Key Takeaways
- Wisdomtree plans to bring WTGXX to Moonpay’s network of more than 35 million accounts.
- Moonpay plans to use WTGXX as part of its stablecoin reserve management in 2026.
- Wisdomtree and Moonpay expect the deal to expand into more tokenized funds globally.
Moonpay’s 35 Million Accounts Meet a Tokenized Treasury Fund
A money market fund that lives on blockchain rails is about to get a much bigger storefront. Wisdomtree and Moonpay announced a collaboration on Thursday, sharing the announcement with Bitcoin.com News. The firms noted that this would put WTGXX, Wisdomtree’s tokenized Treasury money market fund, within reach of Moonpay’s network of more than 35 million accounts.
That’s only half the story. Moonpay also plans to use WTGXX as part of the reserves supporting its stablecoin operations, effectively putting a regulated investment product to work behind another piece of crypto infrastructure. Wisdomtree, meanwhile, is building an access point for its tokenized funds using Moonpay’s technology.
A Money Market Fund With Blockchain Rails
WTGXX is a money market mutual fund packaged in tokenized form. Instead of Wisdomtree relying exclusively on its own direct channels, Moonpay’s technology is expected to provide another door into the fund for eligible U.S. investors.
That door is potentially enormous. Moonpay says its network contains more than 35 million accounts and serves over 1,700 partners. In plain English, Wisdomtree is taking a regulated investment product and plugging it into infrastructure already sitting between millions of people and digital assets.
“Money moves differently today, and investing needs to keep pace,” Wisdomtree founder and CEO Jonathan Steinberg said. He described the arrangement as another way for investors to deploy assets into WTGXX as stablecoins reshape how money is held and moved.
The Stablecoin Reserve Twist
Here’s where things get more interesting. Moonpay isn’t merely acting as a distribution pipe. The company further said it plans to use WTGXX as part of its own stablecoin reserve management.
That brings two corners of tokenized finance together: stablecoins designed to move value and tokenized Treasury products designed to put capital to work. Rather than those products living in separate boxes, Moonpay and Wisdomtree are building infrastructure where one can help support the other.
There is still ordinary financial risk beneath the blockchain wrapper. WTGXX seeks to maintain a value of $1 per share, but Wisdomtree explicitly says there’s no guarantee it will. The fund isn’t a bank account and carries no FDIC insurance.
As of Thursday, the fund’s total valuation stands at $1.23 billion according to rwa.xyz stats. There’s a total of 887 WTGXX holders and this partnership could push that number higher. Over the last seven days, the tokenized WTGXX fund’s estimated annual percentage yield stood at around 3.61%. The fund’s tokens are issued on Arbitrum, Solana, and Ethereum, but most of the value today is on the Ethereum network.
And This Might Be Only the Beginning
The 35 million-account opportunity may be the opening act. Wisdomtree and Moonpay also say the collaboration is expected to form the foundation of a broader relationship involving additional tokenized fund opportunities, including products across global markets.
That leaves an intriguing experiment underway. A traditional money market fund has been rebuilt on blockchain infrastructure, Moonpay wants it inside stablecoin reserves, and millions of accounts could eventually sit a few steps away from it. The old financial plumbing and the new, innovative rails are starting to look less separate by the day.
