Global asset manager WisdomTree has launched a new digital fund, signaling a deeper integration of traditional market products with blockchain infrastructure. The move brings a classic options strategy onchain, highlighting a growing convergence between legacy finance and the digital asset space.

The new product, the WisdomTree Equity Premium Income Digital Fund, is available under the token ticker EPXC and the fund ticker WTPIX. It’s designed to track the performance of the Volos US Large Cap Target 2.5% PutWrite Index, which models a systematic “put-writing” strategy.

A Traditional Options Strategy on the Blockchain

At its core, the fund generates income by selling cash-secured put options. Instead of writing options directly on the S&P 500, the strategy uses contracts tied to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY). By selling these options, the fund collects premiums, creating a predictable income stream for investors. This approach can also provide a modest buffer in flat or mildly declining markets, making it an appealing strategy for those concerned about volatility.

Because the fund is tokenized, it offers benefits beyond the strategy itself. It’s accessible to both institutional and retail investors, including crypto-native users who can take advantage of the blockchain’s faster settlement times and more flexible transferability compared to traditional fund structures.

Will Peck, WisdomTree’s head of digital assets, stated that the launch aims to give investors greater choice in executing their strategies onchain, marking another step in the firm’s broader push into tokenized assets.

WisdomTree’s Expanding Digital Asset Lineup

WisdomTree has established itself as an early leader in asset tokenization, operating 15 tokenized funds across blockchains like Ethereum, Avalanche, and Base. The firm’s most active tokenized product is its Government Money Market Digital Fund, which holds over $730 million in assets invested in short-term U.S. government securities.

The company also launched a tokenized private credit fund in September, offering investors blockchain-based access to privately originated credit. That fund has seen rapid inflows since its debut.

The Broader Trend of Asset Tokenization

While WisdomTree was an early mover, the broader financial industry is now beginning to follow suit. Major institutions like Goldman Sachs and BNY Mellon have recently rolled out their own tokenized money market products. Some analysts view this trend as a strategic response to the rapid growth of stablecoins, which have become essential cash instruments throughout the digital asset ecosystem.
