The leading real-world assets (RWA) platform, Securitize, has partnered with Mantle Ecosystem to launch an institutional-grade digital asset product known as Mantle Index Four (MI4) Fund. The product targets global allocators who are increasingly demanding “professionally managed, regulated, and potentially yield-enhanced exposure to top crypto assets.”

According to an April 24 statement, Mantle Treasury has, as part of the launch, committed $400 million as the fund’s anchor investment. This move, the statement adds, reinforces MI4 Fund’s role as a foundational building block for on-chain asset management. The fund is also expected to advance the next generation of institutional digital asset products.

Timothy Chen, global head of strategy at Mantle, predicted that the fund will function as the cryptocurrency industry’s primary index, much like the S&P 500.

“MI4 and associated future products will become the de facto SPX or S&P 500 of crypto – our basket of the major cryptocurrencies aims to capture all capital on chain looking for smart beta with income and is a set-it-and-forget-it solution for institutions without the complexities of direct custody,” Chen stated.

As explained in the report, the MI4 fund is expected to provide exposure to a diversified basket of digital assets, including bitcoin ( BTC), ethereum ( ETH) and solana ( SOL) weighted by market cap and risk-adjusted. It will also provide exposure to USD stablecoins or synthetic dollars.

The fund also employs a quarterly rebalancing schedule and incorporates staking methods like Mantle’s mETH, Bybit’s bbSOL, and Ethena’s USDe to boost returns via decentralized finance (DeFi) yields while maintaining regulatory adherence and investor safeguards.

Carlos Domingo, co-founder and CEO of Securitize, disclosed that the fund will provide investors with the ability to use fund shares as on-chain collateral as well as access to available liquidity. Domingo claimed that such flexibility gives investors a product that “mirrors the best of traditional finance while delivering the full potential of tokenized securities.”
