$OM ~MANTRA successfully obtained the FIRST DeFi license from VARA 🇦🇪
The DeFi landscape has been wild—boom, bust, innovation, regulation struggles. But the next phase isn’t about hype; it’s about adoption, and MANTRA seems to be playing the long game.
VARA’s regulatory framework is one of the most respected in the space.
Most projects focus on "decentralization at all costs," but that narrative is shifting. If DeFi wants real institutional money, it needs regulatory clarity. That’s why MANTRA’s move stands out.
The timing is also interesting. BlackRock, JPMorgan, and other financial giants are actively exploring tokenized RWAs. The market is clearly headed in this direction, and MANTRA is already setting up the necessary infrastructure.
This makes me wonder—are we seeing the early days of "compliant DeFi"? Projects that embrace regulations could attract institutional capital while still maintaining DeFi’s core principles.
It’s easy to dismiss regulation as a barrier, but if the goal is mainstream adoption, it’s a necessary step. MANTRA securing this license before most DeFi projects even consider compliance could be a huge advantage in the long run.
The fundamentals are VERY STRONG for MANTRA now, research more and share your views with me under the comment section.
