  • Built-in custodian wallets

    Platform-managed custodian wallets for investors and issuers on EVM networks, Cardano and the XRP Ledger (enabled per deployment), so no third-party wallet is needed to invest.

    Custodian Wallet

  • Investors pay no network fees at checkout

    When an investor pays from the custodian balance, gas is sponsored and billed to the offering’s issuer. Investors are never charged network fees for XRP Ledger transactions.

    How checkout works

  • Payment methods and currencies

    Investors pay by card, bank wire, USDC or USDT on EVM, RLUSD or USDC on the XRP Ledger, or from their custodian balance. Card and wire payments settle in USD, EUR or GBP, chosen per offering. Bitbond states card, stablecoin and bank payments in Offering Manager.

    Investor guide

  • Structuring module

    Offering-pack drafting software for issuers, with jurisdiction packs for the Cayman Islands (CIMA, published) and, in Beta pending counsel review, El Salvador (CNAD), the US (SEC Reg D / Reg S) and the EU (MiCA). Drafts are for review by your own counsel; it is not legal advice. Bitbond offers an Advisory service covering structure and regulation; drafting software is not publicly stated.

    Structuring

  • Distribution Hub to raise capital

    An investor CRM and pipeline for your raise — contacts, organisations, campaigns and introductions — with optional Libby AI investor discovery, enrichment and matching. Bitbond’s Offering Manager covers investor onboarding and order management; a CRM is not publicly stated.

    Distribution Hub

  • Co-listing across Libertum marketplaces

    Through the Ecosystem Directory, an issuer can ask other Libertum-powered marketplaces to host its approved offering. Once a host accepts, that platform’s investors can invest through the same token and cap table — more reach without a second issuance.

    Token standards and networks

What is Bitbond?

Bitbond provides asset tokenization infrastructure for banks, asset managers and corporate issuers. According to its website, it was founded in Berlin in 2013 and operates as Bitbond GmbH. Its products are Token Tool, a self-serve, no-code tool for creating and deploying tokens; Offering Manager, for running token offerings with investor KYC/AML, a white-label investor checkout and lifecycle management; and Advisory, covering structure, regulation (MiCA, eWpG) and architecture.

Its website lists ERC-20, ERC-1400 and ERC-721 for Token Tool and names networks including Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Solana, Stellar, XRPL and peaq. It refers to a BaFin-approved security token bond in 2019 and describes itself as MiCA-ready and eWpG-ready; on the pages we reviewed it does not name a financial licence held by Bitbond.

What is Libertum?

Libertum is a tokenization software company. Its platform, T-Suite, lets issuers and asset managers create, offer and manage tokens on EVM networks, Cardano and the XRP Ledger, under their own brand on the plans that include the white-label platform.

Optional add-ons cover investor distribution (Distribution Hub and Libby AI), document preparation (Structuring, Beta), fund administration software (Funds) and stablecoins (Stablecoin Studio). Pricing is published on the plan page, which is authoritative.

Libertum, S.A. de C.V. holds an El Salvador Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) licence from the CNAD, registry entry PSAD-0094. It covers custody, exchange and transfer of USDT and USDC and receipt and transmission of client orders, has effect in El Salvador only, and does not authorise issuance. Libertum is not a broker-dealer, an alternative trading system or a transfer agent of record. Every offering also receives a publicly verifiable Smart Contract Certificate, which is Libertum’s own technology certificate, not a regulatory approval.

Which should you choose?

Bitbond and Libertum overlap on issuance and primary offerings but differ in token standards, networks and how much of the platform carries your brand.

  • Bitbond is likely the better fit if you need networks Libertum does not offer, such as Solana, Stellar, Optimism, Avalanche, BNB Chain or private EVM networks, or ERC-1400 tokens.
  • Bitbond is also likely the better fit if you want a self-serve token deployment tool with one-time fees, or advisory on German and EU frameworks such as eWpG and MiCA.
  • Libertum is likely the better fit if you want ERC-3643 tokens with identity-based on-chain compliance, or Cardano CIP-113 issuance.
  • Libertum is likely the better fit if you want a full white-label platform under your own brand and domain, an investor CRM (Distribution Hub) and a P2P order book (Base mainnet).

Can I move an existing token to Libertum?

Libertum’s Token Import brings an existing token into T-Suite. On supported EVM networks it accepts ERC-3643, ERC-20 and ERC-721 tokens; Cardano and XRP Ledger tokens can be imported read-only. Every import starts as Mirror: a read-only cap table and history, with no ability to move, mint or freeze anything. For an EVM token, the issuer can then move to Operate by granting Libertum the roles shown in the app, or by handing control to their organisation’s custodian wallet. Whether a specific token qualifies depends on its contract and network, so we check it with you first.

Bitbond lists ERC-20 and ERC-721 among its standards, and Token Import accepts both on supported EVM networks; ERC-1400 is not one of the standards Libertum imports. Whether a specific token qualifies depends on its contract and network.

Watch: importing an existing token

A short T-Suite demo of Token Import: the token arrives read-only as Mirror, and an EVM token can then move to Operate.

Transcript: Token Import demo

Already issued a token elsewhere? Bring it with you.

Switching platforms usually means a migration, a re-issue and a holder spreadsheet.

Imported tokens lists everything you've brought in, on EVM chains and the XRP Ledger.

Pick the network, paste the contract, and Libertum reads the standard, name and supply from the chain.

Prove control: your on-chain role is found, you sign one message, and nothing on the contract changes.

Name the offering and import it.

The history is rebuilt from the chain and checked against it. The cap table is live.

Every transfer is in the journal, with pre-import entries marked external.

Investors claim their holdings: Anna signs once from her wallet, and her tokens never move.

The holding appears in her statements, read from the chain.

Your contracts stay yours. Libertum starts read-only and lists the roles to grant.

On EVM, grant them from your wallet and the token moves to Operate: issue, freeze, register identities, list for sale.

XRP Ledger and Cardano tokens import read-only, and history that can't be rebuilt is flagged.

For issuers and fund administrators: bring your tokens, and run them in one place. Book a demo at libertum.io.
