The recovery extended a rebound that began after MNT reached approximately $0.39 at the start of August.<\/p>\n<p>The token has since formed a series of higher lows and briefly reached $0.467 on Aug. 13. Sellers rejected that advance, but MNT held above $0.42 before returning to the upper end of its recent range.<\/p>\n<p>The daily chart places immediate resistance at $0.4575, which matches the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of MNT\u2019s decline from $0.7149 to $0.3874.

The reading did not show strong capital inflows, making confirmation through higher volume important if MNT attempts to break its August peak.<\/p>\n<p>A close below $0.4409 would weaken the immediate setup and expose the lower Bollinger Band near $0.4257. Further selling could bring the Aug. 19 intraday low around $0.42 back into view, followed by the larger daily support at $0.3874.<\/p>\n<p>On the upside, clearing $0.467 would open a path toward the liquidation concentrations at $0.48\u2013$0.49.

A <a href=\"https:\/\/nansen.ai\/post\/mantle-q2-2026-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Q2 report<\/a> published by Nansen said the network\u2019s DeFi total value locked exceeded $1 billion after growing 230% during the first half of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Nansen reported that RWA-focused DeFi TVL passed $90 million, while assets managed through Mantle Vault exceeded $200 million. The network\u2019s stablecoin market capitalization reached $955 million, representing 120% year-over-year growth, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>Mantle also increased the number of tokenized equities on its network from 10 in April to 155 by the end of June. Its lineup included products linked to SpaceX and Franklin Templeton\u2019s U.S. Equity Index ETF, although those tokens do not provide direct ownership in the underlying companies or funds unless their terms explicitly state otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>The network\u2019s Aave market was another source of growth. Mantle said the deployment reached $1 billion in 19 days, while Nansen reported that deposits had exceeded $1.45 billion by April.<\/p>\n<p>For US investors, the presence of tokenized US equities does not establish that the products are available legally in the United States. Mantle\u2019s xStocks announcement described access as available only where permitted, leaving eligibility dependent on each platform\u2019s restrictions and applicable securities rules.<\/p>\n<p>MNT\u2019s immediate direction now rests on whether buyers can convert the ecosystem narrative into enough spot demand to break $0.4575. A confirmed close above that level would strengthen the case for $0.48\u2013$0.49, while losing $0.44 would put the rebound at risk.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer\">\n<p class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__content\">\n            Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
