We all know the ICO market is kinda dead right now. Not many good projects are out there. And if there is indeed a good project there is the fear it won't go well considering how the 2018 was for the ICO's. The last ICO I invested was 11 months ago and I don't even to get started on how it went and all the problems there are even now. But regardless that, I've seen the hype shift from ICO to STO. Seems that S in STO is really giving security to the investors.
STO in the other hand is not another utility token (most of them have no utility at all), but actually gives you shares on the company and you have some return on your investment just in e few months. Obviously not the whole investment but you can see smth entering your wallet.

My question is: Will 2019 be the year of STO?

We might be leaving the ICO stage in cryptocurrency and now the emergence of STO reffered to as (Security Token Offering) in which required to comply through liscensing required by the law. In other words STO is an upgrade of ICO that might be the start of another bullrun and the resolve to security on our investments.

Guys, please could you explain what's the main difference between Sto and Ico? I mean: 1) can everyone to participate or t's only for accredited investors? Will the tokens be listed on an exchange or not? In a few words: how can I make a profit?

There's no a lot of differences and it just like when you were seeing so many icos used IPO rather than used ICO to avoid the compliance but this will not make this STO will be directly compliances with the regulation that created by the regulators.

STOs might be the revolution the market needs but getting regulatory approval is a difficult task and it's hampering the progress of many projects.

People stopped investing not only for the scam but also for the bear market. Because in this condition of crypto, making profits is very difficult. So, ICO market has almost stopped, at this moment some STO projects are doing well but not every STO! So, I don't think 2019 will be the STO year. If the bear situation ends then we can hope an STO era in the crypto world, not before.

I see no difference in an STO and an ICO, they are both digital currencies, they only difference is that they are categorised differently and STOs has a much stricter rule than an ICO because they are heavily regulated.

I think that it's too early to say that 2019 will be a year of STOs. I think it's more suitable say that it will be im 2020 when the market will recover from this deep and long falling.

Until the bears leave the market and crypto growth begins, the “STO” will also not enjoy popularity. And judging by the pace of the market, it will not happen soon.

You're wrong because the crypto currency market status can not stop the growth of STO because the mode of investment applied by the STOs is different and secure than ICOs cause STOs brings liquidity to investors which the reason why almost 97% STOs in the current market were participated by alot of investors around the world.

Maybe STOs can give a feeling to investors about security and legalization but there is no reason to ignore ICOs. Scammers are looking for new methods for stealing other people's money but it is not easy nowadays. STOs can prevent this fraud trend and ICOs need to adopt to these new ecosystem.

STOs managed to arouse interest. But I think the ICO process will continue for a while. Binance is preparing for the ICO for a project after BTT. And these moves of Binance reaffirmed the view of the ICO.

Yes, but there will not be the same excitement as in 2017 around ICO projects. After increasing the STO of projects, investors should start to return to the market.

I think STO can be popular seeing in this way investors are safer. but as long as the market is still down it's hard to get investors interested. so as long as the market has not changed, STO and ICO will succeed.

I haven't learned about STO, for me in 2019 something will come as a surprise. maybe one of them is this STO. because I hope there is a technology that can replace ICO. maybe this could be an ICO alternative because ICO is now mostly fraud and many die.

The market should come to a balance, I hope that it will be so, it would be to the benefit of all of us and investors and projects.

We will probably see more STOs than ICOs this year. Whether or not this is the year of the STOs still depends on the project of course. Investors will invest based on different criteria and not just because it is a STO.

The difference between ICOs and STOs is just the token's function and definition. If the project fails, the token will be worthless, calling it and defining it as STO will not make any difference.

It was very simple to collect investments with ICO in the early times. However, it became harder day by day. And right now it's really hard to get the investment. STO is a new idea. It's not clear if it'il work. If it works, the ICO period may close.

I see that everyone is discussing ICO and STO from the point of view of investors. However, in my opinion, we are here primarily bounty hunters and I would like to hear how the transition to STO will affect bounty hunters and their earnings. If STO is tokenized shares or tokenized assets, that is, externally, these will be the same tokens that we will receive in our wallets, then for bounty hunters, the transition to STO changes little.

I really think both of these lack real long term sustainability. This is why both ICO and Sto have struggled to make impacts recently. Most investors are fed up with the struggles of both. I think a new kind of token offering has to be introduced. One that ensures the challenges of ICO and STO are completely checkmated. It's only a matter of time before we see anything remarkable.

when compared to events like last year, it seems like today many are trying to lead new investor hype and also to make the market recover with new products and they try to use STO. , If this is the goal, maybe they will just repeat the same mistake. ICO and STO has no difference in this case. The point is they just need new investors Grin
