- Mantle trades near $1.37 after climbing 150% from July lows and approaches $1.40.
- Development activity holds at 0.429 while inflation remains near zero for stability.
- Institutional demand grows as Bybit and Coinbase expand Mantle products and listings.
Mantle (MNT) is retesting the $1.35–$1.40 resistance zone, a level that rejected the price twice in the past year, which is March and November. Each rejection triggered sharp downturns, with declines extending toward $0.58, representing nearly 58% losses from the peak. If the token sustains a close above $1.40 with trading volume, it could open the path toward $1.60–$1.80. However, if rejection occurs again, the price risks sliding back to the $0.90 support zone, an area that has previously acted as a stabilizing floor for traders.
Market Performance and Resistance Levels
At press time, Mantle trades at $1.3542, securing a 4.65% weekly gain. The chart posted by Ali Charts on X shows high resistance at $1.40, with three arrows indicating previous rejection points. Each appeal has led to steep sell-offs, demonstrating how this level remains a decisive barrier for bulls. Ali commented: “Rejection at $1.40, short to $0.58… Could it really be that simple for Mantle $MNT?”

On-Chain Metrics and Development Trends
Data from Santiment has illustrated that Mantle was rising to $1.37 on August 20, 2025, recovering from July lows near $0.55, almost skyrocketing by 150%. Development activity has remained consistent, with purple line spikes above 1.53 in late April before easing down. By mid-August, activity steadied near 0.429, signaling moderate yet reliable progress. The rally seems demand-driven, and steady development has reduced stagnation, thus building long-term confidence in Mantle’s ecosystem.

Mantle’s annual inflation rate hovers near zero, represented by the red line. Coming off with a very brief spike in July that quickly reversed, leaving supply otherwise stable and dilution risk minimized. This supply control left price action to be dictated mainly by demand and technical resistance.
Institutional Adoption and Ecosystem Expansion
The growth of Mantle moves beyond charts. Bybit EU launched, under MiCA regulation, staking for $MNT, wherein users can stake their tokens under regulatory standards. On the other hand, Bybit launched a new “Double Win” structured product related to Mantle, allowing retail and institutional traders to get exposure to this network.
Such products stand in line with Mantle’s broader vision with the launch of Mantle 2.0, which aims now at maximizing adoption and utility as a Layer 2 solution. Beyond, momentum for adoption ensued when Coinbase International Exchange listed Mantle for futures trading, enhancing the institutional access capabilities.
There remains a heavy demand for Mantle-linked institutional products. The Mantle Index Four (MI4) Fund is sitting on assets exceeding $200 million, evidence of a serious appetite for structured BTCFi instruments. With standing price, adoption, and development side by side, the ultimate challenge would be whether Mantle can break $1.40 and conjure a new high, or face resistance.
