WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT), a global financial innovator, today
announced that it has been granted a charter from the New York
State Department of Financial Services (DFS) to operate as a
limited purpose trust company under the New York Banking Law. The
trust company charter provides the most distinguished authorization
in the digital assets landscape to serve customers under enhanced
regulatory supervision and marks the ability to launch WisdomTree
Prime in New York.
The trust company charter authorizes WisdomTree to perform
fiduciary custody of digital assets, including digital wallet
services, to issue and exchange DFS-approved stablecoins and manage
stablecoin reserves under the newly formed entity, WisdomTree
Digital Trust Company, LLC. WisdomTree joins only a few other
digital asset trust companies with this charter, demonstrating its
position at the helm of the industry’s shift to blockchain-enabled
financial services.
“The New York State Department of Financial Services is the
premier regulator for businesses that engage in digital asset
activity. This well-established trust company charter program –
which long predates digital assets – is based on bank-grade
regulation, allowing us to offer products that capitalize on
innovation without sacrificing customer protection,” said Jonathan
Steinberg, WisdomTree Founder and CEO. “This approval not only
allows us to participate in New York’s rapidly growing digital
asset marketplace today, but equips WisdomTree to lead in the
industry evolution of tomorrow.”
Initially, WisdomTree Digital Trust Company will provide
products to customers as part of the WisdomTree Prime ecosystem.
Specifically, WisdomTree Digital Trust Company will issue the
WisdomTree Gold Token and the WisdomTree Dollar Token available in
WisdomTree Prime and maintain reserves for those assets under a
DFS-approved framework. This charter will also allow WisdomTree to
offer New York retail customers access to WisdomTree Prime, set to
be available in the coming weeks.
“Held to the highest compliance standards in the industry, a New
York limited purpose trust company provides the leading platform to
offer regulated tokenized products and services to WisdomTree’s
retail and institutional customers,” said Will Peck, Head of
Digital Assets at WisdomTree and CEO of WisdomTree Digital Trust
Company, LLC. “We have a robust initial product offering and a
strong plan to grow in a responsible manner with this charter in
New York and through our other licenses across the nation.”
WisdomTree Prime offers one integrated ecosystem to save, spend,
and invest – bringing the consumer’s financial life on-chain. With
its trust charter and fiduciary powers, the trust company can offer
enhanced protections to its customers, including with respect to
its safekeeping of assets. Additionally, WisdomTree plans to use
the WisdomTree Digital Trust Company to offer products and services
to institutions and business customers in the future.
WisdomTree Prime is available in the Apple App Store and Google
Play. Please visit https://www.wisdomtreeprime.com/ for the latest
