Inveniam Capital Partners, a global leader in decentralized data infrastructure for private market assets, has announced a strategic partnership with MANTRA, a Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for tokenized real world assets (RWAs).
The deal includes a $20 million investment in MANTRA, aimed at creating institutional-grade private market RWAs with real-time asset reporting, surveillance, and seamless integration into the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
A Leap Toward Institutional-Grade Tokenization
Patrick O’Meara, Chairman and CEO of Inveniam, praised MANTRA’s regulatory clarity and institutional focus, calling it “a foundational step that enables trillions of private assets to thrive in digital environments.”
John Patrick Mullin, CEO and Founder of MANTRA, emphasized the partnership’s mission to accelerate a scalable and trusted tokenized RWA market, beginning in the UAE and expanding to global investors.
Why the UAE Is the Launchpad
The UAE has quickly emerged as a global hub for RWA innovation, offering regulatory clarity and advanced financial infrastructure. This partnership builds on two critical foundations:
- ✅ Strategic Backing – In 2024, UAE-based tech giant G42 became a strategic investor in Inveniam, strengthening its foothold in Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM).
- ✅ Regulatory Strength – MANTRA Finance FZE, a subsidiary of MANTRA, is licensed by Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). This helps in ensuring compliant and secure tokenized asset offerings.
Building a Complete Market Infrastructure
The collaboration aims to merge best-in-class technology, regulation, and market access into a fully integrated ecosystem for tokenized private assets:
- ✅ Institutional Framework – Leveraging ADGM’s established rules for global financial institutions.
- ✅ AI Capabilities – Powered by G42’s advanced artificial intelligence to enhance market analytics and reporting.
- ✅ Liquidity Access – Supported by Dubai’s growing crypto trading infrastructure.
- ✅ Cross-Chain Interoperability – MANTRA, as the first multi-VM Layer 1 blockchain for RWAs, ensures seamless interaction between blockchain networks.
This combination creates a full-stack RWA market solution—from asset origination and regulatory compliance to trading and settlement.
Unlocking a $300 Trillion Opportunity
Private markets represent a $300 trillion global asset class, but they have historically been illiquid and opaque. Tokenization changes that by enabling:
- ✅ Fractional Ownership – Lowering the barrier to entry for investors worldwide.
- ✅ Real-Time Reporting – Giving investors transparent, data-rich insights into asset performance.
- ✅ Global Market Reach – Allowing assets originated in the UAE or U.S. to be traded across borders efficiently.
By combining Inveniam’s decentralized data infrastructure with MANTRA’s blockchain innovation, this partnership sets a new global standard for compliant, scalable, and liquid tokenized RWAs.
