Libeara, the tokenization platform incubated by Standard Chartered’s SC Ventures, has closed a $14 million strategic funding round led by global market maker GSR. The round also includes Openspace Capital, Kyobo Life Insurance Group, AlloyX, Kaia Investment Partners, Simsan Ventures and Monk’s Hill Ventures.
The Singapore based firm plans to use the capital to expand its tokenization infrastructure globally. In March, Libeara secured a Capital Markets Services license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, allowing it to distribute tokenized funds and securities directly rather than relying on third party licensed entities. The platform has supported more than $1 billion in tokenized assets across multiple fund relationships.
Among the investors, Kyobo Life is notable for its growing tokenization activity in South Korea. In March 2025, it was designated as a trust business by Korea’s Financial Services Commission for security token issuance to finance aircraft engines. The group also has tokenization collaborations with Japan’s SBI and SBI Digital Markets.
