WisdomTree Unveils Direct Spending from Tokenized Fund with Visa Card

WisdomTree has unveiled a feature enabling users of its Visa debit card to make purchases directly from its tokenized money market fund, the WisdomTree Government Money Market Digital Fund (WTGXX).

This integration allows users to not only spend their funds but also earn interest on their investments until the money is needed for transactions.

As of October 9, the WTGXX fund, which invests in U.S. Treasury bills and other liquid assets, offers a yield of approximately 4.6% and manages around $12 million in assets.

The asset manager oversees a variety of tokenized funds, including significant offerings like the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund and the Franklin OnChain US Government Money Fund, which hold assets totaling $520 million and $440 million, respectively.
