The Mantle network, operating as a Layer 2 solution for Ethereum and connected to the Bybit exchange, is reaching a new level. At the Token2049 conference in Singapore, the team presented a Tokenization-as-a-Service platform that will allow companies to issue tokenized assets under regulatory oversight.
At the same time, it became known that the USD1 stablecoin from World Liberty Financial (WLFI), associated with the Donald Trump family, is being integrated into the Mantle ecosystem.
Infrastructure for major players
The new Mantle service includes a full range of services: licensing, legal support, KYC and AML procedures, smart contracts, security audits, and connection to DeFi protocols. Essentially, it is a ready-made infrastructure for financial institutions wishing to transfer assets to the blockchain without violating regulatory standards.
Mantle advisor Emily Bao noted:
“Tokenization is no longer an experiment. Today its volume is estimated at $26 billion, and by 2030 it could grow to trillions. Institutions are no longer waiting — they are looking for convenient infrastructure, and we are providing it right now.”
The USD1 stablecoin strengthens the ecosystem
WLFI has confirmed the launch of its USD1 token based on Mantle. Its issuance has already exceeded $2 billion. Integration into the Layer 2 ecosystem will expand liquidity and increase the demand for the token.
For Mantle itself, this is a strategic decision: having major stablecoins makes the network more attractive to institutional clients.
Mantle and Bybit: a bridge between TradFi and DeFi
Initially, Mantle was conceived as a scaling solution for Ethereum. But now the network is turning into a full-fledged ecosystem. Partnership with Bybit provides access to a large user base, and new products create a direct link between traditional financial services and the blockchain.
“Mantle has become the core of the Bybit ecosystem. Our goal is to build a bridge from traditional finance to decentralized, where tokenized assets play a key role,” emphasized the Bybit co-founder.
Growing interest reflected in MNT price
The market supported the news. The Mantle (MNT) token hit a new all-time high of $2, showing a 4.5% increase in a day and 73% over the month. This result puts it among the fastest-growing assets. Investors are reacting to new integrations and ecosystem expansion, seeing long-term potential in the project.
Tokenization as the main market driver
The RWA (real-world assets) segment is becoming a key direction in the crypto industry. Today its capitalization is estimated at $26 billion, but analysts predict multiple growth over the next five years. Tokenization of real estate, debt securities, and stocks opens up the possibility for institutions to use blockchain in familiar financial operations, reducing costs and increasing transparency.
Mantle positions itself as a provider of ready-made infrastructure for this trend. Support for USD1 strengthens its position in competition with other Ethereum Layer 2 solutions, including Polygon and Base, which are also actively developing tokenization projects.
What’s next?
If forecasts for RWA market growth come true, Mantle can take a leading position in the “blockchain — traditional finance” bundle. For investors, this is a signal: the project is no longer limited to being an Ethereum scaling tool, but is becoming a universal entry point for institutions preparing for the digital transformation of assets.
