Data infrastructure company Invenium Capital Partners has decided to acquire layer1 blockchain Mantra and its affiliates, Cointelegraph reported on June 17 local time.

The acquisition is a move to strengthen its real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation business, the report said. Invenium previously made a $20 million strategic investment in Mantra in August 2025.

On May 13, it also launched NVNM Chain, a layer2 blockchain based on Mantra that supports asset verification without exposing confidential information. Through the acquisition, Invenium expanded its presence in infrastructure that sits at the intersection of RWA tokenisation and AI.

Mantra has spent most of the past year trying to overcome the fallout from the collapse of its OM token.

On April 13, 2025, Mantra's OM token fell 90 percent within hours, wiping out more than $5 billion in market capitalisation. John Patrick Mullin (존 패트릭 멀린), Mantra's CEO, wrote on X that the cause was "reckless forced liquidations by centralised exchanges against OM account holders" and that it was not due to token sales by the team, key advisers or investors. He said the tokens are locked in line with the disclosed vesting period. Against this backdrop, Mantra announced layoffs and restructuring in January this year.
