uSMART Opens Second Branch at Somerset, Broadening Access to Retail Investors with Its New Wealth Management Hub
DUBAI, UAE, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Mantle, the high-performance distribution and liquidity layer bridging traditional finance (TradFi), real-world assets (RWAs) and on-chain liquidity, today announced the integration of Infinex, a comprehensive cross-chain DeFi aggregation platform featuring a passkey-first wallet, unified portfolio management, and integrated trading capabilities.
The deployment of Infinex on Mantle significantly enhances access to Mantle-based assets and decentralized applications, offering users a streamlined, intuitive interface to discover liquidity, manage portfolios, and execute DeFi strategies seamlessly across multiple blockchain networks.
By expanding its presence on Infinex's marketplace, Mantle continues to advance its mission of making decentralized finance (DeFi) more accessible, efficient, and scalable, further empowering developers, traders, and liquidity providers with frictionless access to a growing on-chain ecosystem.
Why This Integration Matters
Infinex aggregates liquidity from multiple protocols and simplifies advanced DeFi actions, including swaps, bridging, and yield opportunities all into a single, unified experience. This removes the need for users to navigate fragmented interfaces, making it easier to engage with Mantle-native assets and applications.
The integration strengthens Mantle's on-chain reach and interoperability, supporting broader ecosystem adoption as users increasingly seek seamless, cross-protocol access to DeFi services.
A Unified Trading Experience on Mantle
As Mantle continues to develop its modular Layer-2 ecosystem designed to unlock capital efficiency and institutional-grade utility for DeFi while making real-world finance flow seamlessly, integrations like Infinex delivers immediate, real-world value to users and partners alike.
Through Infinex, users can now discover, access, and deploy Mantle-native assets alongside a wide range of DeFi capabilities, including:
- Seamless Swaps: Executing token exchanges with optimized routing for the best available prices and minimal slippage.
- Integrated Bridging: Facilitating cross-chain asset transfers directly within the platform, removing the need for users to navigate separate, often confusing, bridging interfaces.
- Optimized Yield Opportunities: Presenting and automating access to various yield-generating strategies, including staking, lending, and liquidity provision, all from a single dashboard.
This unified experience lowers barriers to participation while enhancing liquidity flow and user engagement across Mantle's growing DeFi landscape.
Strategic Importance for Mantle's Ecosystem
The Infinex integration expands Mantle's visibility beyond its native ecosystem and facilitates deeper, more efficient liquidity flows across chains. As Mantle continues to attract a diverse range of DeFi builders, from decentralized exchanges and autonomous yield tools to AI-powered interfaces and RWA platforms, broader access through cross-chain aggregators plays a key role in driving on-chain activity, volume, and user adoption.
This milestone supports Mantle's long-term strategy to build a robust, accessible, and high-performance ecosystem that serves both sophisticated DeFi users and the next wave of mainstream participants.
