Personal finance app merges saving, spending, and investing, bringing tokenization and blockchain-enabled finance to the center of the consumer’s financial life.

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT), a global financial innovator, today announced that WisdomTree Prime™ is now available, granting investors access to the blockchain-enabled financial app built to save, spend, and invest in digital assets and WisdomTree Digital Funds. The personal finance app is available in the Apple App Store and Google Play for users across 21 states in the U.S.

WisdomTree Prime™ provides users with a curated and user-friendly investing experience covering a wide variety of asset classes all within a blockchain-native ecosystem. This includes a select suite of crypto assets including Bitcoin and Ether, tokenized physical assets like gold, and exposure to mainstream traditional asset classes via WisdomTree’s very own Digital Funds. WisdomTree’s in-house SEC registered transfer agent keeps a secondary record of investor ownership of Digital Fund shares on either the Stellar or Ethereum blockchains. The Digital Funds are available exclusively on the WisdomTree Prime™ app.

Will Peck, Head of Digital Assets at WisdomTree, said, “This initial launch of WisdomTree Prime is an exciting milestone in our tokenization and blockchain-enabled finance initiatives. WisdomTree Prime is bringing forward a user-friendly, curated investing experience across a range of strategies in fixed income, equities, gold and cryptocurrencies. Bringing traditional assets into the digital ecosystem will allow for blockchain technology to be used in a more mainstream capacity, positioning the app to be at the center of an investor’s financial life over time. Over the coming months, we will continue to roll out new features and expand access in additional states. We look forward to sharing our continued progress as we focus on increased accessibility and adoption.”

WisdomTree Digital Funds – Important Information

Each WisdomTree Digital Fund (each, a “Digital Fund”) invests at least 80% of its assets in either fixed income securities (e.g., U.S. Treasuries) or equity securities (e.g., U.S. listed stocks) as further described in each Digital Fund’s prospectus. Reference to “blockchain enabled” is meant to reflect the fact that each Digital Fund uses blockchain technology. The Digital Funds will not directly or indirectly invest in any assets that rely on blockchain technology, such as cryptocurrencies.

A blockchain is an open, distributed ledger that digitally records transactions in a verifiable and immutable (i.e., permanent) way using cryptography. A distributed ledger is a database in which data is stored in a decentralized manner. Cryptography is a method of storing and transmitting data in a particular form so that only those for whom it is intended can read and process it. A blockchain stores transaction data in “blocks” that are linked together to form a “chain”, and hence the name blockchain.

There are risks associated with investing, including possible loss of principal. Because each Digital Fund is new, it has no performance history. Blockchain technology is a relatively new and untested technology, with little regulation. Blockchain systems could be vulnerable to fraud, particularly if a significant minority of participants colluded to defraud the rest. Potential risks also include vulnerability to theft, or inaccessibility, and future regulatory developments could affect its viability. For the Digital Funds investing in U.S. Treasury obligations, such obligations may provide relatively lower returns than those of other securities. Changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value to decline. Fixed income securities are subject interest rate, credit, inflation, and reinvestment risks. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed-income securities fall. For the Digital Funds investing in U.S. equity securities, the trading prices of U.S. equity securities fluctuate in response to a variety of factors, such as economic, financial or political events that impact the entire market, market segments, or specific issuers. The types of U.S. equity securities in which an applicable Digital Fund may provider relatively lower returns than those of other securities.

Cybersecurity attacks affecting a Digital Fund’s third-party service providers, the mobile phone application used to transact in Digital Fund shares, blockchain network, or the issuers of securities in which the Digital Fund invests may subject the Digital Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cybersecurity breaches.
