Key Takeaways
- Mantle launched a tokenization-as-a-service platform, alongside hackathons and scholarships, to accelerate real-world asset adoption.
- World Liberty Financial, led by Donald Trump Jr., Zach Witkoff and Zak Folkman, said its USD1 stablecoin will deploy on Mantle.
- Bybit-backed Mantle positioned itself as a bridge between traditional finance and DeFi, with liquidity routes through Hyperliquid, Coinbase International Exchange and Revolut.
Blockchain platform Mantle launched on Thursday a tokenization-as-a-service product, along with global hackathons and a scholarship program, as part of its push into real-world assets (RWAs), while World Liberty Financial (WLFI) said it will deploy its USD1 stablecoin on the Mantle network.
Mantle, backed by crypto exchange Bybit, said its framework will cover licensing and know-your-customer checks, legal structuring, smart contract deployment, audits and security monitoring, alongside a compliant user interface.
The service links into Mantle’s DeFi infrastructure, giving issuers access to pricing across both centralized and decentralized venues, and is designed to provide traditional institutions with a compliant pathway to bring assets on-chain.
Speaking at the Milken Asia Summit, Mantle adviser Emily Bao said RWAs are “no longer niche,” pointing to a $26 billion market today with trillions forecast by 2030. “Institutions are racing to bring assets on-chain,” she said, adding that Mantle is building the compliance, liquidity and developer programs to meet that demand.
Mantle said tokenized assets on its network will be accessible through decentralized exchange Hyperliquid and derivatives on Coinbase International Exchange, with plans to add a Revolut listing to reach European retail users.
Meanwhile, WLFI, co-founded by Donald Trump Jr., Zach Witkoff and Zak Folkman, confirmed the USD1 deployment at the Mantle Mixer event, framing Mantle as a network positioned for compliant, large-scale tokenized issuance.
Bybit chief executive Ben Zhou said Mantle now sits “at the heart” of its ecosystem. “Together, we’re building a full-stack institutional bridge from TradFi to DeFi — with RWAs at the center,” he said.
MNT Approaches $2, MACD Turns Positive, RSI Signals Strength
Mantle’s token (MNT) climbed to fresh highs near $2 after the announcements, with technical indicators signaling a shift.
The MACD histogram has turned positive with its signal lines trending upward, confirming renewed bullish pressure, while the relative strength index is holding above 60 without yet flashing overbought conditions.
Together, the indicators suggest room for further upside if $2 breaks cleanly, though short-term pullbacks toward support near $1.82 remain possible.
