MANTRA has raised $20 million from U.S.-based data platform Inveniam to scale its real-world asset (RWA) blockchain across the UAE and the U.S., as its native OM token begins to recover from a steep 90%+ drop in April.
The strategic partnership marks a major step for MANTRA, a purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain focused on RWAs, with Inveniam’s investment aimed at accelerating the platform’s growth and adoption in both regions.
“We have been in discussions with MANTRA for some time. As we watched third party bad actors prey upon excellent builders and founders, we leaned in. In our diligence, we have found MANTRA to be a fundamentally excellent chain with great management, regulatory clarity, institutional focus, and the right partners,”
The partnership will integrate MANTRA’s regulated blockchain infrastructure with Inveniam’s AI-powered data tools for collecting, managing, and analyzing private market data. This synergy will enable real-world assets—such as real estate and private equity—to be tokenized and traded within DeFi ecosystems, supported by real-time data reporting and monitoring.
A major focus of the initiative lies in the UAE, where MANTRA’s Dubai-based subsidiary holds full licensing to offer digital asset services. Inveniam, with offices in Abu Dhabi, will also leverage the region’s supportive regulatory environment and digital infrastructure. The partnership will tap into AI capabilities from UAE-based tech leader G42 to enhance data operations and scalability.
Together, the companies aim to build a comprehensive, end-to-end market infrastructure for tokenized real-world assets—targeting a share of a market forecast to reach $18.9 trillion by 2033.
The collaboration is also expected to help revive MANTRA Chain’s total value locked (TVL), which has dropped significantly in recent months. According to DeFiLlama, TVL on the platform plummeted from over $4 million in April to below $500,000 as of August, reflecting declining user engagement and capital outflows—a trend the Inveniam deal seeks to reverse.
OM price recovery signals following April 90% collapse
MANTRA’s native token, OM, is showing signs of recovery following its dramatic crash on April 13, when the price plunged from over $6 to below $0.50—erasing more than $5 billion in market capitalization.
While OM remains far below its previous highs, technical indicators point to a potential trend reversal. On July 20, the token surged 52% in a single day, reaching an intraday high of $0.40 before retracing to around $0.28. This rally triggered a bullish crossover between the 20-day EMA and the 50-day SMA—a signal that remains in place.
OM is currently trading above both moving averages and appears to be gearing up for another test of the $0.40 resistance level. The daily chart also shows a consistent pattern of higher lows throughout July, reinforcing the short-term uptrend.
