Topic: Will the era change from ICO (Initial Coin Offering) to STO (Security Token O) (Read 676 times)

We thought that this will happen, but forget about them. Now IEO is on the rise. Soon we will see a next rally which exchange will offer better token sale. VeriBloc was sold in 10 seconds, after Binance few successful token sales, Bittrex decided they also didn´t want to miss the train.

ICOs are in a very bad status compared to previous years. Even yesterday there was topic that 'deposited money to ICOs reduced 5800%'. This is a big difference, and can be seen easily.

No, I do not think that we have finally moved away from the ICO because now I understand that a huge number of people still will not refuse the usual ICO, because there it is much more profitable to collect funds than at STO or somewhere else.

IEO had been around for a while, it is not new.  Many coins had used exchange as platform for their crowdfunding, some were still here, while others where already forgotten.  No matter how it evolves its name, it is still crowdfunding and scammers are exploiting this kind of system.  It is nice to see a system where developers and project owners are fully identified and required to process legal documents regarding fund collection so that investors are protected.

indeed, to be able to participate in a number of projects you can find in several exchanges that hold IEOs, from there maybe a little success is guaranteed because all team security and projects offered must be really potential and much needed by many people to make the price expensive and does not make the name of the exchange place not good.

I think that right now we are moving towards another funds collecting method and I am speaking about IEOs. I hope we would finally find a good structure where everybody will get a chance to purchase those tokens and to get profit.

So far, ICO (initial Coin Offering) Is the most used crowdfunding by the projects. Well, now probably ICO still becomes the most popular.
However, it doesn't limit the other systems such as STO to be applied. STO also offers some benefits that lead this process of crowdfunding becomes more interesting, trusted, and also secure to avoid the scammers.

STO is done and it's over, OP doesn't know what he was talking about. We have so many solutions to invest in ICO through IEO. STO already disappeared and no one interesting used the name of STO again. it's such a fail rebrand from ico because most of STO claimed they already registered but the fact they are not.

It might change because people are not anymore interested in ICOs since so many of them are scam. Let's see if STO can offer them some kind of advantage and stop scammers from opening so much useless projects. Honestly I dont see any big difference between them so STO will die a lot sooner than ICO did

Adding desico on your list has ruin the total list because desico project is very tricky and not straight forward ,they have been unfair with bounty hunters in the past so I don't trust them ,even just because they've switched to STO doesn't mean they are clean I'm better off with IEO this days

Despite the fact that the Securities Initial Offering (STO)  is a more sophisticated and legalized form of crowdfunding compared to Initial Coin Offering (ICO), I think both methods will continue to function. Mainly institutional investors will invest in the STOs, and all other participants of the cryptocurrency market, including those who want to preserve their anonymity, will invest in ICO projects.

I don't think the era will change from ICO since there will be so many new  ICOs especially today, and there is a new kind of token offering which named IEO and its held by the exchange.

Security Token Offerings (STOs) have arrived but are yet to really hit the mainstream because Initial Exchange Offerings (IEOs) are quickly starting to win over some of the crowd funding market share, however this won't mean the demise of ICOs as they will still be used for certain applications especially where utility tokens are concerned or where less restrictions on who can participate are an advantage

Yes and we are currently already moving towards the STO paradigm. Investors have more trust to STOs, because as far as I know there are not so many security token offerings that ended up as a scam project.

Sold out in 2 hours.
They will sell little by little from tomorrow until around 27 days.

I am pretty sure that STOs will replace ICOs. We have searched for a method that could protect crypto currencies investors from taking part in scam projects and STOs are finally allowing such an option for all participants.

KIZUNA GLOBAL Inc. will do STO's IEO at COINEAL.

It's not about STO.. it's about public sale. I wish I could buy tapn but unfortunately the tokens are being sold privately. After their partnership with brave people got crazy about it but they cannot profit from it. Anyways I tend to agree with you!

I also think like you. Now there are too many scam projects. Investors are hard to trust to invest in ICO. If I combine both, I think it will increase confidence for investors

I am honestly really excited to see how these play out in the long run. I think STOs will be successful especially Polymath's platform seems ideal for investors

I think sto will bring more trust to crypto because investors will feel like they are part of the projects that they've invested in. Projects like vaultbank, tap, tzero etc sell security tokens and they're doing pretty well

I think that the era of ICO is already changing, as now STO appear more and more often. I think that in the future will be more stringent regulation, because at the moment STO is not much to decide.

What is important in STO. Which institution was authorized? And is there proper management?
We constantly need to investigate information and obtain reliable information.
Some ICOs are licensed. However, 99% crypto currency will not be licensed.
More information about next generation STO is necessary for us.

I think that today there is not much difference in general. Therefore, I think that here and there have their own security holes. Therefore, I think that all this is temporary. In general, it is possible to use STO only if you really want to be fully verified.

Have probability and ico was havint it too. Can you tell me which STO the officially registered on the institution? we have so many icos already regitered in the various institutions that created by regulators.

STO still have more probability to accepted by regulation. So for now I prefer to give my interest on STO since ICO not showing a good progress since 2018. And more raudulent activity was founded on ICO.  We are missing the pride of ICO like 2015, 2016, 2017.

While it is safe to opine that security token offering is gaining some traction in the crypto-currency ecosystem I think initial coin offering will not be totally discarded. I see both existing together

Companies that do STO will issue security tokens and utility tokens.
Companies benefit from either, We can get a stable profit.
However, the participation condition will be more stringent than the ICO.
The rich get even more money, the poor are still poor.

I examined about KIZUNA GLOBAL Inc.
It seems to be offering DAG currency, exchange token, STO.
They have already done business.
And make STO exchange per 2019 Q 2.
In the STO project. I felt that the products that make the exchange can be expected to pay dividends.

Investors are trying to protect their investments, and the STO promises them reliability and safety. I think that the STO is a method of attracting more investors to the project. License SES it"s great a solution, but who will monitoring compliance with the law?

Great summary, are all STOs verified by SEC?
Because if not, if they note receive license from SEC then it would be a big problem. This said also McAfee few months ago, that without license it is illegal to run ICO/STO.

It is possible that STO will be the preferred option if only it is fully compliance and registered to the authorities to prevent fraud and to protect investors.

I guess not, since ICO became the frauds tool to caught the investors then Security Tokens will just replace it easy globally as you said. And i guess if STO will be fully implemented, investor will just look up to STOs and not to ICOs. Let's see what will the future of STO and just support if for now, that might be the next big thing on alternative coins.

Many ICOs are fraudulent and created only to enrich their founders. That is why the long-awaited solution to this problem was created - STO, a solution that will end the disagreement between regulators and the blockchain community. SRT, unlike ICO, never bypasses laws and rules, it will adhere to a certain framework.

BoltonCoin - I met the topic on the discussion forum of this project. This project had a suspicion of scam. What can not worry me. If anyone has any information on this project? Well, now they are distributing coins. I would like to know whether to join this STO.

In my opinion, this is all going well, so it is quite likely that some STO will soon be launched!

ICO will still be around for long ,no doubt but STO will be the most favoured because of investment assurance ,low limit to zero risk but I'm in or both, so why is desico on your list ? I don't trust desico

That's right. SEC approval is an important factor.
I will add attention.

Did you guys try to create a bullshit post before try to do any research about that? Can you tell me which STO that fully compliance and registered on SEC? none of them and there are some people were accusing bolton as scam STO.

After all the bad ICOs, STO will have a hard time asserting themselves. Especially as long as my no possibility to check whether the STO is really serious or not. That's why they are not much different at the moment and STOs have a hard time keeping up in the market.

The introduction of STO becomes a reality due to the recent ICO crashing last 2018 which led to some big players to make an STO rather a utility token which is very vulnerable when it comes to volatility. Yeah, most people become more fond of STO since they are given promises of safe and big returns with low risk factor. But is it really like that?

There was a STO information site.
https://stocheck.com

The appearance of CTO is certainly very useful as an alternative solution when dealing with ICO errors. But one can hardly imagine that the cryptographic community will exclude ICO. Perhaps they will share the market among themselves.

Yeah. Whether the projects on this list will succeed or not. It is likely to become a trust in future STO market.
I will monitor these STOs.

Maybe you are right STO will shift the ICO project. I heard that the STO project has a clear company, a clear business, a big partner, and a clear legal entity. But investing in the STO project requires a lot of money, because the STO project is clearer than the ICO project.

I remember the first appearance of the idea of STO. At first glance, it was not very different from the ICO.

The history of the ICO concept was very dirty. But the STOs are a big question yet. The projects you have listed here will give initial results for STOs.

I think it will not be easy for the stos to take over icos as for stos to gain more fame and hype they should be fully registered and compliant with regulatory authorities and to do that i think it is not easy globally but then again if fully compliant stos start coming i will fully support them as they will help the market to get rid of fake and scam icos.

Great list! You are absolutely right. The whole industry is changing from ICO to STO and that's where the real potential for the future growth of the market is. The companies you mentioned are only the beginning of the next crypto revolution everybody is so waiting for. I think 2020 will be the bloom of STOs and it if everything will be good regulated then the next bull run is inevitable. Let's wait a little bit)

It might look like the whole form is changing, but it cannot totally change. There will definitely still be ICO, but we still have some good ones. How are we sure that the STO that some people are running after will not disappoint.
What we need in the crypto space in trust accompanied with good projects and serious team.
We can have some reforms, but there will still be ICO.

I think we have moved into the STO era already and almost completely away from the ICO phase. There is no much enthusiasm anymore about ICOs anymore.

maybe, as long as investors are interested in STO. what's more now that ICO is dying, so I think sooner or later surely those who want to invest in a new project will definitely have STO.

If the purpose of choosing STO is because it was low fraudulent, it seems that this will also be the same as the ICO case that we are facing today. For example if there is an STO project that violates the terms and is proven to be a scam, who will act to investigate it?
After all, I'm also not sure that investors' funds will return

seen projects becoming a security token after an ICO so it looks like soon there will be more that is heading that way. this i guess is because of the regulations that is very strict to ICOs today. you can't even invest without filling all the information and sending the documents needed from you.


you can't just do anything about it but welcome to the new ERA.

I think it will not be easy for the stos to take over icos as for stos to gain more fame and hype they should be fully registered and compliant with regulatory authorities and to do that i think it is not easy globally but then again if fully compliant stos start coming i will fully support them as they will help the market to get rid of fake and scam icos.

ICOs will be back and STO is just government bs no one wants.

The market is in red zone for more than a year, so it's just the matter of time when the next ICO hype happens. I do believe that ICOs won't die and STOs won't take their place. Both types will be useful in a few years.

I also agree that STO will take place of ICO in next future.. it seems that investors totally lost faith in ICO market in the actual situation

BINACE's IEO has certainly been successful. I also joined.
But what if that IEO is also done a few more?
IEO succeeded by the reliability of BINACE.
And STO will be done with strict regulation.
I think that an era has come when unreliable ICOs are culled.

Security token is the feature of all tokens as the ICO market have suffered major decline in recent time because of the fall in the market and at that it will be in the favor of the security tokens to take over the whole market because confidence will be built by the developer since it will go through some form of regulations.

Recently, STO is no longer a popular keyword. STO could not succeed like ICO, Currently only IEO is successful thanks to the steps of Binance and in the next few months I believe there will be many other exchanges that will implement IEO

The truth remains that ICO is gradually phasing out but definitely won't phase out completely. Everyone is now talking about STO based on the fact that it's poised with lesser risk considering the doom most ICO have caused in the past.

Take a look at ICObench, they have had a new section of STOs for a pretty long time already. I don't believe ICO (now STO) trackers, because all of them could have their own interest in promotion of any project they list, but it's not that bad way to know new STO projects from them.

Thank you for information. I'll add them.

Sure it will. But it will take some time. At this stage it's still ICO most popular. For example Huobi Russia or DexAge. STO, more harder to launch. But it will be a good thing when it will start)

I believe in STOs future, finally investors are really interested in investing because STO give them passive income. Bytheway there are many more cool STOs: FABA, MOBU, BoltonCoin.

Currently crypto projects are mostly startups, they usually only have plans and ideas. Therefore there is still a lot of demand for ICO projects, because not every company has a lot of profits and long operating time like STO projects.

I think so, with the number of projects coming up and choosing STO model it might be the latest trend. Nevertheless, ICO will still exists but might not be like it was .

That there are strict regulations.
It is different from investors who are now. I expect it. Funds from new investors come into the STO market.

I think people's attitude has changed especially towards ICO and STO regarding their attitude towards risk. Many of us actually thought ICO were gold mine at one point but we have so many people who got burned. The SEC and many governments want to create a safer and a new stable ground for new investors in cryptocurrency and replacing ICO with STO is surely on their long list of the certain things that may adjust the market. ICOs are getting pretty bad coverage whereas STO media coverage is getting higher day by day. Time will say whether this Security offering will benefit investors given the volatile market condition of cryptocurrency and how quickly a project can get abandoned with people losing their money, hope and everything.

Scam is indeed the main content that will affect various subsequent projects. for me STO will be very interesting, investors and users of digital currencies, such as already starting to leave the ICO. they start looking for projects that are indeed far safer and have a far more realistic target.

I understand you described the living projects that are already present in the cryptocurrency market today? In which you can invest? What is the price?

And if ICO is launched at the top exchanges, I think it will be much easier to succeed than STO. STO is currently facing many difficulties to implement so we need to wait a long time to be able to see STO projects successfully.

I think it will take some time. I mean it can't happen in just couple of minutes, it will of course take a lot of time to just even be equals let alone pass and be the only one.

I think we just need to wait a bit and be patient but if we show more support for the STO's and stop caring about ICO's then people will realize that doing ICO is no longer the correct path and will start working towards making a STO. That is what this depends on, creators deciding on either ICO path or STO path, we need to make sure we wheel them towards the STO path by just funding them more successfully most of the time and not fund ICO's.

If that happens with time then we will see creators preferring to start STO anyway and ICO will cease to exist over time. Of course that is not something we can do in a year, it will probably take couple years at least.

it could be the problem if ICO like this continues to scam so the ICO will be displaced by STO. so from now on we all need to be able to eradicate fraud in the crypto world like ICO

the ICO are unfortunately much too unregulated and therefore scammers are often the door
and gate open. STO and IEO are also ridden but what the future will bring will be exciting to see.

It's undeniable that there is a growing interest in STOs right now, the fact that many of these tokens offer dividends attracts many people, they think that if the token lose its value, at least they can receive those dividends although, if the project turns out to be a failure they will not receive anything. However, calling your token a STO doesn't make it a STO, there are some requirements that not every project will be able to fulfill and if we talk about exchanges, there will not be many exchanges where it will be possible to trade these tokens. Thinking in the long term, I think things will move towards a hybrid model, projects that will be offering two tokens, one utility token and one security token.

The emergence of STO may not totally eradicate ICO because not everyone is interested in STO as a result of the strict regulations which some don't find interesting.

I think both ICO and STO will still exist on this year, but in my opinion this year will be more STO than ICO at least till the end of this year.
Indeed, I see a lot of scam based on "ICO system". but that's guarantee that in the future we didn't see "Scam STO System"
anything's possible.

ICO cant be extinct, STO seem to be the safer investment but above all it depends entirely on investors ,as for me I don't mind which one I invest in ,what matters is how good the project is

the ico will not disappear but will obviously have to share the market with the new sto, on a personal level i continue to prefer the ico to the sto that require mandatory kyc, we will see towards where the big investors will be oriented...

both of these methods are flawed and are being abused. that means they will both exist but they won't make any difference because so far they are exactly the same thing with a different name and people aren't stupid, they eventually realize there is no difference and the scam is happening with a different disguise so they stop using STOs as they stopped using ICOs.

It is highly likely. A token that combines both may become mainstream.

It is easy to take an ICO and take responsibility STO.
Which do investors trust?

Basically both ICOs and STOs will continue to exist as times goes on. Not all company will offer a ST20 depending on the companies project model. Not all offering will be a security so since there will exist utility tokens, ICO will continue to exist

The more new ICOs, the more funds are distributed.
Celebrities in crypto currency recommend STO so that assets are not distributed. I can see its future.

truly?
ICO fraud seems to be over 70%. Since STO is the same as stock certificate, I think that the probability of fraud is low.

Not so many people are interested in STO, even some people said if that was fully regulated but the team can't even prove it. If this based on someone's opinion and that can't be a strong reason. ICO is still exist and recently there was a scam STO.

Both crowdfunding models will continue to exist and operate. The question is more where the public sentiment will go, and I believe the STOs will be getting much more attention in the future. ICOs won't be extinct, though.
