Security Tokens will be the next big megatrend of the blockchain revolution.

Before the security tokens, we have seen the emergence of Cryptocurrencies, Smart Contracts, Utility Tokens, and now Security Tokens in the blockchain revolution. The majority of tokens released claimed to be utility tokens to avoid any friction with the SEC but in fact, they were actually security tokens. Utility tokens are also named as app tokens, reward tokens or user tokens. STEEM and SBD are designated as Utility Token by ??? for the time being.

Just like 90% in a room full of crypto enthusiasts don’t know what a crypto security is, neither do most regulators.

What are security tokens and what is the buzz all about, what is on or what is coming to the market?

MyBlockShares Corporation:
MyBlockShares Corporation is taking the best elements of a traditional private fund structure and merging them with Blockchain technology. They will use predictive analytics to manage and invest that capital in a carefully selected portfolio of stock market sectors with the goal of maximizing returns providing investors access to the stock market through tokenized shares in the MyBlockShares Corporation Alpha Fund.

To understand what security tokens are, it is crucial to understand securities.

Securities are tradable financial assets such as bonds, debentures, notes, options, shares (stocks), and warrants. And if we take the example of stocks, you might understand that it is a way to own a part in a company without taking actual possession of it. Companies and governments use this method to raise money from capital markets from various investors. And then these investors are promised a return in the form of dividends or interest rates or share of company’s profit in some form or other.

Security tokens are cryptographic tokens that pay dividends, share profits, pay interest or invest in other tokens or assets to generate profits for the token holders.

The thing that gives me the most confidence that Security Tokens are the next big thing is the quality of people dedicating their lives to Crypto and Security Tokens. Now I am one of them after looking whatsup@whatsup elgeko@elgeko and steemitqa@steemitqa deep into their eyes, you can find them on Steem Chat on Discord, they live there.

How do you see these challenges around security tokens? Will they get solved in 2019? If yes, how and if no, why not?
