RWA

RWA (Real World Assets) refers to the tokenization of tangible assets—such as real estate, private credit, and government bonds—on the blockchain. By bringing traditional financial instruments on-chain, RWA protocols like Ondo and Centrifuge provide DeFi users with stable, real-yield opportunities. In 2026, the RWA sector is a multi-trillion-dollar bridge between TradFi and DeFi, enabling fractional ownership and global liquidity for previously illiquid assets.

Mantra announced an OM token buyback, along with an upcoming EVM network in September

Mantra announced an OM token buyback, along with an upcoming EVM network in September

The post Mantra announced an OM token buyback, along with an upcoming EVM network in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Mantra Chain announced ambitious plans to make a comeback, starting with a $25M OM token buyback. The network also plans an EVM network, as well as RWA tokenization plans.  Mantra Chain aims to make a comeback, rebuilding its reputation following the crash in April. As Cryptopolitan reported, OM lost most of its value following erratic, low-liquidity trading on centralized exchanges.  One of the first tasks for Mantra’s comeback is an OM token buyback program, setting aside $25M for acquisitions.  Today we are announcing the first $25M $OM token buyback, backed by key investors and stakeholders.Together with @InveniamIO's recent $20M investment, total commitments now reach $45M – reinforcing strong institutional confidence in OM’s long-term value, MANTRA’s wider #RWA… pic.twitter.com/3WtRd36YqZ — MANTRA | Tokenizing RWAs (@MANTRA_Chain) August 27, 2025 In total, the buybacks will include $25M from the Mantra team, as well as $20M commitment from Inveniam, expanding the entire injection into OM to $45M. Inveniam’s commitment is financial, in addition to picking a validator role to secure the Mantra network.  The buybacks will be fully transparent and happening on-chain, with the goal of boosting the confidence of the Mantra community.  OM remains volatile, still trading around $0.23, with 2.4% daily gains. Previously, OM was one of the top RWA tokens, driving the entire narrative. The project is still carrying the effect of skepticism, blaming the team for a rug pull or deliberate selling.  OM recovered slightly, though the token is still depressed after April’s crash, down over 78% net for the past year. | Source: Coingecko However, just four months after the crash, the Mantra team is showing its dedication with multiple upgrades and a future roadmap. Mantra to sunset ERC-20 OM tokens Mantra aims to position itself with a new chain, starting the process of swapping and sunsetting the ERC-20…

Stablecoins can — and will — go mainstream

Stablecoins can — and will — go mainstream

The post Stablecoins can — and will — go mainstream appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Disclosure: The views and opinions expressed here belong solely to the author and do not represent the views and opinions of crypto.news’ editorial. With the signing of the GENIUS Act, it feels all but inevitable that crypto adoption will increase, with stablecoins leading the way in this change. Being pegged to traditional assets provides a degree of reassurance to users — especially those unfamiliar with the world of web3. However, there are still elements that need increased attention. Summary Mainstream momentum — Crypto ownership is up 33% and regulation is shifting positively, setting the stage for stablecoins to enter global financial markets. Beyond code to trust — Smart contracts have often been security liabilities; mainstream adoption needs protocol-level compliance and adaptable token standards (“Smartcoins”). Privacy-driven compliance — Zero-knowledge proofs can verify identities or attributes (e.g., age for alcohol purchases) without exposing personal data, balancing regulation with user privacy. Path forward — Versatile, secure, and privacy-protecting stablecoins with built-in compliance could overcome current adoption barriers and become everyday financial tools. A bright road ahead?  For over a decade, the dream of digital assets has been to see mainstream adoption in our daily lives. Naturally, there have been barriers to overcome to enable this mainstream adoption. Legislation has been one, as has increasing engagement from non-web3 users. Fortunately, both of these factors are seeing a positive change. Legislation indicates positive signs towards the future adoption of these assets. Additionally, with a 33% increase in crypto ownership, the wider market is taking note of the asset. When put together, this paints a very positive picture about the future of assets like stablecoins. But not every movement in stablecoins has seen a positive outcome. The 2022 collapse of TerraUSD (UST) showed systemic vulnerabilities in stablecoin design. Issues such as a lack of transparent, auditable…

MANTRA Announces Additional $25,000,000 Minimum Funding Commitment for First of Strategic OM Token Buybacks

MANTRA Announces Additional $25,000,000 Minimum Funding Commitment for First of Strategic OM Token Buybacks

BitcoinWorld MANTRA Announces Additional $25,000,000 Minimum Funding Commitment for First of Strategic OM Token Buybacks Backed by key investors and stakeholders the buyback will be executed transparently over several months across publicly traded centralized exchange venues Including Inveniam’s $20,000,000 investment, total commitments now reach $45,000,000, reinforcing institutional confidence in OM and MANTRA’s RWA ecosystem ZUG, Switzerland, Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MANTRA, a layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for tokenized real world assets (RWAs), today announces the first tranche of its buyback of OM tokens, supported and funded by a group of its key investors and stakeholders, via a $25,000,000 (minimum) commitment. This first buyback follows Inveniam’s recent $20 million investment in MANTRA to advance institutional market infrastructure, and increase private real world asset participation and adoption. Combined, these two announcements reflect a minimum $45 million commitment. The strategic buyback reflects the key partners’ continued belief and confidence in MANTRA’s ecosystem, as well as the long-term value and sustainability of the OM token. Today’s announcement confirms MANTRA CEO and Founder, John Patrick Mullin’s statement in April 2025 that a strategic token buyback was planned and would occur. From 27 August, 2025, MANTRA AG, MANTRA Chain Association’s wholly owned subsidiary, will execute the buyback transparently over several months until all the proceeds have been fully deployed. Recurring buy orders at, or near, current market prices, will be placed by well regarded independent trading firms, across publicly traded centralized exchange venues. Upon completion of each tranche, all purchased OM tokens will be withdrawn from exchanges as ERC20 tokens, migrated to MANTRA Chain mainnet, and staked with MANTRA’s validator set. Periodic progress updates will be provided via MANTRA’s X account, as the buybacks are executed and completed. The wallets storing the repurchased and staked OM will be published via the OM token dashboard. “This buyback program is a pivotal moment for MANTRA. It is not merely a financial transaction but a signal of confidence from our existing partners and key stakeholders. Through the repurchasing of OM on the open market, we reinforce our belief in the long-term utility of the token, support our vision for the ecosystem and return value to token holders,” John Patrick Mullin, CEO and Founder of MANTRA said. At current prices, the total value of the repurchasing program corresponds to roughly 110 million OM. This would account for roughly 10% of OM’s circulating supply. About MANTRA MANTRA  is a purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain for real-world assets, capable of adherence to real-world regulatory requirements. As a permissionless chain, MANTRA Chain empowers developers and institutions to seamlessly participate in the evolving RWA tokenization space by offering advanced technology modules, compliance mechanisms, and cross-chain interoperability. MANTRA holds a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), to operate as a Virtual Asset Exchange, as well as provide Broker-Dealer and Management and Investment Services.

Defense & Specialized AI: Applying AI to critical national security and highly specialized technical domains (e.g., Shield AI, Harmonic, LMArena). This broad spectrum of applications underscores AI’s potential to drive efficiency, foster innovation, and solve complex problems across the economy. What’s Next for US AI Innovation? Challenges and Opportunities The current pace of investment sets a formidable stage for future US AI Innovation. This influx of capital will undoubtedly accelerate research and development, attract top talent, and intensify competition, leading to rapid advancements. However, such explosive growth also brings its own set of challenges.

The sustainability of current valuations and the intense battle for skilled AI engineers are also critical factors. Yet, the opportunities far outweigh the challenges. AI is poised to drive unprecedented economic growth, create entirely new industries, and provide solutions to some of humanity’s most pressing issues, from healthcare to climate change. The continuous funding in US AI startups positions the nation at the forefront of this technological revolution. In conclusion, 2025 has cemented its place as a landmark year for AI investment in the United States. The sheer volume of mega-rounds, the diversity of funded sectors, and the robust participation of leading venture capital firms paint a picture of an industry in hyper-growth.
