what's Mantle Index Four Fund?

The Mantle Index Four Fund (MI4) is a tokenized index fund designed to provide institutional-grade exposure to leading digital assets within the decentralized finance ecosystem. Structured as a traditional fund format with on-chain tokenization, it enables investors to access a diversified basket of cryptocurrencies without the need for self-custody or active management. The fund primarily holds BTC, ETH, SOL, and USD equivalents, utilizing yield-bearing tokens such as mETH for Ethereum staking, bbSOL for Solana, and sUSDe for stablecoin yields to generate native returns through DeFi mechanisms. Tokenized on the Mantle Network via Securitize, MI4 interests can be transferred seamlessly on-chain, facilitating features like immediate ownership transfer and integration with blockchain applications. Managed by Mantle Guard Ltd., the fund employs self-custody through Fireblocks for security, bridging traditional finance and DeFi by offering a low-complexity entry point for both crypto-native and institutional investors. This approach leverages Mantle's modular blockchain architecture to enhance liquidity and capital efficiency in the on-chain economy.
