Mantle Launches RWA Tokenization Platform with WLFI's USD1 Stablecoin Integration

Mantle, a blockchain platform supported by cryptocurrency exchange Bybit, is entering the rapidly expanding real-world asset (RWA) sector with a new tokenization service aimed at bridging traditional finance with blockchain technology. The protocol's Tokenization-as-a-Service platform, introduced at the Token2049 event in Singapore, provides comprehensive compliance solutions including licensing, KYC tools, legal structuring, smart contract deployment, security monitoring, and DeFi integrations for price discovery. Concurrently, World Liberty Financial, a blockchain protocol with connections to former U.S. President Donald Trump's family, announced it would deploy its $2 billion USD1 stablecoin on the Mantle network. "RWAs are transitioning from niche to mainstream with a current $26 billion market projected to reach trillions by 2030," stated key Mantle advisor Emily Bao. Mantle is expanding beyond its Ethereum layer-2 roots into a broader crypto ecosystem, integrated with Bybit's trading platform and developing UR, a fintech app connecting crypto with traditional finance. Bybit CEO Ben Zhou emphasized Mantle's central role in building institutional bridges between traditional and decentralized finance. The network's native MNT token surged to a record $2, up 4.5% in 24 hours and 73% over the past month, making it one of crypto's top performers.
