Can someone explain me the differences?
I know, more or less, what an ICO is, but how does the STO protect the investor?

STOs are a method that wants to offer investors a set of guarantees. But the basic ICO is not different. Through the STO, the investor becomes a little safer thats it.

Yeah there are STO projects already but not i guess only few of the team are sincerly would like to get in an STO project because they could not do well in making money for it will be for the good purpose since it is being regulated by the government. The team could also be put in jail so definitely this is why only few are doing STO.

The main difference of the 2 is that, ICOs are the sale of coins, purported utilities or even currencies however, STOs are the sale of securities. STO has no regulation afterall, ICO is better and we all knew about its success over the years.

Security tokens offering is finally the solution what ICO investors needed. Every investor that hold STOs is qualified for passive income from company´s profit.

Is there an particular exchange that STO tokens are getting listed or are the Security tokens going to also be listed on known crypto exchanges like bittrex?
I'd like to see list of security tokens

Are they're going to be more valuable than the regular Utility tokens?

I also have these questions running in mind for a while now. I still do not understand the whole process with STO and how it works. Throw more light if you have the knowledge please.

I hear STO is supervised by the SEC, so they can guarantee investor funds safely. different from STO, ICO is too free because that's a lot of fraudsters who make Scam projects.

Don't quite understand what STO is different from ISO, but to know there is a significant difference,I can only say that all things that happen are not always so to say are more use,ISO well coped with its task,unless of course would have been less moshenikov,but it is possible that STO could do better

You can compare STOs to Shares. They are registered with the SEC and even rated, so eg scam attempts are not very likely.

This is one of the reason why DESICO did not pay their bounty hunters they are registered to the SEC and they only want real investors to their project and they don't dumping of their token, they should at least compensate their bounty hunters, now no one here trust them.

You are right,Desico hurts many with zero information before taking any moves ,they just migrated to STO which no one saw it coming and the issue with many bounty hunters not getting paid is alarming ,if I can remember clearly they even forced KYC on participants after bounty end ,they have thrown investors trust out the window

Maybe there is some serious difference in this. But now it seems to me that there is no strong difference in this. I am sure that there are so many possible differences that will be realized in the future. But still it is only a thought.

Yes, that is correct. However, scams and bankruptcy no one canceled. Agreed, still way less risk than with ICO.
I guess Security Token Offering will be a new trend in 2019, as ICO's on the current market is not making much sense.

Some are already list in exchange like hotbit,GARD token is an example, you can check it out.
It terms of value, I don't think they will be more valuable, but you are rest assured that your funds are not invested in scam when you buy into STOs.
We all know the high scam rate in ICOs.

Already many blockchain experts, investors and media outlets are calling the new year as the year of stos. Personally i would say that icos will be taken over by stos and the real deal will be security tokens for few years from now on.

STO represent Security Token Offering, meaning one who buys in gets an equity or share in the project. ICO is the traditional Initial Coin Offering which just implies one buys the token of the project, it must not be a security token. I think many people are more eager to know about STO but some ICOs in the past still sold security tokens to the community. Let's see what the future holds for crypto.

STO's are more like holding the equity of the comapny or the project and becoming a part owner of the project with share in profits and more benefits so i would say that sto type of projects are more previledged and have more real world attraction also they have already got green signal from many countries. Upcoming time will be the boom of security tokens.

Of course there is a difference, ICO = Initial coin offering and Security Token Offering (STO). The Security Token Offering (STO) provides a feature of an innovative approach to collect investment capital, especially for individual investors, while also providing transparency needed by investors to be safer and more disciplined. I think it's more convenient to enter STO.

STO are registered securities similar to stock
There is some noise about STO but still we don't have them
I have been reading that platforms for STO trading will come
I don't think STO will be traded on popular crypto exchanges maybe yes but iw will be possible only for big accredited investors
we will remain with our lovely ico

Since you already know what ICO is, it will be easy for you to also know the meaning and intent of STO.
Just as a reminder, ICO is a means through which a startup, body or business organization raise fund to finance a project through blockchain technology. Which is also the same as STO.

The only difference is that STO is supposedly registered under a regulatory body by law.

the difference is that the sto are regulated by the sec so the investors will be somehow protected and there will be less scam, on the other hand there will be the obligation of kyc for both investors and for the bounty hunters

This is a good definition. Remember that STOs are more restrict than ICOs, but it usually means it can be safer, although not necessarily.
