WisdomTree Launches Tokenized Private Credit Fund on Blockchain

WisdomTree has rolled out its Private Credit and Alternative Income Digital Fund (CRDT), marking a significant step in bridging traditional finance with blockchain technology. The fund, now live, provides exposure to a diversified index of 35 closed-end funds, business development companies, and REITs—a strategy the firm has honed since 2021 through its existing ETF.

CRDT democratizes private credit investments by enabling retail and institutional participation via tokenization. With a $25 minimum entry and two-day redemption windows, the fund targets crypto-native investors seeking transparent access to alternative income streams. Notably, the structure offers liquidity without direct loan ownership—a trade-off for broader accessibility.

"This vehicle brings institutional-grade diversification directly to blockchain," said Will Peck, WisdomTree's Head of Digital Assets. Jeremy Schwartz, Global CIO, emphasized the firm's four-year commitment to expanding access to alternative assets—a vision now crystallized through this DeFi-friendly product.
