ChainCatcher reported, citing The Block, that MANTRA, a public chain focused on RWA asset tokenization, will be fully acquired by its strategic investor Inveniam Capital Partners. The transaction is expected to be completed in the third quarter of this year. The disclosure places the acquisition within an existing relationship between the two parties, as Inveniam had already been involved with MANTRA as both an investor and a collaborator.
Inveniam’s prior investment in MANTRA
Inveniam Capital Partners previously invested $20 million in MANTRA before MANTRA’s restructuring in 2025. In the latest report, Inveniam is described as MANTRA’s strategic investor, and the planned transaction is structured as a full acquisition. The stated timeline for completion is the third quarter of this year.
MANTRA’s core focus is RWA asset tokenization. In the context of the report, MANTRA is identified as a public chain built around tokenizing real-world asset-related activities. The acquisition news also highlights MANTRA’s regulatory status and its earlier technical collaboration with Inveniam.
VARA license and NVNM Chain cooperation
MANTRA holds a VASP license issued by Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority, or VARA. According to the information disclosed, the license allows MANTRA to operate a digital asset exchange and provide services including brokerage, proprietary management and investment. These licensed service categories are part of the reported profile of MANTRA in connection with the acquisition.
Before the acquisition report, MANTRA and Inveniam had jointly built NVNM Chain, a Layer 2 network. NVNM Chain is positioned for compliant scenarios involving autonomous AI agents: it is designed to register identities, define permissions, and record on-chain evidence. The recorded evidence is intended to be independently verifiable by regulators and counterparties.
