WisdomTree: Clarity Act is not a barrier to crypto innovation; existing regulations are sufficient

ME News message, April 1 (UTC+8). Asset management company WisdomTree said that the “Clarity Act” currently being debated by the U.S. Congress is not a necessary prerequisite for it to advance its crypto and tokenization business, and industry innovation can continue under the existing regulatory framework. Will Peck, head of digital assets at the company, noted that the SEC’s existing tools are sufficient to support the development of tokenized securities and funds. “We don’t think this bill is a threshold.” WisdomTree has continued to build out its presence in the crypto and tokenization space in recent years. It has launched spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S., and offers a range of crypto exchange-traded products in Europe. Recently, the company has focused on tokenized real-world assets (RWA), especially money market funds, and has already found some degree of market fit. Peck revealed that the fund achieves near “real-time settlement” by obtaining regulatory exemptions, allowing investors to convert at any time between U.S. dollars, stablecoins (such as USDC), and the fund itself, demonstrating a new model after traditional financial products move on-chain. The company plans to further expand into more tokenized products in the future, including ETFs and income-generating assets, so investors can directly access traditional financial assets through digital wallets. Although Peck believes the “Clarity Act” is beneficial for the industry, he emphasized that industry development has not stalled: “Even amid market volatility, we’re still moving full speed ahead (all systems go).” (Source: ODAILY)
