They will become the standard. STO is much better than ICO and this new trend is because people really like the idea, something like this wouldn't stay alive if people didn't like it. I compare it to provably fair of casinos in cryptocurrency world, STO is kinda like provably fair and gives us the look of how fair it is.
Hence people will start to move into investing into only STO and will not invest into ICO unless its done by someone really famous in crypto space. Would you gamble somewhere that doesn't have provably fair right now when there is an option to play with provably fair? You wouldn't do that.
People will see it exactly like that and none of us will be investing into something that's not "provably fair" so to speak. It will not only survive but will become industry standard.
Topic: Will STO survive? - page 5. (Read 21214 times)
STOs will survive, the more pertinent question is will they thrive? I have to think that it's quite likely that many projects and contributors won't transition away from the ICO model. STOs are only really a benefit if trying to comply with SEC regulation.
but nevertheless, today there are some problems in this regard. I think that many developers understand the essence and will be able to solve certain issues so that even real ico companies will become more successful. But what interests me more is the possibility of Bounty companies and their conditions in this case.

For me Security Tokens Offerings looks more legit than classic ICOs. They are under regulations and they can not easily scam people as ICOs can.
STOs soon will replace all ICOs.

I think so! Crypto really needs regulations to overcome such a bad condition! Without regulations, we have seen a lot of scam ICOs, coins last year, and almost billions of USD was taken from the investors! People lost their trust from the ICOs! So, STO is now demand of time! Investors will regain their trust in crypto projects and overall it will helpful for the total crypto community! So, STO survives! This is just my opinion!
To be honest, STO is a really non-working technology, I am sure that ICO will continue in the form of integrated smart contracts that are already on the market and can work in with your finances. you understand this?
Security token no doubt will be a safer bet than ICOs, it'll be to a certain extent more convenient for investors to put their money in it,as with the inherent governments regulations on them,the possibility of a scam STO, will be on a lesser degree than that of ICOs,but just as the OP has said,its definitely not a safe haven as there could still be possibilities of minimal scams,the fact that they embody regulations doesn't mean investors should let their guard down,you ought to still make marathon researches on them
Security token is nothing more than a normal token with additional regulations. If regulations are added to a normal token it is proclaimed to be a security token. As such, the security token is regulated by the government bodies and should be compliant with the various SEC regulations. It can also be penalized by the government bodies for not complying. So a STO is more or less the same as the ICO with added regulation to it. Because of the increased security and because of the improved credibility, this is good for the investors but it doesn't imply that the STO will always be successful. The buyer has to be responsible for his decisions and capable to access the quality of the STO he is about to invest in or otherwise he may lose his investment.
I don't know why so far I understood the security tokens this way, which is a bit different from your explanation.
A security token is one that is not essential to the usage of a product or service. They are actual financial securities, meaning your tokens are backed by tangibles like the revenue, assets, and profits of a company. Just like stocks you can trade them or keep them as you wish.
Security token offerings are financial securities because they mimic traditional shares. These types of tokens give investors some rights to the company. When you buy a share in a company, they usually carry a specific set of rights and obligations. Voting rights would be a good example here as well as shareholder dividend payouts.
And what does make an STO a real STO? The fact that it is compliant with applicable legislation on securities.
Even though an ITO or ICO is regulated that doesn't make their coin/utility token a security, they don't constitute financial securities. They don't pay you dividends.
This how I understand and how I am witnessing by following HYGH what is a security token offering. There is no product "based on blockchain" and all those ICOs bullshit. The blockchain is being used for issuing the security token that pays you dividends. Then it is up to you whether deciding to hodl and receive passive income or trade them when the price starts mooning.
Am I understanding STO wrong or?
There are lot of confusion about STOs as different different jurisdiction have they separate regulation which will be challenging for the STOs to work globally with at time. STO can be big thing if they come up with this solution or else they will fail & if they succeed to defeat ICO model than then its sure some dishonest peoples will also launch scam project to take out the money of the investors. take recent example desico
Security token (STO) has a very high standard of operations, you can not just wake up with an idea and start to raise money with STO as there are rules and procedure you must follow, you must also qualify to be able to hold security token event! I think the most difficult part of STO is tge minimum amount of money you have to pay regulstors!
Sto can be the next big thing and it has a bright future. Because as long as company making profit you are getting share. Not like utility tokens.
Yes, this project has shown itself not from the best side and has undermined the attitude towards itself as something new and more protected than what it was before.
STO (Security token offering) is in my opinion a new trend for following years giving more confidence for investors who didn't participate in 2017/2018 crypto rush.
I think that there won't be such a huge hyip and surge with STOs as it was wit ICOs due to proper regulation. When STO age comes there should be some kind of trading regulation (somehow
) as well. We haven't seen it yet and we don't know if we will not give it a try for its run maybe for a year or two.
There is a away that you can look at how is going STO now. Mobu project is trying it.
STO starts in 23 days later (February 1)

I am not sure it will work. We will see together.
Clarifying the concept of a security token https://tokenmarket.net/news/security-tokens/what-are-security-tokens/
There is no such financial instrument as a security token..
Tokenising an investment deal does not make the investment itself more attractive. .

The argument that bounty hunters are not being paid because of some regulations as regard DESICO STO to me is suspicious, If that be the case really, why not pay bounty hunters in USDT or Ether and charge it as cost of advertisement to company books. STOs will improve the s[pace, mynfear is that the regulations will not be too stiff as too cripple creativity
There is actually no difference between STO and ICO i use to think there is difference an example of that is DESICO claiming to offer security token, they are selling ico in the name of sto also they didn't register under any regulatory body.
The truth is STO and ICO is the same the difference is just change of name.

Though STO looks good and look like is coming to change the face of crypto,we even thought that it will help investors regain their confidence in crypto but withe strict government regulations that them covered, imagine a project that has got a lot of applause from people like DESICO is been tag a scam just because of some regulations which they claim that is not permitting them to pay bounty hunters.My question is,do you think STO will survival? with these strict regulations because many are afraid already.
Desico is a bad example, the regulator has forbidden them to pay security tokens, but they could pay bounty hunters with ethereum, but greed did not allow them to do so.Nope, the regulator did not forbid them to pay their bounty hunter but instead it was an excuse. And every country has a different perspective about STO(security token).
let's back to the topic.
based on what we were seeing, they failed to meet up their desired level of funding. That was why they did not want to pay their bounty hunter.
and yes, they could pay the participant with ETH. but they did not want to, because of the greed and expenses.
P.s : do not forget that Desico is a scam project, they did not use their own personal data.
Maybe yes but it really depends on the use case of the project, STO is just the same with ICO with more security, Upgraded version of ICO, They are just replacing the name but it is more attractive to investor, KYC for both investor and the team feel much safer.

Have you seen polymath? and the polymath team has paid the bounty hunters. Bounty just a way to create a massive promotion to the STO/ICO or even IPO. Desico is such a garbage STO. STO will not survive, whatever you called that as ICO/TGE/STO or IPO as long as it was filling all of the regulations and it will be fine.
