A huge number of ICOs, which were held in 2018 with more or less success, can only argue with a huge amount of scam in the ICO. It seems that the 2018th year was and will always be mentioned as the year of the ICO. The year with the number 2019 has every chance of getting the name “The Year of STO”. Why?

Yes, that is the question. Even in Wikipedia there is not yet (at the time of writing this post) a page with an explanation – what is STO? Meanwhile, Security token offering is a fully developed, effective and powerful tool in terms of market development. At the same time, experts call STO a new IPO – not even ICO! Why so highly praised? In STO, a token is a security with a corresponding registration. Security tokens offer mechanisms of classic stocks, buybacks, accrual of profits in proportion to the ownership share. It is important! Because it is understandable, familiar and close to classic investors. After those scam ICOs, funds, and already private investors, simply deleted ICO from their agenda. And all the money (which still remained after the hype, pump and scam of 2018) now, in 2019, are ready to invest only in STO. This is a clear and familiar tool for professional players, in fact – tokenized IPO. Only cheaper.

Among the many plausible scenarios for the development of cryptoindustry in 2019 (which all interested experts and media voiced with great enthusiasm), “the arrival of STO to replace ICO” confidently holds in TOP-3. Why? After all, no one has canceled an impressive result of 2018, which was announced by a solid Forbes: in 2018, the ICO raised $ 11.6 billion! In essence, the ICO model was not bad. It offered high-yield investments in a start-up, which, if it showed X-growth, would give an X-return on investment, too. But upon closer inspection, it turned out unpleasant details. The authors of the project actually sold tickets only to their still unrealized project (tokens). And did not sell shares in their business!

Tokens in ICO is an opportunity to pay for a service that does not exist. They are suitable for resale, but they do not have long-term value. There are no assets behind these tokens that give them value. In fact, all the favorable impression from the ICO was spoiled by scam projects . In 2018, there were more than 50% such projects. Detractors claim that even 90%. If private investors, after they lost, could continue to look for happiness in the new ICOs, then institutional investors disagree. They need guarantees! And ICO does not give such guarantees. And even in the case of progress in regulation, which can, of course, be assumed in the near future – all these multistage pre-sales of unrealized projects are no longer attract the whales. Hype passes, and those projects that are confident in their success, are ready to take responsibility and give guarantees to investors. In that case – who will invest in the ICO?

Unlike utility tokens in ICO, security tokens are tied to real securities that represent tokenized assets. They represent often the real capital in the enterprise, play the role of a “digital share”. But they can also be used to divide owner’s rights in relation to a wide range of assets, from real estate to art, and give a number of other rights: shares ownership, dividends, inflow of finances, payment of debt, voting rights, etc. These rights are fixed by smart contract that manages security tokens. Since their value is backed by securities, security tokens are considered an investment. Regulatory requirements and reporting requirements are imposed on the companies that produce them. This is especially important for institutional investors. The release of security tokens occurs under the supervision of regulatory authorities. Supervision leads to the protection of investments and gives investors more rights. Regulation may include tax reporting, monitoring compliance with established requirements and additional information transparency. Security tokens are less risky, since they are characterized by material rights. These are not just “promises”, but real securities in digital form. Delight at the new way of attracting investment is only growing.

Perhaps this is a new hype? On media platforms, a statement by AmaZix Head Of Advisory Jose Macedo has distributed:

– Although the utility token is not dead yet, the industry has realized that only a few of these token models really make sense in terms of long-term value. As a result, we are seeing many projects that turn to us for help in carrying out STO or restructuring ICO in the CTO.

What is AmaZix? At least $ 1.3 billion, which the company has helped to attract for more than 100 projects (https://www.amazix.com). As for the subtleties, Jose Macedo also stated: STO-projects will be launched mainly in friendly territories, such as Malta and Gibraltar, where the regulatory framework has already been developed. There will be slower progress in the USA due to insufficient (and in some ways excessive) regulation.

Taking into account the obvious growing interest of the institutionalists to the security token, optimists predict that STO will occupy 10% of the global securities market by the end of 2019. Well, divide by two. 5% of $68,5 trillion is also very good money!
