OM, the native token of the defi solutions platform Mantra, has emerged as the top performer among the top 100 cryptocurrencies, with a significant 19% rise, reaching $1.13.

Currently, OM maintains an 8% increase over the past 24 hours, trading at $1.04. A striking 900% surge in trading volume has also been noted, bringing the total to $311 million within the same period.

With a market capitalization now exceeding $849 million, OM ranks as the 82nd largest cryptocurrency.

Within the Mantra blockchain platform, OM serves dual functions: it allows holders to participate in various DeFi activities such as lending, borrowing, and earning rewards, and it grants them voting rights on proposals shaping the platform’s future.

Several factors have contributed to OM’s recent success. The DeFi, staking, and lending aspects of Mantra’s ecosystem have garnered significant interest and usage, driving up demand. Additionally, the platform’s innovative features and robust community support have fueled its impressive price performance.

Amidst a broader market correction, the resilience and diversity of bitcoin portfolios have come into focus. Promising projects like Mantra have attracted investors seeking alternatives to well-established tokens like BTC and ETH, further boosting OM’s price.

Supporting a bullish outlook for OM, key technical indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stand around 63, suggesting that the token is neither overbought nor oversold. An RSI above 70 typically indicates overbought conditions and is considered bearish.

In March, Mantra secured $11 million in a funding round led by Shorooq Partners, with contributions from strategic investors including Three Point Capital, Forte Securities, and Virtuzone.

These funds are earmarked to enhance Mantra’s initiatives in large-scale RWA tokenization.
