August was the month Mantle became more than a place for global assets to land.
We built a new home for global capital markets, then brought more of them to Mantle.
Tokenized equities, stablecoins, institutional-grade yield, and more, all part of $800M+ in assets now moving on Mantle, towards a more open, borderless financial system.
Here's everything we shipped:
1) Launched our vision and new home at https://t.co/YJ93dzdZII, evolving from the distribution layer to the open financial network powering borderless access to global capital markets.
2) $GROVE by @grovedotfinance went live on Mantle via @Bybit_Official's deposit and withdrawal support, bringing asset-backed credit onto the open financial network.
3) Initiated our latest DeFi Vault on @Fluxion_network with Grove Finance and @CIAN_protocol, providing millions access to RWA yield with stablecoins on Mantle.
4) Kickstarted Mantle DeFi Vault's incentive program with 5.14M $GROVE, boosting yield up to 10%, alongside a Fluxion Points campaign, co-built with @merkl_xyz.
5) Mantle's public data dashboard integrated on @Blockworks, tracking financials, tokenized assets, and DeFi activity in real time.
6) Total asset value on Mantle crossed $800M, up 54% YTD, per @Blockworks, reflecting the growing breadth of capital moving onchain across six asset classes, from tokenized equities to stablecoins.
7) Mantle crossed $2.2B in inbound @USDT0_to, now a top 7 destination chain.
8) $JMKEx, @xStocksFi's tokenized equity of @jerseymikes, went live on @Fluxion_network days after the largest US consumer IPO of 2026.
9) @Fluxion_network integrated @RWAlpha_AI’s income strategies on Mantle, bringing AI and memory supercycle index funds, yield stacking, and tokenized asset trading and LPing into one place.
10) $MOE by @MerchantMoe_xyz staking APR crossed 11%, offering one of the highest staking yields on Mantle.

22) @birdeye_so introduced a new RWA Dashboard tracking tokenized stocks, equities, and commodities from 25 trusted issuers, all in one place.
An open financial network isn't built by putting assets onchain and calling it a day, but by making markets more connected, accessible and productive once they arrive on Mantle.
That's the work ahead, and there's plenty more to build.
We're just getting warmed up. Onwards.
Over 1 million ETH has now been staked into mETH since launch.
The opportunity around Ethereum is getting bigger as it becomes the settlement and liquidity layer for onchain finance.
mETH Protocol has developed in step with that shift, expanding how staked ETH can be held and used today, from institutional custody and exchange collateral to capital markets.
Ethereum will win.
