Particula Assigns AAA-Rating to WisdomTree’s $1.2B Tokenized Money Market Fund
RWA Signal Insight
U.S. TreasuriesParticula has officially assigned a AAA-rating to WisdomTree’s Treasury Money Market Digital Fund (WTGXX), a tokenized fund currently managing approximately $1.2 billion in assets. This rating, the highest on Particula’s 26-notch scale, validates the fund's bankruptcy-remote structure, direct beneficial ownership rights, and robust institutional-grade operational controls. The WTGXX token operates as a series of the WisdomTree Digital Trust, investing exclusively in U.S. Treasury securities and cash equivalents to maintain a stable $1.00 NAV. The fund’s regulatory standing was bolstered in February 2026 when the SEC granted exemptive relief allowing broker-dealers to trade shares on a principal basis. This development is significant for the RWA market as it provides institutional investors with independent risk verification for onchain assets. By combining traditional Rule 2a-7 money market protections with tokenized settlement, the fund facilitates efficient liquidity across both primary and secondary markets. This milestone underscores the growing trend of integrating traditional financial oversight with blockchain-based infrastructure to attract large-scale capital.
