Investing in Leondrino Company
Up to this point, all developments of the Leondrino platform were funded by the founders themselves and via two Seed Rounds and Convertible Notes by angel investors.
We have been focussing on concrete pilot situations in our lead market Germany and concentrated on developing the building blocks of our Leondrino platform. Based on increased demand for digital currencies and assets, and with the tailwind of the new crypto regulation in the EU (MiCAR), we want to provide global brands with the best possible services to issue their digital currency via our platform.
Leondrino is currently preparing for an extensive financing round, which is expected to be completed before the end of 2024. Significant factors driving Leondrino’s forthcoming growth phase are the market opening for cryptocurrencies and crypto-assets, depending on the outcome of the U.S. election, and the European MiCA regulation (MiCAR), which provides a strong foundation for the widespread adoption of stablecoins. This creates new opportunities for companies across all industries to leverage the benefits of blockchain for process efficiency, cross-border payments, and treasury management. The MiCAR regulation will come into force in the EU by the end of 2024 and has already been applied to stablecoins since July 2024. Coming from utility tokens as the initial form of corporate currencies, Leondrino is preparing its platform and organization to enable the highest classes of Leondrino tokens to serve as the preferred pathway for issuing corporate currencies in the form of stablecoins.
Interested investors are invited to contact us via the following e-mail address: investor@leondrino.com.
Investing in XLEO – the Native Token of the Leondrino Ecosystem
The Leondrino Ecosystem needs a bridge and reserve currency in the long term. This currency is intended to support fast and fair transactions between different enterprise currencies. This native token of the Leondrino Ecosystem is called XLEO and will serve as the universal stablecoin within the Leondrino ecosystem. The general advantages of stablecoins will be made available via XLEO to medium-sized companies that do not have a sufficient number of customers or transaction volume for their branded currency and are unable or unwilling to participate in a corporate network of such a branded currency.
Corporate customers of Leondrino Germany can already use XLEO as a utility token to pay their fees at Leondrino.
XLEO Momentum Special
With the approval of Bitcoin ETFs in early 2024 and the Federal Reserve’s expected interest rate cuts throughout the year, the value of Bitcoin has experienced significant volatility. If Trump wins the election, a regulatory initiative for digital currencies and assets in the U.S. is expected in 2025. Additionally, based on promises made by Trump and his Vice President, J.D. Vance, it is likely that the Fed will begin purchasing Bitcoin, and potentially other digital currencies, in a structured manner in the medium term.
We anticipate that, following a Trump victory, there will be a sharp increase in demand for corporate currencies, including Leondrino, starting as early as 2025. To prepare for this, we are not only expanding our team but also accelerating the rollout of the XLEO Token.
As part of the XLEO Momentum Special, we are offering special terms for purchasing XLEO tokens before the U.S. election.
The current standard selling price for the XLEO is €0.70. Currently, the XLEO offers utility value exclusively to corporate customers of Leondrino Germany. For these clients, each XLEO has a purchasing power of €1.00. It is planned to introduce additional use cases for consumers in the future.
Retail investors can buy XLEO directly through their Leondrino Wallet with a 40% discount if the purchase is made by Election Day, November 5, 2024. For purchases made from November 6, 2024, until January 31, 2025, retail investors will receive a 20% discount. Retail investors can purchase a maximum amount of XLEO per transaction and per month, in accordance with the standard limits for Token Class C – see info page on Leondrino Token Classes.
Qualified investors and asset managers working at family offices, VC firms, or token funds who wish to invest larger amounts can contact us by email at investor@leondrino.de. Depending on the investment amount, an additional discount is available, with the XLEO Momentum Special applied based on the two deadlines.
You will receive a contract proposal for a purchase agreement (Leondrino SAFT – Simple Agreement on Future Token) and/or a loan agreement proposal with an option to convert into tokens once they are publicly available (Leondrino Convertible Note), in accordance with your investment commitment. If you’re interested, please contact us via e-mail at investor@leondrino.de with the subject “XLEO Token” and the desired investment amount. We will then send you the informational materials and the corresponding contract proposal.
For further information on the XLEO Token please visit the XLEO Token info page.

Statements of Sandra Leonie Ritter and Peter Reuschel from Leondrino in an interview with Gereon Kruse from boersengefluester.de
Peter Reuschel:
“Simply put, we are a service provider for issuing private currencies. Leondrino is a trademark of the Leondrino Exchange for digital currencies. Leondrino is a new class of digital currencies that combines the advantages of money supply control via central banks and the technological advantages of digital currencies including cryptocurrencies and avoids the disadvantage where possible.”
Sandra Leonie Ritter:
“We plan to introduce our own bridge and reserve currency of the Leondrino ecosystem, called XLEO. Thus, we are pursuing the following goals: we want to create liquidity at the point of sale with extremely short response times and thus raise the acceptance of new Leondrino currencies. On the other hand, we want to use our own reserve currency, in addition to fiat currencies, to do intervention support for individual Leondrino currencies e.g. in the event of attacks by competing brand currencies in the same industry. Our long-term goal is to make XLEO a very stable digital currency.”

“It sounded quite utopian when I heard about the Leondrino concept of private branded currencies at the TEP conference in New York in 2014. The idea of using a brand currency to create a loyal community – and finance the growth of a company as well was so disruptive and crazy that from the very start I believed it could work.
Two years later, I met the founders again, this time in Berlin. The Leondrino idea had matured to a coherent concept. The current discussion around token-based financing of startups and crypto funds demonstrates Leondrino Exchange’s potential. I am delighted that this trend is being decisively influenced by software development from Berlin.”

„Currency management for their customers. Improve customer retention. Now showing their wallet. Now this is kind of interesting. It’s an AWESOME UI but what’s different is that while lots of companies have mobile wallets this seems to be a mobile wallet designed INTERNATIONAL FIRST.
The graphical interface is so good it’s hard to tell if it’s an app or browser based. I’m betting it’s browser-based. Really slick. While this is something I may never use I’m very impressed with their demo.
From their web site: Leondrino Exchange, Inc., located in New York, introduces a new type of branded virtual currencies, called Leondrino, that are related to the current and future business of global brands.
With its LEX Platform, Leondrino Exchange combines all tools and services necessary to manage the life cycle of both loyalty points and Leondrino Currencies and to meet the requirements of safety, privacy, security and regulation. The LEX Platform provides a valuable foundation for data-based business models in several industries, e.g. Financial Services, Entertainment, Energy, Transportation and Healthcare.“
Money isn’t what it used to be. Leondrino has created a whole new way of exchanging value. They are creating private virtual currencies. These are linked to well-known global brands.“

“The world needs crypto money. (…) Crypto Money is reputation money. It would be desirable that sovereign central banks gain the reputation for crypto money they create in competition with other providers, rather than enforce their money in the monopoly as legal tender. “
Thomas Mayer revisits the topic crypto currencies and helicopter money in his latest article in the newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeinen Sonntagszeitung. He refers to crypto currencies as reputation money.
Leondrino is the new type of virtual currency, which combines the benefits of the monetary policy via central banks and the technological advantages of virtual currencies, including crypto currencies. Compared to other virtual currencies, Leondrino are backed by the current and projected business data of the respective brand. For each brand, Leondrino will have a customizable name, reflective of the brand name. Therefore, Leondrino are branded currencies.
