Securitize, a well-known digital asset securities platform that enables investors to invest in digital asset securities, has announced its latest collaboration with Mantle, a leading player in the on-chain finance. The collaboration aims to launch Mantle Index Four (MI4) as a landmark institutional-scale vehicle for crypto investments. The platform revealed this joint initiative in a recent X thread.
Securitize Offering Institutional Crypto Investment Services
According to Securitize, the launch of MI4 in collaboration with Mantle comes with Mantle Treasury’s resilient $400M anchor investment. This highlights a robust institutional confidence and drives the fund to become a crucial benchmark in the portfolios containing digital assets.
The fund offers diversified USD-pegged stablecoins, Solana ($SOL), Ethereum ($ETH), and Bitcoin ($BTC). In addition to this, MI4 integrates yield-generating strategies used in the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector. They take into account Ethena Labs’ $USDe, Bybit’s $bbSOL, and Mantle’s $mETH.
With these features, institutional investors can leverage the DeFi yields without any immediate custody risks. Timoth Chen, Mantle’s Global Head of Strategy, also commented on MI4’s launch. The executive asserted that MI4 is a game-changer solution for entities seeking to use a smart solution with a comprehensive yield overlay.
MI4 Brings Regulated Crypto Access and DeFi Liquidity to Institutions
Developed on the compliant tokenized mechanism of Securitize, the issuance of MI4 shares is carried out in the form of tokenized securities. They offer real-time liquidity on-chain, compliant transactability in private marketplaces, and DeFi collateralization potential.
As per Carlos Domingo, the CEO and Co-Founder of Securitize, MI4 underscores a great leap for institutional exposure to crypto. The product merges regulated access, seamless integration, and passive income with the advancing DeFi sector. Amid the growing demand for efficient and secure digital exposure among institutions, MI4 is poised to emerge as a key project in establishing latest crypto portfolios.
