Mantle announced that World Liberty Financial's USD1 stablecoin will deploy on its blockchain, with Donald Trump Jr. and WLFI executives Zach Witkoff and Zak Folkman making the announcement at TOKEN2049.
The blockchain simultaneously rolled out a Tokenization-as-a-Service offering that handles the technical and compliance requirements for institutions looking to issue tokenized assets. The platform covers KYC integration, legal frameworks, smart contract deployment, security audits, and compliant interfaces.
Mantle is pairing the infrastructure push with global hackathons and developer scholarships focused on building RWA applications. The blockchain has also arranged liquidity channels through Hyperliquid's DEX, Coinbase International Exchange derivatives, and a planned Revolut listing.
"With a $26 billion market today and trillions forecasted by 2030, institutions are racing to bring assets on-chain," said Emily Bao, Key Advisor at Mantle, speaking at the Milken Asia Summit.
The tokenized asset market has grown 380% over three years according to RWA.xyz, driving competition among blockchains to capture issuance volume. Mantle's play combines institutional-grade compliance tools with the political cachet of the Trump-affiliated project.
Ben Zhou, CEO of Bybit, which operates Mantle as part of its ecosystem, called it "a full-stack institutional bridge from TradFi to DeFi."
