Inveniam to acquire Mantra after turbulent year marked by OM crash
Inveniam Capital Partners plans to acquire layer-1 blockchain Mantra and related entities, expanding its push into tokenized real-world assets and digital private markets. The deal follows Inveniam’s $20 million strategic investment in Mantra in August 2025. In May, Inveniam also launched NVNM Chain, a layer-2 network built on Mantra to verify assets without exposing confidential data. The acquisition is meant to strengthen infrastructure at the intersection of RWA tokenization and AI, and to help bring digital private markets to institutional users and DeFi markets faster. Mantra has been under heavy pressure this year after layoffs and restructuring, following a severe collapse in its OM token in April that erased more than $5 billion in market value. Mantra’s CEO blamed the drop on forced liquidations by centralized exchanges, not token sales by the team or investors.
