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. MANTRA’s core positioning is centered on the tokenization of real-world assets, covering infrastructure for bringing such assets into blockchain-based issuance, registration and transfer environments.
The relationship between Inveniam Capital Partners and MANTRA predates the acquisition report. According to the disclosed information, Inveniam invested 20 million dollars in MANTRA before its restructuring in 2025. The planned full acquisition would move the relationship from an existing strategic investment into an ownership-level integration between the two parties.
MANTRA Holds a VASP License Issued by VARA
MANTRA holds a VASP license granted by Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority, known as VARA. The license allows MANTRA to operate a digital asset exchange and provide services including brokerage, proprietary management and investment. For a public chain positioned around RWA asset tokenization, the license information is a central part of the regulatory scope described in the report.
The disclosed timeline points to completion in the third quarter of this year. The input information does not provide a transaction value, closing conditions or post-acquisition management arrangements. Based on the available details, the deal is specifically between MANTRA and Inveniam Capital Partners and remains described as a transaction expected to be completed.
The Two Parties Previously Built NVNM Chain Together
Before the acquisition news, MANTRA and Inveniam Capital Partners had already jointly built NVNM Chain, a Layer2 network. NVNM Chain is positioned for compliant use cases, where it is designed to register identities for autonomous AI agents, set permission limits and record on-chain evidence. The recorded evidence is described as independently verifiable by regulators and counterparties.
The report therefore centers on three disclosed facts: MANTRA’s focus on RWA asset tokenization, its VARA-issued VASP license covering digital asset services, and the prior collaboration between MANTRA and Inveniam on NVNM Chain. If the transaction proceeds according to the stated schedule, it is expected to close in the third quarter of this year.
