Blockchain has been responsible for a drastic upheaval in how investing and fundraising is perceived by the general public. Tokens were initially provided as part of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and it gave access to a particular network or services.
In contrast to ICOs, STOs (Security Token Offering) are legitimate financial securities that offer the same functionality of traditional security which enables fractional ownership. STOs are subjected to federal laws and strict regulations -- they are developed to protect the interest of the investor. Security tokens are in the blockchain, and smart contracts enable them to behave in a particular way.
Blockchain smart contracts are programmable to make automated payments for bank loans.
Security tokens have started to be preferred over the IPO route. Security tokens issued under prescribed regulations have been found to be more cost-effective when compared to the conventional method.
These tokens give investors a channel for portfolio diversification without compromising much on dividend generation. The token may also provide investors with particular voting rights and ownership of shares of a publicly-traded company.
The issue of securities needs registration with the SEC. This is often a complicated process that costs a lot. There are several regulations such as Reg D, Reg S, Reg A+, and Reg CF that govern STOs, and each has its own proprietary protocol.
