Mantle (MNT) Launches Tokenized Equities Platform, Marking Major RWA Milestone
Mantle launched xStocks on Friday in partnership with cryptocurrency exchange Bybit, DeFi protocol BackedFi, and trading platform Flowdesk, representing one of the first deployments of tokenized stock trading on an Ethereum Layer 2 network.
xStocks Trading Goes Live
xStocks are collateralized tracker certificates compliant with the Swiss DLT Act and are tradable via Fluxion DEX. Initial tickers include TSLAx, NVDAx, AAPLx, METAx, GOOGLx, SPYx, and QQQx.
Execution on Fluxion runs through a hybrid automated market maker and request-for-quote mechanism engineered to reduce on-chain price slippage while producing fills closer to institutional standards, with Bybit managing custody infrastructure to allow users to move xStocks directly between exchange accounts and self-custodied wallets.
24/7 Equity Trading Advantage
Unlike traditional equity markets bound by opening hours and market schedules, xStocks on Mantle enables users to gain exposure to leading global equities any day of the week, responding to market developments as they happen rather than waiting for exchanges to open.
Market Performance and Positioning
The live Mantle price today is $0.677127 USD with a 24-hour trading volume of $35,026,262 USD, with Mantle up 1.67% in the last 24 hours. The current CoinMarketCap ranking is #35, with a live market cap of $2,219,583,316 USD.
Ecosystem Expansion Plans
The xStocks integration on Mantle represents the first phase of a broader roadmap designed to deepen liquidity, improve execution, and reward early participants within the Mantle ecosystem, with subsequent phases together with BackedFi introducing xChange (Atomic RFQ) support and the xPoints loyalty programme.
