WisdomTree launches new tokenized fund, bringing options yield strategies to the blockchain

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, global asset management company WisdomTree has launched a new digital asset fund—the WisdomTree Equity Premium Income Digital Fund (token symbol EPXC, fund code WTPIX). This fund tracks the price and yield performance of the Volos U.S. Large Cap Target 2.5% PutWrite Index, introducing traditional options strategies to the blockchain and highlighting the trend of integration between traditional asset management and blockchain financial infrastructure.

Its benchmark index simulates a systematic "put writing" strategy, generating profits by selling cash-secured put options. Instead of trading directly on the S&P 500 Index, it uses contracts linked to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust to act as the option seller and earn option premiums. The EPXC fund is open to both institutional and retail investors. Due to the tokenization of the fund, crypto-native users are also able to invest.
