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 mantle.xyz, 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. Other Ecosystem Updates: 11) Over 1 million ETH has now been staked into @mETHProtocol since launch. 12) @xStocksFi now supports 700+ tokenized assets onchain and crossed $750M in total tokenized AUM. 13) @OpenstockInc settled its first onchain IPO vault after the $9.3M Zhongji Innolight deployment. 14) @LayerZero_Core launched ATLAS, a headless exchange built on Zero to power the next generation of global markets. 15) @maplefinance completed its first $SYRUP buyback under the new rules-based framework. 16) @USDT0_to hit over 1,000,000 transactions, with $106B+ moved through $USDT0. 17) @aave V4 crossed $800M in deposits. 18) @TreehouseFi's TIP 14 is live for voting, proposing to expand the $tETH strategy to @Compound_xyz V3. 19) @grovedotfinance introduced the Seeds Program for active GROVE holders to participate in governance. 20) @3janexyz's USD3 holders accrued $1.2M+ in yield as TVL grew from $20.6M to $75M. 21) @chainlink's $LINK listed on Charles Schwab, the largest U.S. Brokerage, via Schwab Crypto. 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.
