Inveniam and MANTRA Partner to Scale Real-World Asset Ecosystem in UAE and US

Abu Dhabi/Dubai/New York, August 5, 2025 – Inveniam Capital Partners and MANTRA have announced a strategic technology and commercial partnership aimed at developing a real-world asset (RWA) ecosystem across the UAE and the United States. As part of the collaboration, Inveniam has invested $20 million in MANTRA to facilitate the tokenization of private real-world assets, enabling institutional-grade access to these assets via decentralized financial (DeFi) markets [1]. This initiative will leverage real-time asset reporting and surveillance to support institutional capital allocators and asset owners [1].

The partnership will integrate Inveniam’s data operations management solutions and AI Agent Suite with MANTRA’s regulated Web3 infrastructure, aiming to scale private RWA solutions across institutional and developer communities [1]. This integration is expected to significantly increase Total Value Locked (TVL) and transaction throughput on MANTRA Chain, supporting Inveniam’s vision of institutional-grade, AI-driven trading of private market assets in a decentralized ecosystem [1].

This collaboration aligns with growing interest in RWAs, which are projected to grow at a 75% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), expanding from $275 billion today to $18.9 trillion by 2033 [1]. Patrick O’Meara, Chairman and CEO of Inveniam, emphasized that the partnership represents an opportunity to support long-term builders and technologists in the RWA space. He noted that MANTRA’s institutional focus, regulatory clarity, and strong management made it an ideal partner for this initiative [1].

John Patrick Mullin, CEO and Founder of MANTRA, added that the partnership will be a key driver for the company’s position in the global RWA marketplace. The collaboration will allow MANTRA to better serve asset owners and capital allocators in the UAE, the United States, and globally, leveraging leading decentralized infrastructure [1].

Strategic advantages in the UAE are central to the partnership. Inveniam has established a presence in Abu Dhabi, with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Inveniam Mid East, Ltd, based in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). MANTRA’s subsidiary, MANTRA Finance FZE, is licensed by Dubai’s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA), supporting a compliant framework for tokenized private market assets [1]. The VARA license includes digital asset exchange, broker-dealer, and investment services, covering the entire lifecycle of tokenized RWAs from primary issuance to automated secondary market liquidity [1].

The joint effort will also leverage ADGM’s institutional framework, G42’s data and AI capabilities, and Dubai’s crypto liquidity infrastructure to build a complete market stack for RWAs in the UAE [1]. MANTRA, as a multi-VM layer 1 blockchain, is purpose-built for RWAs and offers cross-chain interoperability and seamless composability across networks. Its regulatory readiness and technical design position it as a leading platform for institutional RWA activity [1].

The partnership aims to expand investment pathways for the next generation of private market infrastructure, unlocking a $300 trillion opportunity [1]. Inveniam and MANTRA plan to set a new standard for compliant tokenization by combining MANTRA’s blockchain infrastructure with Inveniam’s data and AI capabilities. Their goal is to unlock institutional access to RWAs and accelerate the global growth of decentralized finance [1].

Inveniam provides data operations management and orchestration solutions for private market assets, focusing on transparency, trust, and access to asset performance data. The company is also building the foundation for scalable AI integration and the systematic trading of private market assets [1].

MANTRA is a Layer 1 blockchain designed for real-world assets, offering native support for regulatory compliance. As a permissionless chain, MANTRA enables developers and institutions to participate in the RWA tokenization space through modular technology, compliance-ready features, and cross-chain interoperability [1]. MANTRA is also licensed as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) by Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), allowing it to operate as a virtual asset exchange and offer broker-dealer, management, and investment services [1].
