This transaction will enable WisdomTree to expand its business into the fields of exchange-traded products (ETP), custody, and tokenization markets. The acquisition amount includes $275 million in cash paid at the closing of the transaction and up to $225 million in earn-out consideration.

Unlike betting agreements, earn-out adjustments focus more on quantifiable and objective data, reducing human intervention factors.)
