Mantle has secured the launch of World Liberty Financial's USD1 stablecoin on its blockchain, with the announcement made at the TOKEN2049 conference by Donald Trump Jr. and WLFI executives Zach Witkoff and Zak Folkman. This partnership signals Mantle's commitment to expanding its institutional offerings by integrating stablecoins into its ecosystem.
Simultaneously, Mantle rolled out a Tokenization-as-a-Service (TaaS) offering designed to help institutions manage the technical and compliance aspects of tokenized assets. The service includes KYC integration, legal frameworks, smart contract deployment, security audits, and compliant interfaces. Mantle is pairing this infrastructure push with developer scholarships and global hackathons focused on building Real World Asset (RWA) applications.
To enhance liquidity and access, Mantle has established channels through Hyperliquid's DEX, Coinbase International Exchange derivatives, and a planned Revolut listing. Emily Bao, a Key Advisor at Mantle, emphasized the growing tokenized asset market, which has expanded 380% over three years and is forecasted to reach trillions by 2030. She stated, "Institutions are racing to bring assets on-chain as the market continues to expand."
The global stablecoin market recently surpassed $300 billion, with competition intensifying as yield-bearing options like USDe challenge incumbents Tether and Circle. Regulatory shifts, such as the GENIUS Act in the U.S., are enabling traditional banks like JP Morgan and Citigroup to explore stablecoin issuance. Ben Zhou, CEO of Bybit, which operates Mantle, described the platform as "a full-stack institutional bridge from TradFi to DeFi," positioning it directly against established players.
