Inveniam Invests $20M in MANTRA to Expand Institutional RWA Ecosystem

Inveniam Capital Partners and MANTRA have announced a strategic technology and commercial partnership aimed at developing a global institutional real-world asset (RWA) ecosystem anchored in the United Arab Emirates and the United States. The collaboration includes a $20 million investment from Inveniam into MANTRA, intended to advance the tokenization of private real-world assets and provide institutional-grade data sovereignty and surveillance tools to DeFi and institutional capital allocators [1].

The partnership integrates Inveniam’s data operations management solutions and AI Agent Suite with MANTRA’s regulated Web3 infrastructure to scale RWA solutions for asset owners, clients, and partners. This collaboration is expected to significantly increase Total Value Locked (TVL) and transaction throughput on MANTRA Chain, supporting Inveniam’s vision for the systematic trading of private market assets in an AI-driven, agentic future [1].

According to Patrick O’Meara, Chairman and CEO of Inveniam, the partnership represents an opportunity to invest in and support technologists and long-term builders who are developing the right kind of infrastructure for the future. He emphasized MANTRA’s strong management, regulatory clarity, and institutional focus as key factors in the decision to invest [1]. John Patrick Mullin, CEO and Founder of MANTRA, added that the partnership will help MANTRA achieve a greater position in the global RWA marketplace and serve asset owners and capital allocators with leading decentralized infrastructure [1].

The UAE is highlighted as a strategic hub for this partnership, with Inveniam having established a presence in Abu Dhabi and MANTRA securing a license from Dubai’s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA). MANTRA Finance FZE, MANTRA’s subsidiary, is licensed to operate as a virtual asset exchange and provide broker-dealer and investment services, supporting the full lifecycle of tokenized RWAs from primary issuance to automated secondary market liquidity [1].

The collaboration will leverage institutional frameworks in ADGM, G42’s AI and data capabilities, and Dubai’s crypto liquidity infrastructure to deliver a comprehensive market stack for RWAs. As a multi-VM layer 1 blockchain, MANTRA supports cross-chain interoperability and seamless composability, positioning itself as a leading network for institutional RWA activity. The partnership aims to expand investment pathways and unlock a $300 trillion opportunity in private market infrastructure [1].

Inveniam is focused on providing data operations management and orchestration solutions for private market assets, aiming to bring transparency, access, and trust to asset performance data. MANTRA, on the other hand, is a layer 1 blockchain designed for real-world assets, with native regulatory compliance and permissionless access for developers and institutions. MANTRA holds a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license from Dubai’s VARA, enabling it to operate as a virtual asset exchange and offer investment and management services [1].

This partnership is expected to set a new standard for compliant tokenization by combining MANTRA’s blockchain infrastructure with Inveniam’s AI and data capabilities. Together, the companies aim to unlock institutional access to real-world assets and accelerate the growth of decentralized finance on a global scale [1].
