Global asset manager WisdomTree has introduced a digital fund that brings a traditional options income strategy onchain, highlighting growing integration between conventional asset management and blockchain infrastructure.
The WisdomTree Equity Premium Income Digital Fund trades under token ticker EPXC and fund ticker WTPIX. It is designed to track the Volos US Large Cap Target 2.5% PutWrite Index, which models a systematic put-writing strategy that sells cash‑secured put options to generate income. Rather than writing options directly on the S&P 500, the benchmark uses contracts tied to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), allowing the strategy to earn option premiums as the option seller.
Put-writing can offer investors a steady stream of premium income and a limited downside buffer in flat or modestly falling markets, which may appeal to those concerned about volatility. EPXC is available to both institutional and retail investors and, because it is tokenized, can be accessed by crypto-native users who benefit from blockchain-enabled faster settlement and greater transfer flexibility than traditional fund structures.
Will Peck, WisdomTree’s head of digital assets, said the launch aims to give investors more options for executing strategies onchain and represents another step in the firm’s push into tokenized products.
WisdomTree was an early mover in fund tokenization and now operates 15 tokenized funds across blockchains including Ethereum, Avalanche and Base. Its Government Money Market Digital Fund—a tokenized version of a traditional government money market fund that holds short-term U.S. government securities—is the firm’s most active tokenized product, with more than $730 million in assets according to industry data. In September, WisdomTree also launched a tokenized private credit fund offering blockchain-based access to privately originated credit and has seen rapid inflows since launch.
The wider wealth and financial industries have been slower to adopt tokenization, with institutions such as Goldman Sachs and BNY Mellon only recently introducing tokenized money market products. Some market participants see tokenized funds as a response to the rapid growth of stablecoins, which increasingly function as cash instruments across much of the digital-asset ecosystem.
