- Mantle commits $400M, boosting the tokenized finance sector.
- Mantle Index Four offers institutional crypto access.
- MI4 is the largest tokenized crypto fund to date.
Securitize and Mantle have initiated the Mantle Index Four (MI4) fund with a $400 million investment on April 24, 2025.
MI4’s launch signifies increased institutional confidence in crypto, influenced by Securitize and Mantle’s collaboration, though immediate market impact remains minor.
Securitize, known for its real-world asset tokenization, administers the fund, while Mantle, a Layer 2 ecosystem, integrates DeFi-native yield strategies. The asset allocation includes BTC, ETH, SOL, and stablecoins, reflecting a diverse portfolio strategy.
“The fund aims to capture all capital onchain looking for smart beta with income and is a set-it-and-forget-it solution for institutions without the complexities of direct custody.” – Timothy Chen, Global Head of Strategy, Mantle
The immediate market reaction to MI4’s launch was muted with BTC at $66,900, ETH at $3,250, and SOL at $160, but the fund’s significance suggests a maturing institutional role in crypto markets.
By fostering regulated and composable on-chain access, MI4 paves the way for broader institutional participation. This could lead to long-term growth in the tokenized finance realm, reflecting on historical trends of increased DeFi TVL with such interventions.
The MI4 launch, with its strategic on-chain model and high-profile backing, could potentially reshape crypto finance’s regulatory landscape. Investors might anticipate further technological advancements and increased accessibility based on Mantle and Securitize’s developments.
