Bybit Joins MOBLAND Metaverse After $100 Million TVL in Launchpool Unveiling
Singapore, Singapore–(Newsfile Corp. – February 22, 2022) – MOBLAND, the first-ever Mafia themed metaverse previously known as SYN.CITY, announced a partnership and exchange listing with Bybit. Users can soon own a Bybit headquarters building as an NFT in the MOBLAND metaverse. The partnership was unveiled with the introduction of the MOBLAND launchpool on Bybit.
Launched on Feb. 18, MOBLAND’s launchpool attracted more than 30,000 participants and over $100 million in total value locked (TVL) within the first 12 hours of the pool going live. To further establish the partnership, Bybit will be joining the metaverse where it will conduct business with the creation of its own Bybit headquarters within MOBLAND. The Bybit headquarters will feature multiple businesses that will be owned by the community members who will be able to earn by participating within and utilising the services.
The Bybit business inside MOBLAND’s metaverse is a key differentiator within the industry, as the concept of the GameFi 2.0 metaverse is being brought to life by the two industry giants. The MOBLAND and Bybit partnership was confirmed shortly after Bybit signed a multi-year partnership deal with one of the leading Formula One teams, Oracle Red Bull Racing – at least a staggering $150 million over a three year period that showcases Bybit’s drive towards expansion and increasing adoption for other demographics.
“The partnership with MOBLAND marks Bybit’s latest foray into the metaverse – with a virtual headquarters to boot,” said Igneus Terrenus, Bybit’s head of communications. “Blockchain games have long suffered from the reputation of sacrificing the fun part for the ‘earn’ part. We are delighted to see MOBLAND’s response with their fun and engaging entry, as they seek to make an offer Godfather fans can’t refuse.”
Bybit will be MOBLAND’s first centralised exchange listing, adding to an impressive resume of accomplishments that include a $16.5M CopperLaunch raise from a record-breaking IGO on Binance with over $19M in trading volume, and a $8 million funding round led by Twitch co-founder Justin Kan and Goat Capital, with additional backing from A&T Capital, Hack VC, Animoca Brands and Spartan Group. These accomplishments come alongside significant growth in their community, which has grown to over 200,000 on Twitter, 130,000 on Telegram and 240,000 on Discord.

Asset Token Ventures Launches MBSTokenTM Funds to Unlock Mortgage-Backed Securities on the Blockchain
Asset Token Ventures (ATV), a leader in bridging real-world assets with blockchain, has launched MBSTokenTM, a groundbreaking solution that brings liquidity, transparency, and efficiency to the $11 trillion mortgage-backed securities (MBS) market. Designed for institutional accredited investors and qualified purchasers, MBSTokenTM offers onchain exposure to high-quality MBS assets, traditionally restricted to major financial institutions.
At the core of this initiative are two parallel funds: MBSToken ITM (for non-U.S. investors) and MBSToken IITM (for U.S. investors). By leveraging blockchain technology, ATV aims to democratize access to institutional-grade MBS-backed assets and modernize the fixed-income investment landscape.
“The fixed-income market, particularly MBS, is ripe for innovation,” said David Robnett, Co-Founder and Managing Director of ATV. “We are bringing institutional-grade MBS investments onchain, unlocking liquidity, improving transparency, and offering investors a seamless way to gain exposure to one of the most important financial markets.”
MBSTokenTM: A New Era for Fixed-Income Investment
MBSTokenTM is designed to deliver key advantages that address long-standing inefficiencies in the mortgage-backed securities market:
-
High-Quality Backing: MBSTokens are collateralized by pools of mortgage-backed securities, many of which are guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored entities such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae.
-
Tax Efficiency: ATV’s USVI-based funds qualify for a 90% income tax exemption that provides a higher overall yield and may allow investors to defer taxable appreciation until token redemption.
-
Blockchain Transparency: Transactions are recorded on an immutable ledger, providing real-time insight into asset performance and portfolio composition.
-
Enhanced Security: MBS holdings are structured into bankruptcy remote, stand-alone funds, providing an added layer of investor protection.
-
Global Access and Liquidity: MBSTokenTM allows institutional accredited investors and qualified purchasers worldwide to participate in the U.S. mortgage-backed securities market with seamless 24/7 access and liquidity.
Institutional and Investor Participation
MBSToken’s launch underscores growing institutional interest in tokenized real-world assets. ATV has already attracted significant attention from family offices, sovereign wealth funds, and institutional investors looking to diversify their portfolios with secure, yield-generating assets.
“Fixed-income markets are undergoing a digital transformation,” commented John Matheson, Co-Founder and Managing Director of ATV. “By leveraging blockchain technology, we are making MBS investments more accessible, more efficient, and ultimately more valuable for global investors.”

The Broader Impact of Tokenization in Fixed-Income Markets
The $11 trillion U.S. mortgage-backed securities market plays a critical role in global finance, but historically, its complexity and inaccessibility have limited participation. MBSTokenTM marks a significant step toward digitizing fixed-income markets, offering a bridge between traditional financial structures and the efficiencies of blockchain technology.
The launch of MBSTokenTM aligns with a broader industry trend as major financial institutions increasingly explore tokenization as a means to unlock liquidity, reduce costs, and improve market efficiency. ATV’s innovative approach positions MBSTokenTM as a leader in the evolution of blockchain-powered fixed-income investments.
Paul Talbert, Co-Founder and Managing Director of ATV, said, “We believe tokenization will redefine how capital is deployed in traditional markets. MBSTokenTM is the first step toward a more inclusive and efficient financial ecosystem, one that integrates the best of institutional finance with blockchain’s transformative potential.”
