- MANTRA has secured a $20 million investment from Inveniam Capital Partners to scale compliant RWA solutions globally.
- This partnership integrates Inveniam’s AI-powered data infrastructure with MANTRA’s regulated blockchain to unlock institutional-grade private market assets for DeFi and institutional allocators.
Layer 1 blockchain MANTRA and decentralized data infrastructure provider Inveniam Capital Partners have announced a $20 million strategic technology and commercial partnership. The collaboration seeks to bridge institutional-grade assets with DeFi markets by embedding real-time asset reporting and surveillance directly into tokenized instruments.
$20M Investment to Fuel RWA Market Integration
Under the partnership, Inveniam will invest $20 million into MANTRA to scale the delivery of private RWAs within regulated, data-rich frameworks.
The initiative targets institutional capital allocators by offering transparent, auditable, and agent-driven smart financial instruments, addressing long-standing gaps in private market liquidity and transparency.
This collaboration will integrate Inveniam’s proprietary data operations management suite and AI Agent Suite with MANTRA’s Layer 1 blockchain, purpose-built for RWA tokenization. The goal is to enhance Total Value Locked (TVL) and transaction throughput on the MANTRA Chain while enabling scalable, decentralized private asset markets.
Patrick O’Meara, Chairman and CEO of Inveniam, mentioned the importance of backing credible builders in the blockchain space. “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,” O’Meara said.
“This partnership provides MANTRA with the capital and throughput needed to scale its ecosystem and develop its position as a leading Layer 1 blockchain for RWAs,” he added.
A Strategic RWA Hub in the UAE
The UAE’s proactive regulatory environment and infrastructure play a pivotal role in this partnership. MANTRA’s subsidiary, MANTRA Finance FZE, holds licenses from Dubai’s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) covering digital asset exchange, broker-dealer, and investment services. This regulatory clearance enables MANTRA to support the entire lifecycle of tokenized private assets, from issuance to automated secondary market liquidity.
Inveniam, on the other hand, has expanded its presence in the region through its subsidiary, Inveniam Mid East, Ltd, headquartered at the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). The firm’s longstanding partnership with the UAE includes G42, the AI and data powerhouse, which became a strategic investor in Inveniam in 2024.
Together, the companies will leverage ADGM’s institutional frameworks, G42’s AI capabilities, and Dubai’s liquidity infrastructure to create a comprehensive market stack for RWAs, positioning the UAE as a global hub for compliant tokenized private assets.
Scaling Institutional Access to RWAs with Blockchain and AI
“We are incredibly excited about our partnership with Inveniam and believe it will be a key driver in moving MANTRA to a significantly greater position in the global RWA marketplace,” John Patrick Mullin, CEO and Founder of MANTRA stated.
“Inveniam’s investment and collaboration will allow us to better serve asset owners and capital allocators not just in the UAE, but in the United States and globally with leading decentralized infrastructure,” John added.
Inveniam’s data and AI solutions, combined with MANTRA’s multi-VM Layer 1 blockchain—engineered for cross-chain interoperability—will provide a scalable, composable infrastructure for institutional-grade RWAs. The initiative aims to capitalize on the growing demand for tokenized private market assets, which are projected to expand from $275 billion today to $18.9 trillion by 2033, growing at a 75% CAGR.
“This foundational step enables trillions of dollars in private assets to operate in digital environments, thereby ushering in a new generation of products for global allocators, builders, and hyper-scalers,” O’Meara noted.
The collaboration signifies a shift towards a compliant and scalable tokenization framework, integrating regulatory clarity, transparent data infrastructures, and advanced AI-driven monitoring. By uniting MANTRA’s blockchain capabilities with Inveniam’s decentralized data operations, the partnership aims to unlock new pathways for institutional capital to access and trade private market assets via decentralized finance platforms.
With this alliance, MANTRA and Inveniam aim to build the foundational infrastructure to tap into a $300 trillion private market opportunity.
