Recognized for driving adoption and operational excellence in digital assets
WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE:WT), a global financial innovator, today announced that WisdomTree Transfers, Inc. was awarded "Best Digital Asset Processing Solution" at the 2025 FTF News Technology Innovation Awards. WisdomTree Transfers is WisdomTree's blockchain-enabled transfer agency and registrar service. It serves as the transfer agent for WisdomTree's tokenized funds, maintaining official share ownership records. These records are held in both traditional book-entry form and digitized on the Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base and Optimism blockchains.
Through WisdomTree's two platforms, WisdomTree Prime® and WisdomTree Connect™, WisdomTree Transfers maintains transfer agent functions for numerous WisdomTree tokenized issues and successfully transacts thousands of orders on behalf of its issuer client, with over $241 million of tokenized AUM. With the largest collection of tokenized funds available, this award solidifies WisdomTree's leadership in providing tokenized real-world assets to a diverse and expanding market of retail and institutional investors.
Jonathan Steinberg, WisdomTree Founder and CEO, said, "We are utilizing our long-standing heritage and expertise as a global financial innovator to advance digital asset innovation, both responsibly and passionately. Our digital assets business operates nimbly onchain, prioritizing transparency, integrity, and protection of customer assets – principles that underpin every aspect of our infrastructure and operations."
"Advancing the boundaries for back-end technology, such as our integration of blockchain with transfer agent functions, is just as crucial as the front-end investor experience for driving the industry forward. We're pleased to be recognized by the FTF News Technology Innovation Awards for our work, and are determined to continue pushing the envelope," Steinberg added.
FTF's "Best Digital Asset Processing Solution" awards the most innovative and effective solution for managing the processing lifecycle of digital assets, including settlement, custody, reconciliation and compliance. It also recognizes the seamless handling of cryptocurrencies, tokenized securities and other blockchain-based assets, and celebrates the solution that enables market participants to embrace digital assets confidently and efficiently, driving adoption and operational excellence in this emerging sector.
In its 14th year, the 2025 FTF News Technology Innovation Awards, presented by Financial Technologies Forum and FTF News, celebrate and recognize the professionals, financial technology vendors, service providers, industry bodies, and regulators who have made significant strides and noteworthy achievements in operational excellence over the 2024 calendar year.

A blockchain is an open, distributed ledger that digitally records transactions in a verifiable way. A distributed ledger is a database in which data is stored in a decentralized manner. A blockchain stores transaction data in "blocks" that are linked together to form a "chain", and hence the name blockchain. Tokenization is the recording of digital representations of fund shares on an applicable blockchain.
There are risks associated with investing, including possible loss of principal. The Digital Funds (defined below) have limited performance history. Blockchain technology is a relatively new and untested technology, with little regulation. Blockchain systems could be vulnerable to fraud, particularly if a significant minority of participants colluded to defraud the rest. Potential risks also include vulnerability to theft, or inaccessibility, and future regulatory developments could affect its viability. Blockchain networks can also experience delays in transaction processing and settlement, particularly during periods of high network congestion or increased transaction volume. Flaws or errors in blockchain integrated recordkeeping could negatively impact the execution or recordkeeping of transactions in Digital Fund shares. Blockchain networks typically impose transaction fees in the form of the network's native digital asset. These fees can be unpredictable and may vary significantly depending on network conditions and levels of congestion. Investors should note that they may experience materially different service levels on different blockchains.
Cybersecurity attacks affecting a Digital Fund's third-party service providers, the application used to transact in Digital Fund shares, blockchain network, or the issuers of securities in which a Digital Fund invests may subject a Digital Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cybersecurity breaches.
WisdomTree Digital Funds (the "Digital Funds") are distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC (FFS). FFS is not affiliated with WisdomTree, Inc. and its subsidiaries, nor any entity mentioned in the press release. FFS does not provide digital wallet or digital asset services.
