Institutional adoption expands this week amid Bybit vault milestone

Bybit announced that its Mantle Vault product on Bybit On-Chain Earn surpassed $100 million in assets under management, marking a milestone for Mantle’s real-world asset and CeDeFi strategy for 2026. The Mantle Vault is designed as a yield-bearing stablecoin asset management tool and is part of Bybit’s broader initiative to bridge traditional finance and DeFi through blockchain innovation. This development highlights Mantle’s expanding role in institutional and retail digital asset adoption, supported by regulated platforms and Web3 integration.

Mixed technical momentum as bearish bias holds over the week

On the weekly chart, MNT remains below both its MA-20 and MA-50, reflecting prevailing bearish sentiment and resistance above current prices. Weekly support is near $0.9433 while major resistance is set around the MA-50 and Kijun level at $1.7775. Momentum indicators are mixed: ADX reflects a robust trend with a bullish tilt, but MACD remains neutral, and the RSI at 44 points to slight bearishness, further confirmed by oversold Stoch RSI and a negative BBP. CCI also signals near-term downside potential, with volatility remaining elevated and price action range-bound.

Downside risk favored next week as breakout prospects remain limited

For the coming week, MNT is expected to trade within a corridor of $0.9750 to $1.0420. The probability of a significant price increase is low (under 20%), making further downside or sideways movement the base case in the near term. A decisive move above $1.0420 could trigger a bullish breakout toward higher resistance, while a drop below $0.9750 may lead to renewed selling pressure and a retest of lower support levels. Overall, competition between buyers and sellers is likely to keep the price contained within this weekly range.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, Traders Union analyst, sees Mantle’s resilience this week as a constructive long-term signal despite price staying below key moving averages. He believes the news of Bybit’s Mantle Vault crossing $100 million in assets under management adds significant fundamental strength, reflecting confidence from both institutional and retail participants. While technicals show sellers still dominate, initiatives like Bybit’s CeDeFi product underscore Mantle’s broader adoption prospects. Continued competition around $1.00 offers fertile ground for accumulation and potential breakout opportunities as momentum builds. "With macro adoption tailwinds and strong real-world asset flows, I see MNT as well-positioned to outperform once resistance is broken — this pullback could be a setup for further growth."

Previously it was noted that Mantle traded below key moving averages, with sellers dominating and volatility remaining high after sharp declines. Momentum indicators were mixed, as described in the article volatility remained high after today's decline amid dynamic resistance at the Ichimoku Kijun and psychological support at $1.00.
