MANTRA, a blockchain platform focused on real-world assets (RWA), recently received a significant financial boost from Laser Digital, the digital assets division of renowned Nomura. This strategic investment aims to position MANTRA as the leading Layer-1 blockchain for RWAs in the emerging markets of the Middle East and Asia.
This collaboration promises to strengthen the implementation of RWA tokenization in these regions, combining MANTRA’s innovative expertise with Laser Digital’s vast experience in asset digitization. Laser Digital’s influence in the region is evidenced by its virtual asset broker-dealer and management and investment services licenses, both granted by the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority in 2023, as well as preliminary approval from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of the Abu Dhabi Global Market.
