Mantle Vault Expands from CeFi to DeFi, Launches Non-Custodial Yield Vault for Stablecoin Holders

The significance here is structural rather than promotional: a CeFi-native yield product moving into non-custodial DeFi signals that self-custody is being treated as a distribution channel, not a niche. Stablecoin holders are the immediate audience, and the pitch rests on control of assets rather than headline yield. The open question is whether non-custodial vaults can match the operational trust users associate with centralized venues — and whether the underlying yield sources are disclosed with the same clarity the custody model promises.
