WisdomTree has introduced a tokenized real-world assets (RWA) platform called WisdomTree Connect. Initially, the platform will store users' tokenized investment funds with third-party custodians while providing a digital ownership record to the user's personal wallet. The goal is to eventually allow access to RWAs through various platforms and self-hosted wallets. RWAs, valued at over $12 billion, offer a $30 trillion global market opportunity. Regulatory requirements, such as SEC mandates for third-party custody, have hindered adoption among crypto users who prefer self-custody. Franklin Templeton is also exploring RWAs on Ethereum with user-managed wallets. WisdomTree's tokenized funds cover a range of assets, including money market instruments and S&P 500 stocks. By expanding access to user-managed wallets, WisdomTree Connect aims to bridge traditional and decentralized finance sectors. Read more AI-generated news on: https://app.chaingpt.org/news
