MANTRA’s Not Dead: $20M Inveniam Deal Marks Post-Crisis Comeback

UAE and U.S. as RWA Launchpads

The MANTRA Inveniam partnership highlights the increasing global focus on regulated RWA infrastructure, with both companies operating under UAE licenses.

Inveniam Mid East Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary, is based in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). MANTRA Finance FZE holds a VARA license in Dubai, covering virtual asset exchange, broker-dealer, and investment services.

Together, they aim to build a compliant end-to-end lifecycle for tokenized RWAs—from primary issuance to automated secondary liquidity—launching from the UAE.

The project will also leverage G42’s AI capabilities, Dubai’s liquidity, and MANTRA’s multi-VM chain design to enable cross-chain interoperability for tokenized assets.

“This foundational step enables trillions of dollars in private assets to operate in digital environments,” said Patrick O’Meara, Chairman and CEO of Inveniam. “We found MANTRA to be a fundamentally excellent chain with great management, regulatory clarity, and the right partners.”

Real-World Asset Tokenization Market Set to Explode

With the RWA market projected to grow from $275 billion today to $18.9 trillion by 2033, the companies are aligning themselves early in what could become a $300 trillion private market opportunity.

The MANTRA Inveniam partnership is designed to deliver AI-powered tools for asset performance, automated compliance, and scalable trading of private market assets—ushering in what both firms see as the next era of institutional decentralized finance.

Rebuilding After the OM Token Crisis

Just four months ago, MANTRA faced intense scrutiny following the collapse of its OM token, exacerbated by inconsistent listings across exchanges and confusion between the ERC-20 and native mainnet versions. Despite this, the company has maintained its regulatory posture and infrastructure roadmap.

This $20M investment is the first public sign of institutional capital backing MANTRA’s post-crisis rebuild, and may serve as validation of its transition from a DeFi-native project into a compliance-first RWA infrastructure provider.

Mullin acknowledged the difficulty of the past months, crediting his team, investors, and family for their support. “This has honestly been the challenge of a lifetime… but we will keep building and doing everything we can for our token holders and community.”
