Mantle Vault Expands into DeFi with Grove, CIAN, and Fluxion Partnership

Mantle Vault is expanding into Decentralized Finance (DeFi) by partnering with Grove, CIAN, and Fluxion. This move aims to bring institutional-grade Real-World Asset (RWA) yield on-chain, bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and DeFi.

The expansion marks a shift from siloed yield exposure to composable yield, allowing traders and treasury managers to interact with assets across different protocols in a permissionless manner. This change will shift more responsibility from operators to smart contracts, oracles, and users themselves.

Mantle's positioning as an open financial network gives the move a deliberate market-structure bent, aiming to connect existing asset supply to DeFi demand rather than chasing retail yield farming. The partner layer will determine the outcome of this collaboration, with Grove, CIAN, and Fluxion working together but their individual roles unclear.
