Emily Bao, Head of Spot Trading at Bybit, joins Mantle as an advisor. She aims to enhance integration with Bybit by expanding on-chain finance infrastructure and MNT utility across various DeFi products.
Alongside Emily Bao, Bybit Co-CEO Helen Liu also joins Mantle’s advisory board. This move highlights an alignment between Bybit and Mantle, focusing on accelerating Layer 2 infrastructure and positioning MNT as a bridge between Web2 and Web3.
MNT’s value surged by 90% following the appointments and increased integration efforts with Bybit. This significant rise is attributed to strategic perception and new product-driven inflows.
Financial implications include Bybit’s launch of a MiCA-compliant MNT staking pool in the EU, offering a 36% APR for regulated investors. This aligns with Mantle’s roadmap towards deeper ecosystem partnerships and fair asset discovery.
The appointments and strategic moves signal a new chapter for Mantle in on-chain finance, particularly with institutional-grade solutions.
These developments are expected to improve institutional liquidity and trading options, complementing the broader Mantle ecosystem. Historical trends suggest such exchange-ecosystem integrations boost both market and technological advancements.
“Their support accelerates Mantle’s mission to build the future of onchain finance — open, liquid, and institutional-grade. We’re excited to have their strategic guidance as we scale.”
