Mantle partners with Bybit and Backed to bring tokenized U.S. equities on-chain through the new xStocks program.
Each xStock token is backed 1:1 by real assets ensuring transparency and easy access to regulated securities.
Mantle expands its RWA strategy as MNT price climbs 7.5 percent and trading volume reaches 155 million.
Mantle, a high-performance Layer-2 network, has joined forces with Bybit and Backed to introduce tokenized U.S. equities on-chain. The initiative marks a major expansion of Mantle’s real-world asset strategy. It brings tokenized versions of top U.S. stocks such as NVDAx, AAPLx, and MSTRx to decentralized markets under the xStocks program.

The collaboration aims to merge traditional finance with blockchain technology. Each xStock token is backed 1:1 by real-world equity, ensuring transparency and legal compliance. This connection allows investors to gain exposure to regulated assets through decentralized systems without using intermediaries.
Bybit’s Role in the Partnership
Bybit’s infrastructure anchors the project by supporting deposits and withdrawals of xStocks on Mantle. This setup links centralized exchange services directly to blockchain networks. It allows smoother liquidity flow and easier user onboarding for tokenized assets. The direct CEX-to-chain bridge helps reduce transaction times and enhances market participation across regions.
Mantle’s Layer-2 blockchain uses Ethereum’s zero-knowledge proof system. It ensures low fees, high security, and faster settlement for every transaction. Its modular architecture also supports scalable integration of real-world assets into decentralized finance applications.
Building a Regulated Tokenized Asset Market
The xStocks tokens are issued in collaboration with regulated custodians. These tokens act as programmable digital assets and financial tools. Developers can integrate them into automated systems to create new financial products. This adds flexibility and functionality to the DeFi ecosystem while maintaining full regulatory oversight.
Mantle’s broader strategy includes creating a complete foundation for tokenized finance. The partnership with Bybit and Backed expands regulated securities’ reach in blockchain form. The ecosystem enables real-world assets to be programmable, verifiable, and composable.
Growth Across Mantle’s Ecosystem
Mantle has been accelerating its push into the real-world asset sector. The network recently integrated Anchorage for institutional custody of $MNT. It also listed the token on Moomoo Exchange for retail access in the United States. These steps extend Mantle’s token economy and improve institutional participation.
Following the announcement, MNT surged 7.5% despite market pressure, reaching $1.31. Its market capitalization climbed to $4.28 billion, while trading volume rose to $155 million.
Mantle also launched Tokenization-as-a-Service to help institutions adopt compliant tokenization models. This service converts traditional assets into digital tokens for regulated use. RWA-focused hackathons and scholarships are underway to support innovation and developer growth.
Although xStocks remain unavailable to U.S. investors, global users can access the assets around the clock through supported platforms.
