Black Manta Capital Partners

What Black Manta Capital Partners does

Black Manta Capital Partners (BMCP) is a BaFin-regulated, MiFID II-compliant investment bank focused on digital asset tokenization and Security Token Offerings (STOs) across European capital markets. Founded in Luxembourg in 2018, the firm operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries BMCP GmbH (Munich, BaFin license BaFin-ID: 10155626), BMCP Consulting GmbH (Vienna), and BMCP Securities S.à r.l. (Luxembourg, LEI 213800Q41Z3SIAK7MQ72), with operational presence extending to Cork, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Toronto, and Boston. BMCP serves issuers seeking to tokenize real estate, startups, SMEs, commodities, and fund interests, as well as investors seeking regulated access to digital securities; vertical emphasis is on real estate investment funds and corporate issuers seeking alternative capital formation through blockchain-based bonds.

The firm's product suite centers on the BMCP Investment Portal (a regulated web-based STO distribution platform) and Tokenization as a Service® (a registered end-to-end service covering technical, financial, and legal aspects of converting asset rights into blockchain-based smart investment contracts). Supporting services include Capital Market Listings, Securitization, Tied Agent Services, and Advisory, plus the ETH+ Performance Linked Note (an Ethereum liquid-staking yield product for professional investors) and the BMCP Wallet Card (EUR 39.60 physical cold-storage card manufactured by the Austrian State Printing House). BMCP is also a node operator on Polymesh and Canton Network, integrated with the Global Settlement Network's GSX ID for cross-border KYC/AML/KYB, and a co-founder of the GRADE cross-border standards initiative. Notable executed transactions include the Tigris Invest Berlin real estate STO (EUR ~11M project, ~EUR 2M tokenized), the world's first fully-digital private bond financing UK affordable housing (GBP 15M, 2021), the BoxDepo real estate RWA on Canton Network (2025), and a Dravanti Group framework targeting up to EUR 3B in tokenized assets (2025).

Revenue follows traditional investment banking economics — placement fees, structuring fees, management fees, and success fees on tokenization mandates — with no public pricing disclosure. Capital has come from strategic investors COSIMO Ventures (lead, March 2024 and August 2020), SORS Digital Assets (August 2020), and Bridgetower Capital (December 2020); all round amounts are undisclosed. The ownership group includes founding partners Alexander Rapatz and Christian Platzer alongside Managing Partner Brian Elders. The firm remains small (1–10 employees) and is actively expanding across asset classes, blockchain rails, and geographies, with a notable 2024–2026 cadence of partnerships, product launches, and node-operator roles.

Direct peers

• Securitize: Securitize is a leading tokenization platform for digital securities, offering DS protocol, transfer agent services, and investor onboarding. It directly competes with BMCP's Tokenization as a Service offering across real estate, funds, and corporate securities issuance, and is listed as a BMCP technology partner.
• Tokeny Solutions: Tokeny is an institutional-grade tokenization platform on Ethereum focused on compliance, identity management, and securities lifecycle. Tokeny is BMCP's first BaFin-licensed Multi-STO Solution partner and competes head-to-head for European STO mandates.
• StegX: StegX is a global ecosystem for institutional real estate investments via a NextGen marketplace. BMCP and StegX announced a strategic partnership in July 2024, combining BMCP's regulatory expertise with StegX's distribution — directly overlapping on tokenized real estate offerings.
• Tokinvest: Tokinvest is a regulated RWA platform headquartered in Dubai. BMCP announced a strategic alliance with Tokinvest in June 2025 to accelerate RWA tokenization for institutional and retail investors, placing both firms as directly comparable regulated issuance platforms.
• Polymath / Polymesh: Polymesh is an institutional-grade, permissioned blockchain purpose-built for regulated securities. BMCP became a Polymesh node operator in February 2024, making it a competing infrastructure/issuance layer for the same European STO market.
• Defactor Labs: Defactor Labs offers institutional-grade DeFi structured products (Alpha Bonds). BMCP listed Defactor's Alpha Bond offering on its platform in July 2023, making them both issuers and platform partners in tokenized credit products.

Broad incumbents

• Ondo Finance: Ondo Finance is a leading RWA tokenization protocol offering yield products and tokenized Treasuries. Pat LaVecchia, BMCP Senior Advisor, founded Oasis Pro (now an Ondo Finance company), creating direct executive overlap. Ondo's broader scale and asset focus make it an incumbent benchmark.

Regional players

• Blocktrade: Blocktrade is a European centralized digital asset exchange. BMCP Senior Strategic Advisor Christian Niedermüller was previously CEO of Blocktrade for 2.5 years. Both target the European regulated digital-asset investor base with adjacent (rather than directly competing) offerings.

Emerging players

• Oasis Pro Markets: Oasis Pro Markets is an SEC-registered broker-dealer and ATS for digital securities, founded by Pat LaVecchia (BMCP Senior Advisor). Both compete in regulated tokenized securities issuance and trading, with Oasis Pro having US regulatory reach that BMCP lacks.
• STO Market: STO Market operates a global secondary marketplace for tokenized securities and is listed as a BMCP partner. It overlaps in the tokenized-securities distribution layer but focuses on secondary trading rather than primary issuance.
