The post WisdomTree Launches Tokenized Private Credit Fund as RWA Market Surges appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Blockchain 13 September 2025 | 16:35 The race to bring traditional finance products on-chain gained another player this week when asset manager WisdomTree introduced a blockchain fund aimed at private credit.
