With all the current knowledge that we have about STO, I think this article gives a clearer and more in depth insight. But the question still remains, will STO really present the final solution to Cryptocurrency fundraising?

First, STO stands for Security Token Offering in which investors owns shares in the project. Secondly, till date I have not seen any successful STO (I stand to be corrected), they come with the hype but ends up falling could be that investors are not interested or they find the other type of token offering to be better, that is IEO. Also, since STO has not be successful till date, I doubt if ever it will as even the IEO model is gradually lossing it's hype, if at all there is any (hype) remaining.

There have been a lot of posts about STO, so you don't have to try to do a similar job to promote your website. Also STO is not possible in this market, I have not seen any successful STO projects since 2019, all of them are fake and are just taking advantage of it to collect money from investors.

for the entire existence of STO, I have not seen a single project that was successfully launched. This is an invented abbreviation that causes interest among stupid investors. Money is not insured here and smart people already realized that this is a simple scam scheme.

The STO can be called the most unSuccessful Token Offering method ever. It was used for a very short time and very few projects, and was not very popular. It was not very likely to be successful anyway.
Moreover, they were very cumbersome due to legal requirements.

In this market, activities that make a lot of money are the trend. I realize that STO is no longer a hope. all are just meaningless safety for investors. provisions protecting investors is there but again showed that they have no right to decide on the project.
I see Binance IEO as one of the trends now. it guarantees profit for investors and at the same time guarantees benefits for them. If you have the money, you should join IEO at Binance, do not invest in any other projects.

I think this is the problem, 'the market' shouldnt be the cryptocurrency market, for STOs 'the market' should be the regular equities investors. Talking about a real STO, this would entail that investors invest in equity (in other words stocks) that are tokenized, so it would be similar to investing in any other start-up or company that has an equity offering. The problem with the crypto market is that there have been too many companies that tried to get rich quick and abused the system which means there is a general distrust at the moment.

Real STO must have registered in the local authorities. There was a lot of requirement to run an STO. Dude, financial report has already become the main thing that must have gotten by investors.
In crypto STO has different meant caused by it has been used as a re-brand to get the demand caused by the decrease in the popularity of ICO.

STO means Security Token Offering and it's not good for Investing because they always fail, STO have been a game changer after ICO failed in 2018 but every single one of the STO project I knew failed

No STO project is doing well, as far as I can tell ICO is like 70% better than STO, sorry to say STO is a big failure and no single STO project came forward to prove this wrong yet, maybe it will be possible on future but not now

No need to apologize if what you say is true, because we have seen and felt how the STO project and the ICO project are working, so the basic conclusion is proven, so there is no need to apologize to anyone if it is true.

STO are tokens that promises dividends.The rate of dividend maybe fix or depends on the net profit of the project. Some of these STO are actually regulated and audited. But many projects has started to misuses the term and call every of ICOs as STOs. So, there's no difference at all unless you find a project is actually regulated by any entity.

That link is actually a link to a blog post article trying to inform people about STOs and what you mentioned regulations around STOs, its not an advertisement. Exactly for the reason you just mentioned, that STOs and investing in general can be dangerous, it is important to get more information about STOs and regulation, which that article tries to give you.

On your point on what an STO is, I disagree, projects could call themselves an STO but in most cases that would not be true, there is a difference between claiming to be an STO and being an actually STO. Therefore having the information to discern what is all required to be an STO, regulations, company and financial registrations, country specific rules like accreditation is very helpful. A project cant just create a token and be an STO, they will have to follow actual rules like with an IPO or any equity offering. So it would be very helpful for someone who isn't aware of those rules to read an article like that to gain more information what they need to look out for to check whether or not a project claiming to be an STO is actually offering securities and following applicable rules and regulations.

I understand your frustration around all of this, due to the history of ICOs and blockchain projects, that is why information is important!

Couldn't agree with you more, you made some valuable points there about sto that anyone with less knowledge of it should find useful and research on, it is actually not enough for a project to just call themselves an sto project, they have to follow all required procedures to be consider as one, out of the many project presenting themselves as sto, only a handful (if at all there is any) are actually an sto project.

Thank you for your support on this matter! I used to think myself (1-2 years ago when I first found out about STOs) that any project offering a part of their profit to be distributed to token holders was immediately a security, problem is, it legally should have been a security but a lot of those projects didnt follow proper protocol. To be fair there wasnt a lot of regulations around crypto at the time so it was a bit of a grey area and as long as the company actually did what they promised there wasnt much harm but still especially now its important that companies that are an STO follow proper protocol so investors are at least a bit more protected.

I see STO as an ICO. A tiny bit different legal status, but the idea behind it is the same and also the risks.
It is most probably an over simplified view and may be also only partly correct, but it's good enough imho and easy to understand for those who were here in 2017 and 2018.

Yes, I have also never seen a fully successful STO project and gave everything to the participants who promoted them, now STO is no longer in demand by investors, because investors now only believe in IEO projects that are in large exchanges.

Beforr the STOs are one of the main funds generator machines but that is only a tale. Some say STO can even surpass the ICO process but to be honest its now dead. Meaning those projects under STOs havent made successful to their investment plan. The profits and the safety of any investment cant really be secure, so these STOs are not really gonna work up. People decides whether they are gonna invest on it, win it or lose it. With its structure, investors will likely go for an IEO instead of it. As results are being shown like thr current IEO of cartesi.

STO stands for security token offering. It is a process similar to an ICO where an investor exchanges money for coins or tokens representing their investment. However, unlike ICOs, STO’s take it a step further and distribute tokens that fall under the status of securities. They are linked to an underlying investment asset in a way like stocks, bonds, real estate investment trusts (REIT) or other funds. As such, security token offerings distribute securities. These are tokens that are fungible, negotiable financial instruments with attached monetary value, like a part of property or company. Security tokens are not traded on regular token exchanges. Exchanges that want to offer security token trading need to fully comply with regulations, including extensive investigations into token listings, data sharing, and investor onboarding procedures. Thus, security tokens trade on specialized exchanges.

Rather than wasting everybody's time by spreading your trash website, here's a shorter explanation on what an STO is for everybody.

An STO, or security token offering, is the latest way for half-baked blockchain projects to extract money from unwitting idiots that think absolutely every cryptocurrency will pump or appreciate at some point. Most of these are formed by companies or individuals with little to no experience developing products, and few will achieve the heights they aspire to.

Odds are if you invest in an STO you will get rekt, just as the case is with ICO and IEO investments nowadays.

There is a reason only accredited investors can invest in IPOs in most countries!

Thanks for your overly biased ideas about the STO ,but i don't agree to you at all, you sounds like a " know all things" person but the reality you're isn't. I'd been into STO for almost a year and it goes well i never regret investing through an STO. You know man it's all depend on the project if it fails or not.

Lol, any fund raising today is dead, I think you are like years late in asking STO will be the solution to the growing scams in the crypto industry. The much touted IEO, who was hype earlier was supposedly the solution, but look at current situation right now, it is almost dead.

The only thing that make its afloat is that it is supported by top tier exchanges. However, even those projects was just hype and whales are the one who are raking big money from it. So to answer your question, No, STO will not be the solution, sorry to burst your bubble.
