<a href="https://x.com/Mantle_Official" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@Mantle_Official</a> has brought its Bybit yield vault on-chain, partnering with Grove, <a href="https://x.com/CIAN_protocol" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@CIAN_protocol</a>, and Fluxion to open institutional-grade stablecoin yield to any DeFi user, not just those on centralised platforms.

The Mantle Vault originally launched as a product built exclusively for Bybit users. <cite>The expansion extends Mantle Vault beyond its existing centralised finance footprint on Bybit, where it has already crossed $200 million in assets under management, into a new deposit-and-earn product open to any stablecoin holder.</cite>
<cite>The expanded vault allows users to deposit <a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24USDC&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$USDC</a> and <a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24USDT&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$USDT</a> on Mantle to access variable yield generated by the underlying strategy, which includes exposure to sUSDS, Sky Protocol's yield-bearing token, alongside Fluxion Points. Built by <a href="https://x.com/CIAN_protocol" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@CIAN_protocol</a> in coordination with Grove, the vault follows a conservative, non-leveraged structure with transparency into the underlying strategy.</cite>
<cite>Mantle is introducing a dedicated incentive programme of 5.14 million <a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24GROVE&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$GROVE</a> tokens, targeting up to 6.5% APY.</cite> Rates may vary with market conditions and incentives are not guaranteed.
<h2 id="rwa-momentum-behind-the-move">RWA Momentum Behind the Move</h2>
<cite>The expansion follows Mantle's continued momentum in real-world assets, with RWA TVL growing from $22 million to $257 million in a year and DeFi TVL exceeding $755 million.</cite>
That growth has been broad-based. <cite>RWA TVL grew 27.4% quarter-over-quarter to $247.5 million through integrations with Aave, Maple Finance, and xStocks.</cite><cite>The addition of tokenized equity alongside institutional lending yield makes Mantle's RWA stack one of the broadest available on any single L2 network.</cite>
The on-chain vault launch reflects a broader push by <a href="https://x.com/Mantle_Official" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@Mantle_Official</a> to make yield products that were previously accessible only through centralised intermediaries available directly to DeFi participants, using the same infrastructure that has already attracted significant institutional capital to the network.
