Big Players Have Invested Into The Mantra ‘MEF’ Fund
Mantra, a L1 blockchain built specifically for tokenized RWAs, has launched its ‘MEF’ fund to accelerate the growth and adoption of projects and startups building on its network, per its official announcement from today (April 7) on X.
The press release from Mantra states that it will deploy the capital over the next four years among “high-potential blockchain projects” worldwide, with investment opportunities sourced through Mantra’s network of partners.
Backing the fund are some of the biggest institutional partners around, including; Laser Digital, Shorooq, Brevan Howard Digital, Valor Capital, Three Point Capital and Amber Group, amongst others.
The launch of the Mantra Ecosystem Fund comes a month after the L1 became the first DeFi/RWA platform to obtain a virtual asset service provider (VASP) license under Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA).
Per CoinGecko, Mantra’s native token, OM, is currently trading at $6.1 with a market cap of $5.9 billion, making it the 22nd largest cryptocurrency by market cap.

Tokenized RWA Gem No.1 – Landshare (LAND)
Landshare (LAND) gives its holders the opportunity for real estate investment via its user-friendly platform built on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) chain.
This platform removes the stress and heavy financial requirements (such as large down payments), that typically come with real estate investment. With the Landshare ecosystem, users have a plethora of opportunities to gain real estate exposure with RWA assets.
Through Landshare, investors can stake stablecoins to earn a share of rental income and property value appreciation and participate in crowd-funded property flips.
Notably, the Landshare platform is led by its well-developed NFT ecosystem. All NFTs minted on Landshare represent fractional ownership of real estate assets.
Holders can upgrade and repair their virtual properties using NFTs, this innovation adds a gamified layer to the experience, a reason why many are now choosing to invest in LAND.
Landshare represents a true micro cap gem, as its market cap stands at a tiny $3.1 million. With its teams vast experience, being nearly four years old at this point, this level of blue chip project could potentially be one that Mantra’s RWA ecosystem fund will have a close eye on.
LAND is currently trading at $0.55 and is down 9% on the day, which is impressive when considering that multi-billion dollar ETH is down nearly 20% in the same timeframe.

Tokenized RWA Gem No.2 – Clearpool Finance (CPOOL)
Clearpool Finance (CPOOL) is a leading hybrid DeFi/RWA crypto platform with over $67 million in Total-Value Locked (TVL) to its name. It also acts as a decentralized credit marketplace and to-date has issued more than $770 million in loans, per its website dashboard.
The Clearpool platform offers its user access to multiple products. These include staking pools, credit vaults, institutional DeFi pools, and treasury pools.
Just recently, via its Clearpool Prime product which acts as a KYC & AML compliant network for wholesale borrowing and lending of digital assets, Euronext-listed global trading firm FlowTraders successfully secured a $10 million USDC loan.
This marked a huge milestone for the platform with such a huge player using its platform for a 10-figure stablecoin loan.
However, Clearpool has been affected along with the rest of the market and as a result, is currently trading at just over $0.1. Per CoinGecko, it is down nearly 20% in the past month and 5% alone in the past 24 hours.
With a tokenized RWA project that continues to build and thrive regardless of the wider market conditions, this dip for CPOOL looks like a great point for a cheap entry before the market reversal comes.
