The verdict is on the memo: WisdomTree 500 Digital ETF Not approved
Eligibility
Each answer quotes the issuer’s own words from the document named under it. Ketju reads each document again and records whether the words are still there. Where the documents say nothing, the row states that.
- What the holder owns
One share of a registered ETF, recorded on a blockchain instead of at DTC; the same security either way.
“Each Tokenized Share is a digital representation of one share of the Fund recorded on a blockchain. Tokenized Shares do not constitute a separate instrument or a different type of security from DTCC Shares; rather they are a digital form of the same underlying shares of the Fund.”

- Who may hold it
No one yet: nothing may be sold until the registration is effective, now set for 18 October 2026.
“We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective.”

- Who may hold it
Once effective, anyone whose wallet WisdomTree Transfers has verified and approved; the filing sets no investor test.
“Tokenized Shares may only be held in blockchain wallets that have been verified and approved by WisdomTree Transfers.”

- First purchase minimum
The filing states no minimum. Shares trade at market prices through brokers or dealers, and the fund itself deals only in Creation Unit Aggregations.
- Who it may be transferred to
Only between wallets WisdomTree Transfers has approved, at any hour; a transfer is not legally valid until WisdomTree Transfers records it.
“The ability to conduct peer-to-peer transfers is currently limited to verified and permissioned wallets of investors for supported blockchains. A peer-to-peer transfer could occur any time of the day on any day, but would not be legally valid until registered by WisdomTree Transfers.”

- How a holder redeems
A holder cannot redeem. Only authorized participants redeem, in creation-unit blocks; a holder sells to a dealer or another approved wallet, or switches to DTCC form and sells on the exchange.
“Tokenized Shares may only be redeemed in Creation Unit Aggregations by Authorized Participants and holders of Tokenized Shares will not be able to individually redeem Tokenized Shares (the inability to individually redeem also applies to DTCC Shares).”

- Who keeps the official record
WisdomTree Transfers, the digital transfer agent. Its book-entry record is the official record of Tokenized Shares; the chain is reconciled to it daily, and BNY’s overall count controls if the two cannot be reconciled.
“WisdomTree Transfers’ book-entry records constitute the official record of ownership for Tokenized Shares.”

- What the issuer says it can freeze or take back
Smart contracts block transfers to or from unregistered wallets and can claw back tokens that do not match the book-entry record. No contract is public yet, so we have not read the powers.
“Specifically, smart contracts have been developed to support functions such as transfer restrictions to prevent unauthorized transfers to or from unregistered wallets and ability to claw back tokens to the extent that the digital representation of Fund share ownership does not align with the book-entry records.”

The transfer agent’s SEC record
A transfer agent registers with the SEC on Form TA-1 and reports each year on Form TA-2: how many securityholder accounts it keeps and for how many issues it keeps the master securityholder file, the list that says who owns each share.
| Agent | SEC file | TA-2 period | Accounts | Issues with master file | Work it hires out |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WisdomTree Transfers, Inc. | 084-06766 | 2025-12-31 | 699 | 15 | None |
Who controls it
Ketju read these powers from the deployed contracts and their verified source code: the token and every contract it checks on a transfer. A power listed here is something the issuer can do; it does not mean the issuer has used it.
No token contract for this program is public, so Ketju cannot yet read anything from the chain. The issuer’s own statement of its powers is quoted above. Ketju will read the contract on the day the issuer publishes it.
Where it trades
| Venue | Kind |
|---|---|
| Listing exchange for DTCC Shares (not named in the May 12, 2026 amendment) | exchange |
| WisdomTree Securities, Inc. and other broker-dealers, principal trades in Tokenized Shares | issuer primary |
No Tokenized Securities Venue lists this token. Secondary trading, if any, is outside the exemption.
Redemption
| Route | Settlement | Settles in |
|---|---|---|
| Redeem in kind | Only authorized participants redeem, in Creation Unit Aggregations, for a basket of securities and/or cash at NAV; NAV is struck at the close of the NYSE, generally 4:00 p.m. New York time. A holder of either form cannot redeem a share. A holder can switch a Tokenized Share to a DTCC Share by filing a transfer form with WisdomTree Transfers, which may take multiple business days | USD |
- The registration goes effective (18 October 2026 as of the 485BXT of 18 September 2026) or WisdomTree files another delay; Ketju will then review the file again against the effective prospectus
- WisdomTree publishes the token contract addresses and the chains that hold Tokenized Shares; Ketju then reads each contract and adds who can freeze, pause, or upgrade it
- The effective prospectus names the ticker, the listing exchange, the sub-adviser, the fee, or a state list
- WisdomTree Transfers or The Bank of New York Mellon stops serving the fund, or the prospectus changes which record governs
- A broker-dealer other than WisdomTree Securities publishes terms for trading Tokenized Shares
Daily checks
No contract is public yet, so Ketju has nothing to read on chain. Ketju reads the documents quoted above every day and opens a review when any of them changes; that is how Ketju learns of a newly published contract. Ketju adds the contract to its daily checks on the day it is published. Ketju reads EDGAR for the transfer agent’s registration.
File history
Ketju has not revised this file since filing it. If Ketju revises it, the earlier version stays as published, with the reason.
