[BlockBeats] There was an interesting piece of news on December 8. Global asset management giant WisdomTree has come up with something new—they’ve brought traditional options strategies directly on-chain. What does this mean? The line between established financial institutions and blockchain infrastructure is becoming increasingly blurred.

This fund is called the WisdomTree Equity Premium Income Digital Fund, with the token symbol EPXC and the fund code WTPIX. Its goal is clear: to track the performance of the Volos US Large Cap Target 2.5% PutWrite Index.

The strategy isn’t complicated. This index simulates a “systematic cash-secured put writing” strategy—in simple terms, it earns premiums by selling put options. However, instead of operating directly on the S&P 500 index, it focuses on contracts for the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (symbol SPY). By selling cash-secured put options, it steadily collects option premiums.

Now, this traditional asset management options income strategy can run on-chain. This kind of integration is definitely worth watching.
