Today at SmartCon, WisdomTree, a global asset manager with over $130 billion in assets under management (AUM), announced its collaboration with Chainlink to bring net asset value (NAV) data for the WisdomTree Private Credit and Alternative Income Digital Fund (CRDT) on Ethereum mainnet via Chainlink’s institutional-grade data publishing service, DataLink.
A leading sponsor of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), WisdomTree’s digital asset business offers 14 SEC-registered tokenized funds across major blockchains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Optimism, Plume, and Stellar.
Launched last month, CRDT provides exposure to a diversified portfolio of liquid private credit and alternative income instruments, tracking the Gapstow Private Credit and Alternative Income Index. Bringing CRDT’s verified NAV data onchain via Chainlink allows WisdomTree to enable subscriptions and redemptions through its Prime and Connect platforms, while ensuring institutional-grade transparency, auditability, and interoperability.
Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform powering the vast majority of DeFi and bringing capital markets onchain. As the standard for verifiable onchain data and interoperability, Chainlink has enabled over $26 trillion in transaction value and is the preferred network for financial institutions to obtain essential pricing, NAV, and reserve data for tokenized real-world assets.
With verified NAV data available on Ethereum via Chainlink, DeFi protocols and institutional platforms can now reference CRDT’s valuation in smart contracts, unlocking new use cases across lending, yield aggregation, and automated portfolio management. In the future, WisdomTree plans to expand its Chainlink integration to additional tokenized funds.
“WisdomTree is excited to implement the Chainlink data standard to bring NAV data onchain for our Private Credit and Alternative Income Fund,” said Maredith Hannon, Head of Business Development, Digital Assets at WisdomTree, in an official announcement.
“By leveraging this infrastructure, we’re enhancing transparency and data integrity for tokenized real-world assets while supporting the broader growth of onchain financial markets. This collaboration demonstrates how regulated investment products can integrate seamlessly into blockchain ecosystems to unlock real-world yield opportunities.”
“I’m excited to see WisdomTree go live with Chainlink in production for its tokenized private credit fund, which proves how industry-standard onchain data infrastructure is now powering core institutional tokenized fund workflows,” added Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov.
“When a leading global asset manager and financial innovator such as WisdomTree integrates Chainlink’s platform, it sends a clear signal that institutional-grade decentralized data infrastructure has become the foundation of the new global financial system.”
