PANews reported on December 8th, citing Cointelegraph, that global asset management firm WisdomTree has launched a new digital asset fund – the WisdomTree Equity Premium Income Digital Fund (token code EPXC, fund code WTPIX). This fund tracks the price and return performance of the Volos US Large Cap Target 2.5% PutWrite Index, introducing traditional options strategies to the blockchain, highlighting the trend of merging traditional asset management with blockchain financial infrastructure. Its benchmark index simulates a systematic "put option" strategy, profiting by selling cash-backed put options. Instead of trading directly against the S&P 500 index, it uses a contract linked to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust to act as the option seller and earn option premiums. The EPXC fund is open to both institutional and retail investors. Because the fund is tokenized, crypto-native users can also invest.
