  • "Similar to gold, bitcoin is a scarce and structurally deflationary asset. We believe these qualities can be expressed by adding bitcoin futures as a compelling asset for a commodity strategy that seeks to provide a hedge against inflation and returns uncorrelated with equities and fixed income. By adding a limited bitcoin futures position within GCC, we are not only seeking to enhance portfolio diversification, but we are also seeking to facilitate GCC’s ability to perform positively in both rising and falling markets without significantly affecting the risk profile of GCC."

  • "WisdomTree Prime will be blockchain-native - unlike many other consumer fintech apps today, we are aiming to take advantage of the latest financial infrastructure by building ON the latest financial infrastructure. This will remove intermediaries and deliver these services in a unified user experience. In doing so, we are embracing DeFi principles of choice, transparency and inclusivity."

  • "WisdomTree Prime is being built for savings, spending, and investing in digital assets. And we use the term digital assets broadly. For WisdomTree Prime, this term could include certain crypto assets like bitcoin or ether, but also blockchain-enabled funds (which may include funds that invest in stocks or bonds based on WisdomTree’s indexes) and tokenized versions of physical assets like gold, all while leveraging the same general architecture in seeking to provide a more unified experience. We think this approach is novel and different, and it is intended to lead to a better user experience."
