Moreover, MANTRA is integrated into some of the world’s leading exchanges, including Binance, Bybit, and Kraken, underscoring its position in the crypto space.
Today, June 16, 2026, Inveniam Capital Partners announced its plans to acquire MANTRA and all its affiliated entities. The deal is expected to close by June 30th, 2026. It will see the companies join forces, becoming a united powerhouse with a shared vision for the future of AI and RWAs
Inveniam, MANTRA, and NVNM Chain
While the acquisition represents a new depth to the two companies’ collaboration, it’s not the first time they’ve worked together.
Inveniam made a strategic $20 million investment in MANTRA during August 2025, leading to the creation of NVNM Chain, an innovative layer-2 blockchain focused on enhancing AI agent accountability.
The project acts as an infrastructure layer between AI and RWA tokenization. NVNM Chain provides a secure source of truth for asset provenance without bringing sensitive data on-chain, making it highly useful in a world where accountability is increasingly in focus.
The project was released as a closed beta in May 2026, where institutions, issuers, and oracle validators can apply for access. It’s already in demand, and with NVNM Chain’s open beta scheduled next, developers from around the world will soon have access to test and build, with early participants recognized as ecosystem founders.
The NVNM Chain’s genesis block was minted on May 13, 2026, proving that the two companies could successfully integrate and operate at scale. As such, MANTRA was a natural acquisition target for Iventiam.
Speaking on the investment and subsequent acquisition, Patrick O’Meara, Chairman & CEO of Inveniam Capital Partners, said:
“We initially invested in MANTRA because we believed regulated blockchain infrastructure and AI-ready private market data belonged on the same stack. NVNM Chain, the Layer 2 we built together, adds to this proposition. This acquisition positions us to be value additive to the global private markets ecosystem faster. This is what will allow our global ecosystem to deliver digital private markets to market operators, asset owners, and institutional private markets investors alongside global DeFi markets.”
How Does the Acquisition Impact Mantra?
It’s natural to wonder how the deal could impact MANTRA’s operations. However, Inveniam is committed to ensuring that MANTRA retains its independence. The MANTRA brand will remain a key focus of the combined entity, and the MANTRA team will continue operating, just under Inveniam’s ownership.
MANTRA’s product ecosystem, including MANTRA Chain, the $MANTRA gas token, MANTRA Finance, and the mantraUSD stablecoin, will remain core infrastructure pillars powering the combined Inveniam-Mantra entity.
MANTRA’s CEO, John Patrick Mullin, shared excitement about joining forces with Inveniam:
“Inveniam and MANTRA have been building toward this since Inveniam’s strategic investment last August. When you share the same conviction about where real world assets and AI are heading, and you’ve already proven you can build together, the question is, why keep the organizational boundary? We decided not to.” – John Patrick Mullin, CEO, MANTRA.
Looking Forward
While the acquisition still needs to be finalized, the transaction is expected to close soon, so we could see the release of the first jointly developed products relatively soon.
Until the acquisition has had time to mature, it’s a waiting game to see whether the deal will close and what project the two companies will direct their combined expertise to first. That said, things are looking positive following the launch of NVNM Chain, so it’s worth keeping an eye on Inveniam and MANTRA, particularly if you’re a developer or institutional representative.
