WisdomTree said its crypto exchange-traded products recorded $137 million in net inflows in the first quarter of 2026, marking a sharp reversal from the $890 million in net outflows reported in the same period a year earlier. The shift suggests a notable improvement in investor demand for listed crypto investment vehicles.
Across the broader business, the asset manager’s total assets under management climbed to $152.6 billion, representing more than 30% year-over-year growth. According to the company, that expansion was driven largely by strong capital inflows across the U.S. and European markets.
Crypto ETP assets hold up despite weaker prices
Digital asset prices declined during the quarter and weighed on product balances. WisdomTree said the market downturn reduced crypto ETP AUM by $596 million from the $2.2 billion level at the start of the quarter. Even so, its crypto ETP AUM still rose 15% from a year earlier to roughly $1.8 billion.
The figures indicate that fresh inflows helped offset part of the price-driven decline in portfolio values. They also point to continued interest from investors seeking regulated crypto exposure through exchange-traded structures rather than direct token holdings.
Broader product range and tokenization push
WisdomTree also expanded its lineup with new ETPs linked to Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana. In parallel, the firm said it is advancing its real-world asset tokenization strategy across multiple blockchain networks, signaling a broader digital asset push beyond passive crypto exposure.
Overall, the quarter highlights two trends for WisdomTree: a clear recovery in crypto ETP flows compared with the prior year, and continued strategic investment in new products and tokenization infrastructure even as digital asset prices remain under pressure.
