SEC Approves 24/7 Trading for WisdomTree’s Tokenized Money Market Fund

In a landmark regulatory decision, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has granted exemptive relief allowing WisdomTree’s tokenized money market fund, WTGXX, to trade 24/7 with instant settlement. This approval, coupled with a separate nod from FINRA, dismantles a core constraint of traditional finance—the market’s daily closing bell—transforming a $730 million Treasury-backed fund into a form of digital cash that can be moved, spent, or traded at any hour. The move signals the SEC’s growing comfort with blockchain-augmented financial products and marks a pivotal step in the tokenization of mainstream capital markets.
