Inveniam Invests $20M in MANTRA to Expand Tokenized RWA Ecosystem in UAE and US

Inveniam Capital Partners and MANTRA have announced a strategic partnership to develop a real-world asset (RWA) ecosystem across the UAE and the United States. The collaboration includes a $20 million investment from Inveniam in MANTRA, aimed at expanding institutional-grade private market assets through tokenization and real-time surveillance for decentralized finance (DeFi) and institutional investors [1].

The partnership integrates Inveniam’s data operations management and AI Agent Suite with MANTRA’s regulated Web3 infrastructure to scale RWA solutions for asset owners, clients, and partners. This integration is expected to significantly boost Total Value Locked (TVL) and transaction throughput on the MANTRA Chain [1].

The agreement aligns with Inveniam’s vision for systematic trading of private market assets in an AI-driven financial future. The partnership also underscores the growing convergence of AI, tokenization, and blockchain-based financial infrastructure. With RWAs projected to grow at a 75% CAGR, expanding from $275 billion today to $18.9 trillion by 2033, the collaboration aims to capitalize on this emerging market [1].

Patrick O'Meara, Chairman and CEO of Inveniam, highlighted MANTRA’s strong institutional focus, regulatory clarity, and technical excellence. He emphasized the opportunity to invest in and support long-term builders and crypto-native operators, enabling the scaling of MANTRA’s ecosystem and its position as a leading layer 1 blockchain for RWAs [1].

John Patrick Mullin, CEO and Founder of MANTRA, stated that the partnership would allow the company to better serve asset owners and capital allocators in the UAE, the U.S., and globally. Together, Inveniam and MANTRA aim to accelerate the development of a trusted, composable, and scalable tokenized market for RWAs, delivering tangible value to investors and developers [1].

The UAE is playing a pivotal role in this initiative. Inveniam has a corporate presence in Abu Dhabi, with offices in Al Khatem Tower and a wholly-owned subsidiary, Inveniam Mid East, Ltd, registered in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). Meanwhile, MANTRA’s subsidiary, MANTRA Finance FZE, is licensed by Dubai’s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA), enabling end-to-end lifecycle support for tokenized RWAs [1].

The joint effort will leverage institutional frameworks in ADGM, G42’s data and AI capabilities, and Dubai’s crypto liquidity infrastructure to build a comprehensive RWA market stack in the UAE. MANTRA’s design as a multi-VM layer 1 blockchain positions it as a leading network for institutional RWA activity due to its cross-chain interoperability and regulatory readiness [1].

The partnership is expected to expand investment pathways for the next generation of private market infrastructure, unlocking a $300 trillion opportunity. By combining MANTRA’s blockchain infrastructure with Inveniam’s data and AI capabilities, the collaboration sets a new standard for compliant tokenization and aims to unlock institutional access to RWAs globally [1].

Inveniam is a data operations management and orchestration solution for private market assets, focused on delivering transparency, trust, and access to asset performance data. MANTRA, a layer 1 blockchain built specifically for RWAs, supports regulatory compliance and provides a permissionless environment for developers and institutions to participate in the tokenization space [1].
