WisdomTree Accelerates ETH Tokenization on L2s After $152.6B AUM Record

WisdomTree reported a Q1 2026 AUM record of $152.6 billion (+30% YoY), fueled by $137 million net inflows into crypto ETPs—flipping a $89 million outflow from last year—and expansion into tokenized products. Initially highlighted on May 1 with launches of Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, and Solana ETPs on Ethereum L2 chains like Arbitrum and Avalanche, plus 24-hour trading for its Treasury fund, the story evolved on May 2 to emphasize accelerating real-world asset tokenization and Coinbase’s MegaETH futures listing to enhance ETH liquidity. ETH remains sideways near $2,304 (RSI ~52), with constructive institutional backdrop.
