Global asset manager WisdomTree has unveiled its USDW stablecoin with a unique dividend distribution feature for tokenized asset holders, marking a strategic expansion following the US GENIUS Act's implementation.
Unlike conventional stablecoins, USDW offers dividend payments on eligible tokenized assets through WisdomTree's digital trust platform. The New York-chartered trust company issues the dollar-pegged token to facilitate payments and support the firm's growing suite of onchain investment products.
——"This bridges the gap between stablecoin utility and investment returns," said Will Peck, WisdomTree's digital assets lead——
The rebranded stablecoin (formerly WUSD) currently operates on Stellar blockchain via WisdomTree Prime, with plans for multi-chain expansion. It serves as an interoperability layer between traditional finance and digital assets, allowing users to:
• Receive dividends in USDW or reinvest through automated programs
• Access the firm's tokenized money market fund (WTGXX)
• Transition between major stablecoins like USDC
The launch coincides with the GENIUS Act's passage, which establishes strict compliance frameworks for dollar-pegged tokens. Industry projections suggest the stablecoin market could reach 【$3.7 trillion】 by 2030, with current valuations at $268 billion.
Major banks including JPMorgan and Bank of America are reportedly developing similar digital dollar solutions, signaling growing institutional adoption. WisdomTree's approach uniquely combines regulatory compliance with yield-generating features—a potential game-changer for the 【$268 billion】 stablecoin market.
Initial deployment focuses on corporate use cases including:
• Onchain investment settlements
• Treasury management operations
• Cross-border payment solutions
The platform's architecture allows seamless conversion between USDW and other compliant stablecoins, creating liquidity pathways while maintaining regulatory adherence.
