Chainlink and WisdomTree Announce Partnership
World-renowned oracle platform Chainlink (LINK) and WisdomTree, a global asset manager with over $130 billion in assets under management, announced today that they will use Chainlink’s DataLink Services infrastructure to migrate the Net Asset Value (NAV) data of WisdomTree’s tokenized fund, Private Credit and Alternative Income Digital Fund (CRDT), to the Ethereum mainnet.
Goals of the Collaboration
According to a press release, WisdomTree aims to integrate its tokenized product line with Chainlink's price data infrastructure, providing on-chain transparency while opening up new opportunities in the DeFi ecosystem. The collaboration will initially begin with the CRDT fund and is planned to expand to other WisdomTree tokenized funds in the future.
Launch of the CRDT Fund
Launched on September 12, 2025, the WisdomTree Private Credit and Alternative Income Digital Fund (CRDT) provides access to a diversified portfolio of liquid private credit and alternative income instruments that track the Gapstow Private Credit and Alternative Income Index.
Benefits of Chainlink Integration
The implementation of the Chainlink data standard allows traditional asset managers to manage tokenized funds within compliant legal frameworks. With verified NAV data now available on Ethereum via Chainlink, DeFi protocols and enterprise platforms will be able to support new use cases such as lending, yield aggregation, and portfolio management by referencing CRDT pricing in smart contracts.
