Mantle and Bybit Revolutionize Tokenized Equities with Atomic RFQ Integration

Bringing Institutional Quality to Tokenized Equities

In a significant leap forward for financial technology, Mantle, a leading distribution layer connecting traditional finance with on-chain liquidity, has joined forces with Bybit, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges by trading volume, to introduce the Atomic RFQ system for xStocks. This integration aims to enhance how tokenized equities are handled in the market, striving to meet institutional standards through better liquidity and execution quality.

Unlocking the Potential of xStocks

The launch of the Atomic RFQ mechanism is a milestone in the xStocks roadmap, which serves as a gateway for trading publicly listed U.S. stocks and ETFs on the blockchain. By leveraging Fluxion, Mantle's decentralized exchange, users can now mint and redeem xStocks tokens directly via a Request for Quote (RFQ) system.

This revolutionary approach bypasses the traditional automated market maker infrastructure, paving the way for a more efficient and direct means of executing tokenized equity transactions. By integrating on-chain and off-chain liquidity, the collaboration between Mantle and Bybit results in a seamless trading experience, eliminating the barriers that have historically fragmented these markets.

Addressing Liquidity Challenges

Tokenized equity markets have long grappled with issues of liquidity and price accuracy. By integrating Bybit’s liquidity with Mantle’s on-chain execution via Fluxion, a unified approach emerges. This not only enhances the trading environment but also aligns the price discovery process more closely with institutional expectations.

The Atomic RFQ model establishes continuous issuer-direct execution, thus addressing the liquidity gap experienced across various trading platforms. As Emily Bao, a key advisor at Mantle noted,
