Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Any statements contained in this presentation that do not describe historical facts may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, the risks described below. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should read this presentation completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In particular, forward-looking statements in this presentation may include statements about: anticipated trends, conditions and investor sentiment in the global markets and ETPs; anticipated levels of inflows into and outflows out of our ETPs; the sustainability of our inflows; our ability to deliver favorable rates of return to investors; competition in our business; whether we will experience future growth; our ability to gain market share; our ability to develop new products and services; our ability to maintain current vendors or find new vendors to provide services to us at favorable costs; our ability to successfully implement our strategy relating to digital assets and blockchain-enabled financial services, including WisdomTree Prime™, and achieve its objectives; projections regarding the global tokenized asset market; the ability of our long-term strategy to provide scale, stability, and margin expansion; whether the SEC will declare effective additional digital funds; our ability to successfully operate and expand our business in non-U.S. markets; the effect of laws and regulations that apply to our business; the potential effects of the resolution of the Contractual Gold Payments obligation on our earnings per share, net income, operating income, operating margin, interest income, dilution and the price of our common stock; the impact and contributions of the slate of director nominees our Company has nominated; the effectiveness of the Company’s board refreshment process in identifying director candidates with the set of skills to oversee the Company’s strategy; the ability of the director candidates proposed by Mr. Tuckwell to enhance the Company’s board or enhance its strategy; and actions of activist stockholders. Our business is subject to many risks and uncertainties, including without limitation: • declining prices of securities, gold and other precious metals and other commodities and changes in interest rates and general market conditions can adversely affect our business by reducing the market value of the assets we manage or causing WisdomTree ETP investors to sell their fund shares and trigger redemptions; • fluctuations in the amount and mix of our AUM, whether caused by disruptions in the financial markets or otherwise, including but not limited to a pandemic event such as COVID-19, or the war in Ukraine, may negatively impact revenues and operating margins, and may impede our ability to refinance our debt upon maturity or increase the cost of borrowing upon a refinancing; • competitive pressures could reduce revenues and profit margins; • we derive a substantial portion of our revenues from a limited number of products, and as a result, our operating results are particularly exposed to investor sentiment toward investing in the products’ strategies and our ability to maintain the AUM of these products, as well as the performance of these products and market-specific and political and economic risk; • a significant portion of our AUM is held in products with exposure to U.S. and international developed markets and we therefore have exposure to domestic and foreign market conditions and are subject to currency exchange rate risks; • withdrawals or broad changes in investments in our ETPs by investors with significant positions may negatively impact revenues and operating margins; • we face increased operational, regulatory, financial and other risks as a result of conducting our business internationally; • many of our ETPs have a limited track record, and poor investment performance could cause our revenues to decline; • we depend on third parties to provide many critical services to operate our business and our ETPs. The failure of key vendors to adequately provide such services could materially affect our operating business and harm WisdomTree ETP investors; and • actions of activist stockholders against us have been costly and may be disruptive and cause uncertainty about the strategic direction of our business. Other factors, such as general economic conditions, including currency exchange rate fluctuations, also may have an effect on the results of our operations. For a more complete description of the risks noted above and other risks that could cause our actual results to differ from our current expectations, see “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The forward-looking statements in this presentation represent our views as of the date of this presentation. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. Therefore, these forward-looking statements do not represent our views as of any date other than the date of this presentation.

Graham Tuckwell’s Past Raises Serious Questions About His and ETFS Capital’s Ethics and Decision Making Graham Tuckwell’s inappropriate actions showcase his lack of suitability to serve on WisdomTree’s Board. We established a 9.99% ownership limit on ETFS Capital to reduce Graham’s influence when WisdomTree acquired his European ETC business In 2019, three private equity firms – which were minority investors in ETF Securities Limited (now ETFS Capital) at the time the European ETC business of ETF Securities was sold to WisdomTree – filed a lawsuit in the Island of Jersey against Mr. Tuckwell and ETF Securities, seeking to receive their fair share of the sale proceeds The Court ruled in the minority stockholders’ favor, concluding that: ? Mr. Tuckwell “pursued a scheme designed to drive the Plaintiffs out of the Company at the best possible price for Mr. Tuckwell and not at a fair price to the Plaintiffs.” ? He threatened and ultimately removed the independent directors who were calling for the fair and equal treatment of stockholders. ? He deliberately misled stockholders and his own board about his intentions for the distribution of the proceeds and sidelined the board from critical conversations about the transaction, making decisions unilaterally and pushing out anyone who stood in his way. ? As Chairman, he “breached his duty to act in the best interests of the Company as a whole,” and an Appellate Court confirmed that he had “exercised those powers for the substantial purpose of benefiting himself and exacting revenge on stockholders he had come to resent.” 49 Source: Company records, public filings and court filings.

While ETFS Capital Claims to Be Aligned With All Stockholders, its Interest in the Contractual Gold Payments was a Fundamental Conflict Make no mistake – the resolution of the Contractual Gold Payments obligation is a significant positive for WisdomTree stockholders but this positive outcome underscores the depth of the conflict of interest Mr. Tuckwell has had for so many years Background of the Contractual Gold Payments ETFS Capital Benefited at the Expense of Stockholders ïƒ^ In connection with the Company’s acquisition of the European ETC ? Mr. Tuckwell recently negotiated against WisdomTree’s stockholders business of ETFS Capital in April 2018, the Company assumed an obligation and encouraged our largest creditor, WGC, to seek a higher price from for fixed payments to ETFS Capital of physical gold bullion us solely to justify a higher valuation for himselfïƒ^ The Contractual Gold Payments expense was approximately $17.1 million ? during 2022, and approximately $4.5 million during the first quarter of We had long sought to resolve the Contractual Gold Payments 2023 obligation, which has been an overhang for our Company and our stockholders ïƒ^ On May 10, 2023, we resolved WisdomTree’s Contractual Gold Payments ? After we had aligned with the WGC on price, Mr. Tuckwell attempted obligation to ETFS Capital and the World Gold Council (“WGC”), the to raise the price WisdomTree would pay to the WGC to enrich himself, ultimate recipient of 2/3 of the gold payment, for approximately $137 at the same moment he proposed himself as a director of your million(1) Company with a fiduciary duty to protect your interestsïƒ^ The annual impact of the transaction on the Company’s financial results ? When his attempts to negotiate a higher price with our largest creditor adds $18 million to operating income, expands WisdomTree’s operating failed, he then attempted to take credit for this favorable outcome margin by 530 basis points, yields a net income lift of more than $13 million and is approximately 15% accretive to current 2023 consensus EPS ? His actions only underscore the depth of the conflict of interest Mr. estimates Tuckwell has had for so many years, with financial incentives not just transaction extinguishes the liability of approximately different from those of other WisdomTree stockholders but ïƒ^ Furthermore, the $180 million reflected on the Company’s balance sheet at March 31, 2023 diametrically opposed, demonstrating yet again why he is wholly unsuited to serve as a fiduciary for stockholders other than himself 50 Source: Public filings. (1) 8-K filed May 10, 2023. Under the terms of the transaction, Gold Bullion Holdings (Jersey) Limited, a subsidiary of the WGC, received approximately $4.4 million in cash and non-voting preferred shares convertible into approximately 13.1 million shares of WisdomTree common stock. Rodber Investments Limited, an entity controlled by Graham Tuckwell, who is also Chairman of ETFS Capital, received approximately $45.6 million in cash.

Graham Tuckwell Continues to Have Long-standing Conflicts of Interest Graham Tuckwell’s conflict of interest at 21Shares ? In 2019, WisdomTree consented to ETFS Capital investing $3mm in 21Shares, a direct competitor of WisdomTree ? Mr. Tuckwell’s position that WisdomTree should cease crypto activity and cede to 21Shares at the nascent stages of the crypto ETP market is fraught with conflict given he has an investment in one of WisdomTree’s largest competitors in the space ? On multiple occasions, Mr. Tuckwell has directly advised the WisdomTree Board that we should shut down our European cryptocurrency business that competes with 21Shares, an action that would benefit him but would hardly be in the best interests of our other stockholders that do not also invest in direct competitors? Mr. Tuckwell should not be involved in important and strategic decisions at WisdomTree while he has significant skin in the game at one of our major competitors in Europe Graham Tuckwell’s ownership of online industry publications presents a conflict of interest ? Mr. Tuckwell also owns several online industry publications, including ETF.com and ETFStream.com, that have actively covered his multi-year campaign against WisdomTree in a flattering light and without seeking comment from WisdomTree, flouting journalistic best practices? It is inherently a conflict of interest for publications owned by Mr. Tuckwell to cover his engagement with WisdomTree and business activities without stating their affiliation with him ? These articles provide stockholders and the public with a partial story and misinformed information, misleading them into thinking these articles are written by an impartial media source, rather than a publication whose owner has a vested interest in this matter 51 Source: Public filings and Company records.

ETFS Capital is Deceiving Shareholders By Cherry-Picking Quotes ETFS Capital cherry-picked a quote from the back of a Wall Street research report to intentionally mislead shareholders and paint the Company in a negative light.

We outperformed the entirety of our identified peer group in 2022 and thus far in 2023. Graham Tuckwell is cherry-picking timeframes that fit his narrative and distorting the facts Removal of ETFS Capital nominee Deborah Fuhr Ms. Fuhr’s tenure on the Board was taken seriously – she was named one of just four OSCO members as well as a member of our Nominating & Governance Committee– and given a robust new director orientation which included numerous presentations. Our Board made the decision not to re-nominate Ms. Fuhr at the 2023 annual meeting after careful consideration of the necessary skills and experience required to enhance WisdomTree’s Board Director replacement and support for female directors Since 2021, we have added three female directors, one diverse male director and named one female director nominee; these new additions constitute a majority of our Board’s directors and nominees. Mr. Tuckwell would like to posture as an advocate for Board diversity, but the reality is that he named a slate of two men and one woman while calling into question a diverse candidate, Ms. Naidoo Refusal to engage in settlement discussions We repeatedly asked Graham Tuckwell to identify the director nominees he had in mind.However, Mr. Tuckwell refused to do so unless we first agreed to the self-serving “framework” he proposed, asking in effect for a blank check to change the composition of the Board to suit his own preferences.

Non-GAAP Financial Measurements In an effort to provide additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP information which we believe provides useful and meaningful information. Our management reviews these non-GAAP financial measurements when evaluating our financial performance and results of operations; therefore, we believe it is useful to provide information with respect to these non-GAAP measurements so as to share this perspective of management. Non-GAAP measurements do not have any standardized meaning, do not replace nor are superior to GAAP financial measurements and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measurements should be considered in the context with our GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measurements contained in this releaseinclude: • Adjusted operating income, operating expenses, income before income taxes, income tax expense, net income and diluted earnings per share. We disclose adjusted operating income, operating expenses, income before income taxes, income tax expense, net income and diluted earnings per share as non-GAAP financial measurements in order to report our results exclusive of items that are non-recurring or not core to our operating business. We believe presenting these non-GAAP financial measurements provides investors with a consistent way to analyze our performance. These non-GAAP financial measurements exclude the following: • Unrealized gains or losses on the revaluation of deferred consideration: Deferred consideration is an obligation we assumed in connection with the ETFS acquisition that is carried at fair value. This item represents the present value of an obligation to pay fixed ounces of gold into perpetuity and is measured using forward-looking gold prices. Changes in the forward-looking price of gold and changes in the discount rate used to compute the present value of the annual payment obligations may have a material impact on the carrying value of the deferred consideration and our reported financial results.We exclude this item when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements as it is not core to our operating business. The item is not adjusted for income taxes as the obligation was assumed by a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours that is based in Jersey, a jurisdiction where we are subject to a zero percent tax rate. • Gains or losses on financial instruments owned: We account for our financial instruments owned as trading securities which requires these instruments to be measured at fair value with gains and losses reported in net income. In the third quarter of 2021, we began excluding these items when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements as these securities have become a more meaningful percentage of total assets and the gains and losses introduce volatility in earnings and are not core to our operating business. • Tax windfalls and shortfalls upon vesting and exercise of stock-based compensation awards: GAAP requires the recognition of tax windfalls and shortfalls within income tax expense. These items arise upon the vesting and exercise of stock-based compensation awards and the magnitude is directly correlated to the number of awards vesting/exercised as well as the difference between the price of our stock on the date the award was granted and the date the award vested or was exercised. We exclude these items when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements as they introduce volatility in earnings and are not core to our operating business. • Other items: Loss on extinguishment of our convertible notes, impairments, remeasurement of consideration payable to us from the sale of our former Canadian ETF business, unrealized gains and losses recognized on our investments, changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance and expenses incurred in response to an activist campaign are excluded when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements. • Adjusted effective income tax rate. We disclose our adjusted effective income tax rate as a non-GAAP financial measurement in order to report our effective income tax rate exclusive of items that are non-recurring or not core to our operating business. We believe reporting our adjusted effective income tax rate provides investors with a consistent way to analyze our income taxes. Our adjusted effective income tax rate is calculated by dividing adjusted income tax expense by adjusted income before income taxes. See above for information regarding the items that are excluded. • Gross margin and gross margin percentage. We disclose our gross margin and gross margin percentage as non-GAAP financial measurements because we believe they provide investors with a consistent way to analyze the amount we retain after paying third-party service providers to operate our ETPs. These measures also assist us in analyzing the profitability of our products. We define gross margin as total operating revenues less fund management and administration expenses. Gross margin percentage is calculated as gross margin divided by total operating revenues. 70
