MNT, the native token of the L2 scaling solution Mantle Network, resumed its ongoing rally as the project unveiled several upcoming developments. Mantle ( MNT ) bounded 17% to an intraday high of $1.28 on Jan. 24 while bringing its market to nearly $4.2 billion at press time. The price surge came along with a 60% jump in the altcoin’s daily trading volume which was hovering over $213 million. Notably, the altcoin began its price upswing on Jan. 20 and has gained 32% since then, while its gains over the past year have reached 104%. The altcoin currently stands as the 40th largest crypto asset per data from CoinGecko, with a circulating supply of over 3.36 billion tokens. What led the MNT rally? MNT rallied after its developers announced six key products the project is working on this year to expand its ecosystem. The Mantle ecosystem already includes the modular layer-2 blockchain Mantle Network, the mETH protocol—a liquid staking product—and its wrapped BTC product ‘Ignition FBC.’ However, the project has now introduced three new pillars to support its growth: a crypto fund called Enhanced Index Fund, a blockchain-based banking platform named Mantle Banking, and MantleX, a platform focused on creating AI agents. The rally was also supported by a surge in Mantle ’s daily active and new addresses involved in MNT transactions. On-chain data from IntoTheblock shows a 50% jump in the number of active addresses completing at least one MNT transaction over the past week. Additionally, the number of new addresses created has also increased by nearly 16% during the period.

Such exchange outflows suggest that these buyers intend to hold onto their investments, anticipating further potential gains over the long term.
