Layer-1 blockchain MANTRA and United Arab Emirates-based tokenization platform Libre Capital aim to drive further adoption of tokenized real-world assets

On Nov. 4, MANTRA (OM) and Libre Capital announced a partnership leveraging their combined strengths to offer on-chain funds to MANTRA’s institutional or accredited users.

MANTRA stated that the collaboration would use its purpose-built RWA blockchain along with Libre’s tokenization and issuance capabilities. Together, they aim to provide on-chain access to investment opportunities in hedge funds, money market funds, and private credit funds.

According to details in the announcement, a new integration is what will help eligible institutional investors access the on-chain funds on MANTRA. This will be via Libre’s decentralized applications deployment dubbed “Libre Gateway DeFi dApps”.

Libre deploys this feature on integrated chains, allowing access to top-tier tokenized money market funds and others in a compliant way.

John Patrick Mullin, co-founder and chief executive officer of MANTRA said:

“With the addition of protocols like the Libre Gateway, MANTRA can better equip users with a best-in-class collection of tools to continue to grow the real-world asset economy.”

MANTRA Chain’s integration of Libre Gateway allows various benefits for the L1 platform’s users, including access to treasury management tools. Libre on the other hand will explore the RWA-specific infrastructure that the layer-1 blockchain network offers, Dr. Avtar Sehra, founder and chief executive officer of Libre, noted.

MANTRA Chain launched its mainnet in October and recently partnered with Google Cloud, which is a validator and infrastructure provider. One of the goals of the partnership is to bolster MANTRA’s real-world assets market via an accelerator program.

The RWA accelerator program will go live in the first quarter of next year.
