fund on the blockchain, with a $25 minimum investment.
- WisdomTree is launching a Private Credit and Alternative Income Digital Fund
- Retail and institutional investors will be able to invest with as little as $25
- The fund will debut on the Ethereum and Stellar blockchains
Global financial institutions are increasingly leveraging public blockchains. On Friday, September 12, investment manager WisdomTree launched the WisdomTree Private Credit and Alternative Income Digital Fund. The fund will track the Gapstow Liquid Alternative Credit Index.
“Private credit has become one of the most talked-about opportunities in today’s market. For four years, we’ve been proud to make this space more accessible to the individual investor through our ETF, and now CRDT is able to deliver yield potential in a modern, tokenized fund,” said Jeremy Schwartz, Global Chief Investment Officer at WisdomTree.
At launch, the WisdomTree CRDT fund will be available on the Ethereum (ETH) and Stellar (XLM) blockchains. The fund will enable both retail and institutional investors to gain exposure to the private credit market with a minimum investment of $25. Investors will be able to access the fund through the WisdomTree Prime app and Connect platform.
“CRDT unlocks access to one of the most coveted asset classes – alternatives – directly onchain. By expanding the breadth of our tokenized funds, we’re giving crypto native investors the chance to diversify via exposures that were once reserved for institutions, all within the digital ecosystem,” said Will Peck, Head of Digital Assets at WisdomTree.
WisdomTree offers compliant RWAs
WisdomTree’s latest move enables investors to gain exposure to real-world assets based on real financial instruments. The asset manager stresses that its offering provides a high degree of compliance with financial regulations, in line with traditional financial products.
