Mantles Market Capitalization Soars to $7.5 Billion Following Strategic Initiatives Translation: Mantles Market Capitalization Soars to $7.5 Billion Following Strategic Initiatives

The market capitalization of the MNT token has surpassed $7.5 billion. Over the course of a month, the asset has doubled in value due to the announcement of programs aimed at the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) and a partnership with the Bybit exchange.

*“From a fundamental perspective, we are observing significant progress within the Mantle ecosystem — an increase in Total Value Locked (TVL) in DeFi protocols, a rapid rise in stablecoin supply, and proactive treasury management that strengthens on-chain liquidity,” noted Margarita Kadotchnikova, the head of marketing for Mantle in the CIS.*

She added that the integration with Bybit has attracted new participants and created speculative momentum. However, real adoption metrics indicate that the growth is supported by fundamental factors.

At the beginning of October, Mantle **launched** three initiatives for the tokenization segment:

Additionally, the first major RWA issuer has joined the ecosystem — the DeFi project World Liberty Financial (WLFI) associated with the Trump family, which is offering the USD1 stablecoin. According to the team, these initiatives are aimed at expanding institutional use of the network.

A representative from Mantle emphasized that the Tokenization-as-a-Service initiative, which includes attracting USD1 and focusing on compliance, KYC, and auditing frameworks, provides the essential infrastructure that the industry requires.

*“We are united in our effort to build a bridge between traditional finance and on-chain markets,” asserts Kadotchnikova.*

Mantle developers announced their transition to OP Succinct. The project has become the first L2 on the OP Stack, launched as a ZK Validity Rollup, and the largest ZK rollup in terms of locked assets.

On October 11, the third season of the Booster program **will commence**, allowing users to unlock and withdraw positions from staking.

On August 29, Mantle and Bybit **introduced** a new roadmap for their strategic partnership, which outlines the phased integration of MNT into the exchange’s products.

Kadotchnikova shared the integration plans:

*“We aim to broaden access for retail users and institutional investors, as well as provide seamless interaction between trading products, wallets, and staking. We are also actively collaborating with the Bybit team to develop the infrastructure and regulatory mechanisms that will enable tokenized assets and DeFi products from the Mantle ecosystem to easily integrate with Bybit in the future.”*

She added that the L2 solutions market is highly competitive, with Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base having built impressive ecosystems. Nonetheless, Mantle distinguishes itself through its focus and structure:

*“Mantle brings together a powerful treasury, a well-thought-out strategy regarding real assets, an open ecosystem for developers, and close integration with Bybit. This combination will allow the project to attract users more efficiently, ensure accessible liquidity, and offer real-world applications for products.”*

In August, Mantle **attracted** Bybit’s co-chair Helen Liu and head of spot trading Emily Bao to its advisory board. Both parties stated intentions to expand the use of MNT in trading, payments, and savings within the exchange’s ecosystem.

As a reminder, at the beginning of September, Bybit **launched** promotional campaigns for MNT holders with a prize pool exceeding $200,000.
