The Crypto Coin That Outperformed Bitcoin

Folks, welcome to Box Mining, and I'm really excited to talk to you about real-world assets. This sector just completely exploded. Ever since we made a video about this around eight months ago, Mantra Dell, the leading coin for real-world assets, has literally exploded. Simply said, when we first did the video about Mantra and we covered it, it was literally at $0.70, but now it has exploded to more than $4. And the crazy part about Mantra is that the narrative is not stopping there. Just for example, there are trillions of dollars in real estate, and Mantra is leveraging the power of what's happening in UAE because there is very favorable policies towards putting real estate onto the blockchain. Even at $4, there is more money flowing in because they're just doing more and more. In this video, we are going to cover an in-depth coverage of what Mantra is doing. I'm going to bring Ron here. Ron, come in. There's a seat for you. Because there's trillions of dollars to stake, there's also a lot of potential. And not to mention, Mantra is the best performing layer one this year. I mean, even outpacing Bitcoin by a huge margin. Look at that number. That's insane. Year-to-date gains, by the way, 24,000%. So even if you're not interested in RWAs, you need to be interested in everything that's growing here because this is not just one coin, but this is an entire narrative. So without further ado, let's get started. And of course, everything here is my personal opinion, not financial advice. Let's get started. So first, let's just relax a little bit and just discuss the market as a whole. All right. So let's give a brief overview of the RWA space. We've tried to explore this multiple times. I think RWAs, they went through multiple different names and branding. Like maybe it's like security tokens in the past, if you've been in 2016, 2017. And we view this as the holy grail almost. But it was hard. Yeah. It's hard because the tech is actually relatively easy. Right? I think when you're a crypto native, we know we can trade assets one click, boom. And then we can put it on a lending platform. We could put it on DeFi. The tech is actually relatively easy. Yeah. But the problem, I think, was regulation. And you know what's the dark part about this? At the end of the day, governments make a lot of money from real world assets. Yes. Like look at Hong Kong, for example, right? Real estate is the bread and butter. Same with the entire, it's not just Hong Kong, entirely China. Like Chinese GDP relies like on a double digit percentage on real estate. The governments want to capture the entirety of the money that's being flown in there. Let's say, for example, there's taxes on sales. There's taxes on trades. The governments want to milk everything. They don't want that money flowing into somewhere else. Right? Which is why it was actually a very difficult regulatory hurdle. Because of just how much money is involved. But this is a turning point. Because this year, there's a lot of regulatory improvements globally. And people are starting to see that crypto is not the enemy here. Crypto can help governments make even more money. Yeah. And I think that's a realization. I think that's like a sudden click. Oh, this is not the enemy. Yeah. Taxi is about to... So something that we actually learned here on this channel is that there's so many people globally. So that global access is something that is extremely desirable in the real estate space. Yeah. Because people in India might want to invest maybe in Brazil. Yeah. Or maybe in the UAE. Yeah. And I think the UAE government is extremely smart in this respect. Because they know that the next property boom is going to come when there's a lot of global involvement. So I feel like this is where Mantra has a very good positioning right now. Because they're working very, very closely with the UAE government. Let's take a little quick clip from a recent interview that they've done. Creating the token is not the hard part here, right? Yeah. The distribution, doing it compliantly, actually issuing it with a proper legal stack behind it is really the challenge. And I think Republic's done a great job in the United States and potentially in Europe. We're looking at it more from a Middle Eastern perspective here in the UAE with VARA doing an amazing job of being quite forward-thinking and progressive. ADGM as well in Abu Dhabi. So I think a lot of these things are going to be jurisdictionally dependent. And, you know, I think for us personally, we do believe that real-world assets are going to take off from the UAE. And you can see, right? They're deeply involved. They just ingrained themselves into that space. And they're very practical about it too. JP Mullen, founder of Mantra, says he wants to have $100 billion in real-world asset TVL by the end of 2026. And a lot of people are asking, well, how are you going to do that? Of course, with real estate tokenization being a very strong focus, you have to partner with the big players in those industries. One of them is a partnership with Novice Aviation Capital to pioneer tokenization in aviation financing. Potential AUM there is $200 billion. And then another partnership with Pais EV Bikes addressing the green energy sector, aiming to tokenize more than 10,000 electric motorcycles on Mantra by the end of 2025. So I think this is the number one opportunity we're seeing here. And this is why, one of the reasons why Mantra exploded. It's because they're working with the right people at the right time. Yes. So that's number one, regulatory approval. Second of all, of course, is what's happened in the States. So it's still up in air right now, but we definitely see that the U.S. government is opening up to the crypto sector. Yeah. And there's a lot of regulatory changes that's going to come in place. So this is where Mantra also has a good position because they have actually collaborated huge amounts with American partners as well. And they actually allowed a lot of collaborative space for this. So one of the recent launches that we actually didn't manage to cover in the last video is Mantra working with Ando Finance. This, when we saw this, I was like clapping. I'm like, dude, you guys just work with your biggest competitor. Yeah. Right. These are the two blue chips in the RWA space. They just merged, which is why Mantra is the number one now. But what does this really mean? If you're not super involved, it feels very abstract. That's what I initially thought. But a quick summary is that RWA is building something called the USDY. It's their savings vault. And that directly allows essentially DeFi access to real world assets. Yes. So it's really just building that facility. Yeah, it's basically building and bringing all these liquidity together. And it really reflects what RWA is about, which is investing without borders. Right. And something that's quite important here is when you talk to young people, right? Oh, yeah, assets go up really great. But when you talk to older people, especially old money that's been around for a long time, they're thinking about how to use and double down on their investments or how to collateralize them. So the first question that I was asked when I was talking to Bitcoin to someone that was like 50 years old or 60 years old, and they have a lot of money, they're like, okay, if I buy a million dollars of Bitcoin, how do I collateralize this? Right. And the same question you asked, okay, if I buy RWA assets, how do I collateralize that? How do I make my $1 million become accessible if 60% accessible and I reinvest that again? Right. This is the 1% of the 1% mentality. Yeah. And this is exactly what Mantra and Ondo Finance is building. They're building a coin to facilitate this. They're building a platform so they can provide more liquidity on top of liquidity. So all those tools that are essentially necessary for those 1% investors, that's essentially what they're trying to do here. So this is a really, really big partnership that they're tracking in. And this is like, this will bring a lot of legitimacy to USDY. And on top of that, this is all going to be on a Mantra mainnet, which is going to be really, really powerful. Now, there's some actual things you can do right now when it comes to Mantra. And one of them, of course, is staking. So Ron's going to take an overview of what Mantra chain, the mainnet chain is like, and how he can stake your Mantra and be part of that system. Now comes to the juicy part. Earning rewards from participating in the Mantra ecosystem. So if you've been following us on AlphaDrop, you would have gotten yourself qualified for a very handsome OM token reward. From participating in the testnet, as well as delegating your Atom tokens to Mantra chain validators. And it doesn't just stop there because there's going to be even more rewards in the future. Namely, the eco drop that is mentioned by JP Mullen, who is the co-founder of Mantra. Here you can see in the comment, he says eco drops gonna cook. So what are eco drops? There's no confirmation as of yet, but JP Mullen has teased that eco drops could be rewards from RWA partners that have chosen Mantra as their tokenization platform. And if you are specifically an OM token staker, you can have exposure to getting these rewards. So if you are interested in participating in the Mantra ecosystem, capturing a lot of this value, head on over to Mantra Zone. For the next year, this will be your base of operation for farming future airdrops. So you're gonna need to connect your Kepler wallet and your EVM wallet. And with Mantra now built on the Cosmos SDK, it's very important that if you have OM tokens in your Ethereum mainnet, you're gonna need to bridge them over to Mantra. So head on over to bridge here. And if you have any OM tokens from Ethereum mainnet, just bridge them over to Mantra. That way you can maximize not just the staking rewards of up to 18% APR, but as well as those future airdrops from the RWA partners of Mantra. So you'll be getting your OM tokens at a one-to-one rate. The bridge fee is free. The only cost here is the gas fee that is on Ethereum. So at the time of this recording, bridging your OM from Ethereum to Mantra will cost 0.000357 ETH, which is roughly $1.50. It's actually not bad for an Ethereum gas. Then once you have some OM tokens on your Mantra chain inside your Kepler wallet, head on over to stake. This is the bare minimum that you can do in order to get future reward airdrops. And here, there are many different validators that you can delegate your OM tokens to, to start earning those staking APR. Now in terms of strategy, the safest thing that you can do is to delegate to either one of Mantra's association nodes. And this is the best in terms of maximizing staking rewards because they have a 0% commission. However, I think if the requirement for getting airdrops from their RWA partners, and they do have a lot in the making, as you can see recently, Google Cloud has partnered with Mantra, Ondo Finance, of course, and several major TradFi companies have already begun to onboard with Mantra. Then you might have to stake or delegate your OM tokens to those RWA partner nodes. So for example, if maybe Google Cloud announced that if you want to earn their airdrop rewards or any incentive programs they have, you're going to need to stake onto Google Cloud. However, the commission here is a little bit high, 10.10%. And if you're new to staking, the commission here does not take away from your staking balance. It only takes from the staking rewards that you've accrued. So for example, if you've staked 100 OM tokens over the year, you'll be earning 16.17% of OM tokens in staking rewards. But Google Cloud will be taking 10.10% of that 16.17% rewards as commission. So in the meantime, my personal strategy is to allocate roughly 60 to 70% towards the association nodes just for the staking rewards. This is positive cash flow that I want, and I want to be min-maxing that part. And the rest of the 30% I'll be allocating towards their RWA partner, namely Google Cloud, Artifact, Anchorage Digital, and Hex Technologies. So that's just how I'm going to be approaching it. This is not financial advice. So please do your own research and allocate your resources accordingly. But yeah, man, definitely super exciting. The fact that JP Mullen commented on my post saying that eco drops gonna cook is really, really bullish. So I really cannot wait for what's to come in 2025 just for testnet activities and delegating Atom. That is 765 OM tokens. And with Mantra nearly at $4, that's 3K of airdrops for free. And I think Mantra is just going to keep going higher. This is definitely the blue chip for real world asset narrative. Keep in mind, guys, it's not just about what you do now, but what about the things that build around Mantra? Now that they're not just a coin, they're an ecosystem. So now when you do transactions, the ecosystem partner is usually a reward. That's what we see with the Cosmos projects. So that's going to be exciting. We're going to cover more about this in Alpha Drop as well. Quick show to our other channel where we talk about kind of the pioneer leading edge of things that's going on. So make sure you pay attention to this and what's happening in Alpha Drop as well. And with that, guys, that is our coverage, current coverage of Mantra. Man, it's super exciting to talk about this. Like this was one of our key investments this year and it really took off. I'm not patting myself on the back here because I feel like there's more to grow. If I'm patting myself on the back, I'm just saying, hey, it's done, right? No. But this is really the beginning of RWA. We're seeing the world's shift and we're seeing that trillion dollar marketplace coming over. Even the BlackRock CEO, Larry Fink, said, you know, four trillion dollars. The next objective is to move that into the crypto space. And we're kind of witnessing the history of this changing. So, guys, make sure you pay attention. I also advise you to watch a lot of videos that are coming up on Mantra DAO's channel. They actually make really good discussion topics about this. So that's going to be something that if you want to do additional research, that's something you should really be on as well. With that, guys, thank you guys so much for watching.
