OM Price Remains Positive as MANTRA Announces $108 Million RWA Fund

MANTRA is planning to launch a $108,888,888 Ecosystem Fund to drive RWA innovation over the next four years and help accelerate projects in MANTRA’s blockchain ecosystem.

MANTRA’s native token OM has shown significant resilience in the current market downturn. OM is currently the only altcoin among the top 30 tokens to have posted positive gains over the past 24 hours. 

MANTRA’s RWA Ecosystem Fund

MANTRA, a Layer-1 blockchain for asset tokenization, is heavily invested in the RWA market. Since its mainnet launch in 2024, it has carried out major partnerships and planned to tokenize huge volumes of assets.

Today, it announced the launch of a $108,888,888 Ecosystem Fund to propel RWA innovation in its blockchain ecosystem.

“In an era where blockchain technology is revolutionizing finance, the MEF will serve as a catalyst for groundbreaking projects that drive real-world adoption through a focus upon the tokenization of real world assets. We are opening doors for visionary founders and teams to join us in building and creating a thriving ecosystem,” claimed John Patrick Mullin, founder and CEO.

Mullin delivered these comments in an exclusive press release shared with BeInCrypto. MANTRA plans to deploy this fund over the next four years, working with “a strong network of partners and investors” to maximize RWA growth.

The firm also claimed that its new license approvals in Dubai will allow it to facilitate advanced financial services.

MANTRA successfully obtained a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license, which will allow it to act as a crypto exchange and offer broker-dealer, management, and Investment Services. With these tools, the network can direct RWA investment.

Since the RWA Fund announcement, the OM token has actually performed quite well today. Given the wide-scale liquidations across the crypto market due to Trump’s tariff threats, OM has gained over 2% in the past 24 hours.

In fact, MANTRA’s native token is the only cryptocurrency among the top 30 to have any positive gains. It’s also among the top 5 highest gainers in the market today.

Overall, investors seem extremely confident in MATRA’s growth and the network’s continuous development. The project’s latest investment fund reflects its commitment to influencing positive developments in the RWA ecosystem.

Meanwhile, the find will likely encourage more RWA projects to launch or shift to the network, increasing MANTRA’s utility. According to DefiLlama, the network only has $4.2 million in total value locked (TVL).

With this fund, the project’s main goal will be to improve participation and long-term engagement on the blockchain.
