Bitbond is a Berlin-based fintech company that has evolved from a blockchain-powered lending marketplace into a leading platform for asset tokenization and digital securities. Founded in 2013 by Radoslav Albrecht, Bitbond holds a full financial services license from the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) and has been a pioneer in bringing regulated blockchain-based financial products to market in Europe.

In 2019, Bitbond made history by issuing the first BaFin-approved security token bond (STO) in Germany, raising 2.3 million euros. Since then, the company has focused on its Token Tool platform, which enables banks, asset managers, and enterprises to issue tokenized securities such as bonds, equity, and fund shares on public or permissioned blockchains in a fully compliant manner.

Bitbond's technology stack handles the full lifecycle of digital securities, including issuance, custody integration, corporate actions, and investor management. The company partners with established financial institutions seeking to modernize capital markets infrastructure through tokenization while remaining compliant with European securities regulation, including MiFID II and the EU DLT Pilot Regime.
