Enables the linking of yield-bearing investment to WisdomTree Prime Visa® Debit Card

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 9, 2024-- WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT), a global financial innovator, today announced the ability for users to select the WisdomTree Government Money Market Digital Fund (WTGXX) as a spending source for their WisdomTree Prime Visa® Debit Card.

While, traditionally, a low to no yield checking account is used to fund debit card spend, WisdomTree Prime users can now tap their yield bearing money market fund balances to fund debit card spending¹. WTGXX investors can earn income, with a current 7-day yield of 4.60%² until the WTGXX shares are sold to fund spending, strengthening the connection between spending and yield-bearing investments.

WisdomTree Prime connects a liquid on-chain investment to spending capabilities, which unlocks utility of real world asset (RWA) tokenization in a new, unique way for eligible customers. Consumers can get the potential benefits of their own cash via an investment in WTGXX, all within WisdomTree Prime’s modern platform that integrates saving, spending and investing to offer greater control and choice in their financial lives.

“The purpose of WisdomTree Prime from its genesis has always been to empower consumers with choice. In this case, rolling out the capability to link our money market Digital Fund to our debit card gives users choice in how they put their money to work,” said Will Peck, Head of Digital Assets at WisdomTree. “We all have a traditional checking account that generally isn’t doing us any favors. By connecting a yield-earning asset directly to our spending functionality, users can fund their daily purchases all within the app with the funding mechanism potentially earning yield every single day via a WTGXX investment until the investment is sold to facilitate spending.”

Additional products and capabilities are scheduled to become available within the app on a rolling basis.

You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the Fund is not a bank account and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s advisor is not required to reimburse the Fund for losses, and you should not expect that the advisor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time, including during periods of market stress.

Blockchain technology is a relatively new and untested technology, with little regulation. Potential risks include vulnerability to fraud, theft, or inaccessibility, and future regulatory developments affect its viability. Cybersecurity attacks affecting third-party service providers, App, blockchain network, or assets may subject the products and services available in the App to many of the same risks associated with direct cybersecurity breaches.

The Fund is distributed by Foreside Fund services, LLC. Through the App, Fund investors may purchase, hold, sell, or transfer their shares. WisdomTree Securities, Inc. facilitates the ability for Fund investors on an “application-way” basis to purchase or sell Fund shares through the App. Foreside is not affiliated with WisdomTree, WisdomTree Securities, Inc., WisdomTree Prime, WisdomTree Digital Trust nor any other entity or products mentioned in this ad.

The WisdomTree Prime Visa Debit Card is issued by Stride Bank, N.A. Member FDIC, pursuant to a license from Visa USA Inc. Applicable taxes may apply in connection with each transaction made using the WisdomTree Prime Visa Debit Card. To the extent a Debit Card holder selects the Fund as the funding mechanism for a Debit Card transaction and thereafter uses the Debit Card for a transaction, the Debit Card holder, as a Fund investor, is authorizing (instructing) the redemption of Fund shares for the equivalent U.S. Dollar amount sufficient to fund the Debit Card transaction in U.S. Dollars at settlement, and any related fees and charges per applicable account and user agreements, and the transfer of such funds as necessary for Debit Card transaction settlement.

References to “save” generally refers to a user’s ability to select one or more highly liquid, relatively low risk cash management solutions and references to “spend” generally refers to a user’s ability to designate one or more digital asset(s) and/or other assets to be sold, or to sell one or more digital asset(s) with near instant settlement, to fund a debit card purchase on settlement. Spending and making purchases require actions to be taken in the discretion of the user which require user actions outside of the domain or functionality of the app and which rely on third parties, including third parties for which the user will need to have a separate relationship.
