This initiative, which is part of WisdomTree’s multi-chain approach, is intended to expand institutional access to regulated blockchain-based products while utilizing Plume’s built-in compliance mechanisms, according to . The newly launched funds, accessible via WisdomTree Connect, feature the Government Money Market Digital Fund and the CRDT Private Credit and Alternative Income Fund, allowing investors to directly hold, transfer, and settle assets on-chain. Galaxy Digital’s $10 million investment in the Government Money Market Digital Fund highlights the early interest from institutions.

Plume sets itself apart from general-purpose blockchains such as

or Polygon by integrating know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) protocols directly into its core infrastructure. These features, which include wallet screening and sanctions compliance, are designed to meet U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) standards, according to the Yahoo report. The platform, which recently achieved transfer agent registration with the SEC, reports having over 276,000 RWA holders and $600 million in tokenized assets, making it the largest RWA-focused blockchain by user count, CoinDesk noted.

Maredith Hannon, WisdomTree’s Head of Business Development for Digital Assets, pointed out the advantages of the collaboration: “Investors benefit from diversified tokenized fund strategies and more streamlined settlements, all while upholding compliance.”

This launch highlights the intensifying race among asset managers to bring regulated investment products onto blockchain networks. Other companies, including Franklin Templeton and BlackRock, are also investigating how blockchain can improve operational efficiency and liquidity, according to CoinDesk. Plume’s Luke Xiao commended WisdomTree’s efforts, saying it shows “regulated products can succeed in a compliant, permissionless setting,” as mentioned in the Yahoo report.

In addition, WisdomTree’s broader digital asset roadmap features a partnership with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY) to deliver banking-as-a-service (BaaS) infrastructure for its WisdomTree Prime platform. This alliance allows U.S. retail investors to access tokenized RWAs with stablecoin on- and off-ramps, further connecting traditional and digital finance, according to
