The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 24, 2026, approved an exemptive order for the WisdomTree Digital Money Market Fund (WTGXX), which enables it to function differently from other mutual funds.

This historic ruling enables tokenized shares to be priced at $1.00 all day long, and investors can immediately buy or sell shares.
Traditionally, the investor in a mutual fund had to await the end of the day to find out how much his or her shares were worth, a practice called “forward pricing.”
However, with the SEC’s approval, blockchain technology enables near-instant settlement, faster access to capital, and smoother operations for the investor and registered broker-dealers.
SEC Greenlights On-Chain Fund
The significance of the SEC’s decision is that the fund will be able to settle its transactions on a real-time basis using on-chain technology, eliminating the multi-day settlement periods associated with conventional mutual fund transactions.
Investors will be able to trade throughout the day without having to wait until the market closes, and registered broker-dealers will be able to participate in on-chain transactions.
These new rules enable shares to trade at $1.00 all day, providing investors with instant access to trade or sell shares. Broker-dealers are able to trade directly on-chain, and automated ledgers enable fast settlement and minimize administrative work.

Ensuring Fairness and Liquidity
The SEC has verified that WisdomTree Securities Inc. can make these transactions without gaining an unfair competitive edge. This ensures that there is liquidity, which provides easier access to funds for investors.
This strategy places the WisdomTree fund in an advantageous position to compete with other conventional money market funds and regulated stablecoins. This may bring in new capital, persuade other funds to adopt blockchain trading, and change investors’ expectations.
Money market funds hold a stable share price of $1.00 but are not FDIC insured. Technical and regulatory risks exist with on-chain transactions. Consult a financial advisor before investing.
