View ChartMANTRA (old) (OM) is a legacy token from the initial iteration of the MANTRA DAO ecosystem, a community-governed platform focused on staking, lending, and governance within the Polkadot and Cosmos networks.
MANTRA (old) (OM) was the original governance and utility token for the MANTRA DAO ecosystem. It operates as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, utilizing a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. The token was designed for platform governance, staking rewards, and fee discounts. A token migration to a new chain-native OM token on the MANTRA Chain has been completed; the old OM token is considered legacy. Users are advised to check the official MANTRA channels for the latest information regarding the legacy OM token.
MANTRA (old) (OM) represents the original token powering the MANTRA DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization built to democratize finance through staking, lending, and community governance.

The MANTRA DAO project and its original OM token were founded by a team of blockchain and finance professionals. The project's core vision was to create a community-governed DeFi platform, initially focusing on the Polkadot and Cosmos ecosystems. The development and governance were managed by the MANTRA DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization where OM token holders could propose and vote on key protocol decisions. It's important to note that the project has since evolved, launching its own application-specific blockchain, the MANTRA Chain, and migrating to a new native OM token.
As an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, the legacy OM token functioned primarily within the original MANTRA DAO ecosystem. Its mechanics were centered on participation and incentive alignment:
The value proposition of the original OM token was intrinsically linked to the success and growth of the MANTRA DAO ecosystem.
The primary use cases for the legacy OM token within its original ecosystem were:
Important Note: The project has transitioned to the MANTRA Chain. The old ERC-20 OM token is considered a legacy asset. Holders were required to migrate their tokens to the new chain-native OM. Always refer to the official MANTRA website and announcements for the most current information regarding token status and utility.
OM is a cryptocurrency that was listed on several exchanges. However, for trading legacy assets, it is crucial to use reputable and secure platforms with clear asset policies, such as the BTCC exchange, which offers robust security and customer support.
Disclaimer: Trading legacy tokens carries specific risks. Always conduct thorough research, ensure you understand the token's current status (migrated vs. legacy), and only trade on trusted platforms like BTCC.

MANTRA (old) (OM) runs on MANTRA Chain, a Cosmos SDK Layer 1 secured by Tendermint BFT consensus under a Proof-of-Stake model. Validators are chosen by the amount of OM staked, so staking directly locks supply and reduces the liquid float available for trading.
Supply mechanics matter just as much. In April 2025 the team announced a burn of 300 million OM tokens, roughly 16.5% of supply, with 150 million coming personally from founder John Patrick Mullin, aimed at boosting staking rewards. In August 2025 the token moved to its native chain with a hard cap of 2.5 billion OM, followed by a non-dilutive 1:4 redenomination to MANTRA.
For holders, the takeaway is that staking lock-ups and burns tighten OM supply, which can support price when demand holds, while inflation and unlock schedules can pressure it when they do not.
MANTRA Chain is positioned as an RWA-focused Layer 1 built on the Cosmos SDK, with EVM compatibility, MultiVM support, IBC interoperability and CosmWasm, plus compliance modules for KYC/AML. Network upgrades such as the migration of OM to its native chain and the supply cap of 2.5 billion tokens directly change how the asset is issued and used.
Gas fees paid in the native token create recurring demand as activity grows. The RWA DeFi ecosystem, including MANTRA Finance and its Dubai VARA DeFi license, tokenized real estate, commodities, private credit and funds, plus partnerships such as the $1 billion DAMAC Group tokenization agreement, expands the set of users who need OM.
In short, upgrades improve capacity and compliance, fees tie usage to demand, and RWA growth enlarges the addressable market, all of which can feed through to OM valuation over time.
A spot ETF would be a regulated vehicle holding the underlying asset, letting institutions gain exposure through traditional brokerage and custody accounts instead of crypto-native wallets. For MANTRA (old) (OM), no such product exists today, so the more realistic institutional channel is direct RWA adoption.
MANTRA already holds a VASP license from Dubai's VARA and a DeFi license for MANTRA Finance, and provides pathways through Broker-Dealer and VA Management and Investment Services licenses. These frameworks let regulated institutions embed compliance at the chain or smart-contract level, which is exactly what tokenized real estate, commodities and private credit require.
Sustained institutional inflows would deepen OM liquidity, strengthen its legitimacy with regulators and create a steadier price floor, though the April 2025 crash and the 2026 restructuring mean trust still has to be rebuilt.
MANTRA (old) (OM) and Bitcoin occupy very different roles in a portfolio: BTC is a scarce monetary asset, while OM is a utility token for an RWA-focused Layer 1 with regulatory licensing. The table below summarizes the main differences.
| Dimension | MANTRA (old) (OM) | Bitcoin (BTC) |
|---|---|---|
| Core Positioning | RWA Layer 1 with compliance modules | Digital store of value |
| Supply Model | Hard cap of 2.5B after migration | Fixed 21M cap |
| Consensus | Proof-of-Stake, Tendermint BFT | Proof-of-Work |
| Main Use Cases | Tokenized real estate, funds, private credit | Payments, reserve asset |
Compared with other RWA Layer 1 tokens, OM stands out for its VARA licenses and Cosmos plus EVM interoperability, but it also carries higher concentration and event risk.
On BTCC you can attach stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) orders directly to a OM/USDT perpetual contract position, so the exchange closes it automatically once your trigger price is hit.
Keep position size consistent with the distance to your stop, and remember that OM has historically shown sharp, thin-liquidity moves, so wider stops and lower leverage are usually safer.
The current price of MANTRA (old) (OM) is $0.003022, with a market cap of $5.787628M and 24h trading volume of _24h20.269646. The circulating supply is -- (max supply ∞).
These figures move continuously, so treat any single snapshot as a reference point rather than a fixed value. For live depth, funding rates and the latest fills, open the OM/USDT perpetual contract page on BTCC and check the real-time order book before placing an order.
MANTRA (old) (OM) responds to three layers of drivers that traders usually watch together.
Because OM trades with relatively thin liquidity, news on any of these layers can move price faster than it would for larger assets.
The all-time high of MANTRA (old) (OM) is $9.036695, reached on 2025-02-23 00:40; the all-time low is $0.001975, recorded on 2026-09-21 06:55.
Those two points frame the full range OM has traded through, and the distance between them reflects how volatile this asset has been. To see the complete cycle, including the April 2025 crash and the 2026 migration and rebrand, open the OM/USDT chart on BTCC and switch between daily, weekly and monthly timeframes.
Reading a OM candlestick chart starts with the anatomy of each candle and then layers on indicators.
Combine these on the BTCC OM/USDT chart before entering a trade.
You can profit from a falling MANTRA (old) (OM) price without ever holding spot, by using BTCC OM/USDT perpetual contracts. Open a short position at a higher price, then close it by buying back at a lower price, and the difference is your profit.
This gives you two-way trading: you can go long when you expect a rally and short when you expect a decline or a pullback within an uptrend. Shorting is especially useful in bear phases, when spot holders are simply waiting for a recovery.
Risk management still applies. Use stop-loss orders above key resistance, size positions carefully, and keep leverage moderate, since OM has a history of sharp moves in both directions.
Yes. BTCC offers flexible leverage on OM/USDT perpetual contracts, up to 50x, subject to the platform's risk rules and margin requirements.
Leverage magnifies both gains and losses, so a small adverse move can trigger liquidation of a highly leveraged position. Beginners should start at 2x to 10x and always attach a strict stop-loss before entering.
You can also adjust margin mode and leverage per position, and use take-profit orders to exit automatically at your target. Treat leverage as a tool for capital efficiency, not as a way to increase conviction.
After registering on BTCC, switch to Demo Trading mode and you will receive virtual funds, for example 100,000 USDT, to practice with. The demo environment uses real MANTRA (old) (OM) market data, so prices, candles and order behaviour mirror the live OM/USDT perpetual contract.
Use it to rehearse leverage adjustment, market and limit orders, and take-profit and stop-loss placement without risking real capital. Once you are comfortable with the workflow, you can move to live trading with a small position size.
Follow this four-step flow on BTCC to trade MANTRA (old) (OM).
Before going live, you can rehearse the same steps in Demo Trading mode with virtual funds. Because OM has historically been volatile, start with a small position and moderate leverage while you get familiar with the market.
