Not really. SegWit transactions are on-blockchain like any other - the only difference is that nodes which aren't keeping a full copy of the blockchain can save some extra space by discarding the witness part immediately after processing the block. (So I guess if you wanted to be pedantic you might be able to argue the witness part is off-blockchain in some sense, but even then the transfer of bitcoins still happens on the main blockchain.)
