MANTRA Triggers OM Token Migration: 4-for-1 Split Imminent
Hold on to your wallets—MANTRA just pulled the lever on its OM token migration. This isn't just a routine upgrade; it's the precursor to a major 4-to-1 token split, a move that could reshape its market dynamics overnight.
The Migration Mechanics
The process is live. Token holders are now swapping their old OM for the new version. The protocol handles the heavy lifting, but users need to act—exchanges and wallets are pushing notifications, and the clock is ticking before the old tokens become digital relics.
Why Split? The Strategy Behind the Math
A 4-to-1 split sounds like financial engineering 101—increase the token supply, lower the nominal price per unit. The goal? To boost liquidity and make the token feel more accessible to retail traders who still get spooked by three-digit prices. It's a classic play, often deployed just before a project aims for broader exchange listings or major ecosystem expansions.
Market Calculus & The Road Ahead
History shows splits can be bullish catalysts, creating a psychological 'cheaper' entry point that drives trading volume. But let's be real—it doesn't change the fundamental market cap. That's dictated by utility, adoption, and whether the project delivers real-world use cases beyond speculative trading. For MANTRA, the migration and split must be followed by tangible progress in its RWA-focused ecosystem to justify any sustained momentum.
One cynical finance jab? It's the crypto equivalent of a stock split—great for optics and trader psychology, but ultimately just slicing the same pizza into more, smaller slices. The real feast depends on whether the project can bake a bigger pie.
The migration is a technical necessity. The split is a strategic gambit. Together, they set the stage for MANTRA's next chapter—one that will be written by developers, adopters, and whether the market still has an appetite for tokenomics theater.
Detailed migration timeline
OKX outlined the updated schedule for the migration. OM transfers, deposits, and withdrawals will pause at 03:00 UTC on December 22, 2025. The migration itself will occur between 03:00 UTC on December 22 and 10:00 UTC on December 25.
“OKX will strive to complete the token migration within the specified time frame. However, there may be delays due to coordination with the project team,” the exchange added. After migration, OM deposits on ethereum (ERC20) will no longer be supported, leaving only MANTRA Chain deposits active.
Additionally, users engaging in margin trading or flexible loans must settle outstanding balances before delisting dates. OM/USDT margin trading will suspend between 08:00 and 10:00 UTC on December 12, and OMUSDT perpetual futures will delist at 08:00 UTC on December 15. Spot trading pairs OM/USDT and OM/USDⓈ will be suspended on December 22 and 19, respectively. OKX advised users to cancel pending orders and manually stop Trading Bots to prevent fees or slippage.
Binance had announced in September that deposits and withdrawals of OM on Ethereum ERC20 and BNB Smart Chain BEP20 would be unavailable starting from September 26, 2025, further solidifying the migration into MANTRA’s mainnet. JP Mullin, the CEO of MANTRA, posted on X that the migration is going really fast, and with Binance’s support, it will be an easy transition for token holders.
MANTRA mainnet upgrade and market context
This migration coincides with MANTRA’s recent mainnet upgrade, designed to fully support RWAs and offer a blockchain fully compatible with EVM and CosmWasm. This opens the possibility for developers to deploy decentralized apps (dApps) based on Solidity directly on MANTRA without changes and to fork DeFi protocols tailored for RWAs.
As a result, it finally gives institutions a secure and compliant blockchain ecosystem with the backing of MANTRA Finance’s license from Dubai’s VIRTUAL Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA).
The global tokenization market, valued at $16 trillion, is growing quickly. MANTRA’s upgrade makes it easier for institutions to use tokenized assets while keeping compliance and security in place. According to CoinMarketCap, at the time of writing, MANTRA was trading at $0.076026 with a 24-hour volume of $20.9 million, up 2.47% in the past day, highlighting positive investor sentiment during this migration phase.
