WisdomTree taps Chainlink to bring CRDT fund’s NAV data onchain

WisdomTree, a global asset manager with over $130 billion in assets under management (AUM), has partnered with Chainlink, a leading decentralized oracle network.

This collaboration, announced on November 5, 2025, leverages Chainlink’s robust infrastructure to bring Net Asset Value (NAV) data for the WisdomTree Private Credit and Alternative Income Digital Fund (CRDT) onto the Ethereum blockchain.

WisdomTree taps Chainlink

WisdomTree, which is known for its innovative financial products, has chosen Chainlink to underpin its tokenized fund offerings with secure, reliable data.

Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network is celebrated for delivering tamper-proof data feeds.

This makes the platform an ideal partner for WisdomTree’s ambition to bridge traditional finance (TradFi) with decentralized finance (DeFi).

The partnership aligns with WisdomTree’s strategic expansion into digital assets, building on its existing platforms, WisdomTree Prime and WisdomTree Connect.

By connecting with Chainlink’s technology, WisdomTree brings the best-in-class solution to CRDT.

The fund, which tracks the Gapstow Liquid Alternative Credit Index (GLACI), adheres to institutional-grade standards of transparency and auditability.

It's a major step in on-chain finance adoption.

Unlocking new opportunities

As noted, WisdomTree looks to leverage Chainlink’s secure and auditable data infrastructure to enable real-time subscriptions and redemptions for the fund.

The $130 billion AUM firm will tap into this feature to ensure that NAV data meets expected institutional standards.

It’s also for interoperability with the broader digital asset ecosystem.

Commenting on the collaboration, Maredith Hannon, head of business development, digital assets at WisdomTree, said:

A key aspect of the partnership is the ability for DeFi protocols and institutional platforms to reference CRDT’s NAV data within smart contracts.

Deployed, the technology could see a large part of the ecosystem unlock new use cases and benefits.

It includes lending, yield aggregation, and automated portfolio management.

Chainlink's key role in crypto

Chainlink continues to power and secure value across decentralized finance, with the oracle network’s compliance-focused infrastructure integrated across the ecosystem. 

The platform recently unveiled Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), an orchestration layer for onchain finance adoption.

It also launched Automated Compliance Engine, a partner ecosystem encompassing over 20 top compliance providers, frameworks, and regulators.

The goal is to power the next phase of DeFi and RWA adoption with on-chain compliance.

CRE and ACE add to other key solutions such as cross-chain interoperability protocol (CCIP), Data Streams, and Data Feeds.

Apart from global financial institutions and DeFi platforms, Chainlink's solution currently powers the US government's on-chain rollout of macroeconomic data.

FTSE Russell is one of the latest platforms to adopt the Oracle Network's solutions.
