Anyway you can read it here, it's an interesting to reading related to this: https://www.investopedia.com/tech/2018-year-security-token/

Good luck!

I think it is early for tokenized version of securities but if you mean those that are not utility tokens it can be. They are mostly more valuable than utility tokens.

"From my point of view  this is  premature for tokenized version of securities.
As far I know the security token price increase this year. I think had better you search bitcoin forum here you find informative post about this
"

Security tokens, though new in Crypto space, it is very famous in the financial market or public market which is controlled by SEC. Security tokens will be more famous than most of the tokens which are actually utility tokens, as for it is offered for future or physical asset which is far better than the currency in trade and in price also. Having more stability, security tokens are the future.

In 2018 security token’s improves a lot  I hope and gradually it will be much better. So we can keep a hope with security token’s .

I've heard many reviews and commentaries on that even I have heard that Ethereum and some of their major coins would become a security tokens, who knows what it can cause of them but really I think it is not that bad that many people are thinking.

Nothing can be predicted accurately in terms of crypto market. Many experts believe strongly on the blockchain and believes it’s going to do great in 2018. If bitcoin shows a great performance in the future then we can expect that other coins and tokens will perform great too, be it security or utility tokens. We are at the Q3 of 2018. Who knows what crypto has in its store for us.

I guess the security token trend has started when the bitcoin source code has been published by someone and there was a coin that has created as a security coin called namecoin.
But the security token becomes more familiar with us when ethereum was releasing the network and it has been putting an easy way to generate the asset that have used by so many icos.

I'm not entirely sure if security tokens are more abundant now because as I see it, exchange tokens are the ones taking the spotlight. Most of the ICOs now have their exchange as the main idea of the project and the token would be used in their ecosystem.

This year will not be the year of security tokens. This year will be the same as the previous one. Technology will develop and regulators will think about how to legalize the crypto-currency market. I'm really looking forward to 2019, because I believe that it will begin a great development and adoption of bitcoin, but this is just my wish.

Security tokens are very nice. These are based on blockchain technology. Which is going to be the highest profit taker in 2018. The demand for security tokens in the market has increased tremendously. I think it will be better in the future.

Security tokens will surely be big, simply because they are easier to do a track record with them, it is super safe and immutable. I can see it slowly happening somewhere in the next two years

Security Tokens are based on blockchain technology. That's why it is more relaible and potential. I think it is more profitable token. It is top one in 2018. It's future will be better than present.

All coins that act as a securities are illegal in most countries. All coins that started as ICO should be securities.  Countries have different rules how securities gets started and how are regulated. Until those laws will get changed all security coins organizers will have to defend themselves on court.

As far I understand that you mean security token. From my point of view security token is the connection between bolckchain and the usual financial system. I think this year security token price rise.

I don’t think it’s really the time for tokenized securities. It can be possible if those are not utility tokens.

In 2018, more and more ICOs will take the path of issuing security tokens, because it is the right and sensible thing to do, for them. Many of the ICOs to date have struggled to create a “utility token” in their economies.

In my own opinion i don't think 2018 is the year because regulators like SEC still go after project that made their tokens a security tokens, many people are afraid to invest into security tokens because of regulation and project are avoiding tagging their tokens security because of regulators, so it's not really possible.

Security is always important, especially in this area. I think that smart contracts will be able to improve the security of transactions in many spheres and will relieve the world of part from intermediaries. This is wonderful

I have heard that to the buzz going around quite strong. Security token holders are entitled to ownership rights that give them a stake in a company's assets so it would be great if it keep on rising this year.

I think I support it. Most utilities tokens hasn't been fulfilling what they are intended to achieve and hence security tokens are more to be taken serious in ones portfolio than any other tokens.

2018 witnessed the arrival of many ICOs, of which the potential for ICO campaigns was only 20%. The remaining 80% are scam ICOs. Saying that 2018 is the year of the security Token is not correct because most ICO projects still use Ethereum's ERC-20 Token technology.

We can't say that this is the year for security tokens, maybe the begining. Since most of ICOs now are regulated under SEC. Well we can't blame them with millions of complaints around the world regarding multiple fraudulent activities in the crypto space. We can only say it is the year when the time it booms, or it will be fully accepted by the majority of the community of the crypto currencies.

I saw a lot of tokens which divided utility and security.
The security for trade and becomes subject for federal regulations.
Utility tokens are created for project's service and not as a investment.
As far as I know, both can trade. You should investigate them in Google.

Society is tired of scam projects, as well as cyber and crypto security is a matter of big discussions. So the security tokens will be more spread this year.

To start with security tokens are the tokens that return dividends, but I don't agree with you that 2018 is a year of security tokens, currently agency like SEC are against offering of security tokens and we have seen them going after some project that are security example is the CTR token, So Idon't think 2018 is the year for security tokens. 

Progress is not in place and the market is developing daily . And of course the coins and projects become safer . so in the near future, scams will be less  )))

As the regulations and the technical infrastructure move very slowly, it is too early for the security tokens to be a dominant player in the crypto market. I don't think security tokens will be very popular before 2020.

I have oposite opinion. As we can see 2018 isn't a year os crypo in general. There are a lot of coins which show terrible falling down of price. And many people don't believe in blockchain already(

Any evidence to back your claim that 2018 is the year of security tokens will be appreciated. To me utility tokens are of the rise since most ICOs of late are mostly utilities tokens.

if in my opinion this year token tokens might not be safe but are down, there might be tokens that are tokens as security tokens, so many are afraid that investing in security tokens may be rules and avoidance of security tokens, maybe that can be

Hopingly it will be starting implementing that in this year 2018 because it can be a big help to us as a crypto holders. When that happen it can be possibly easily to find the scammers and hackers because for sure there will be a tracker that can be detected the in and out transactions of our cyptos. I hope that it will pursue soon so we can have a much safest way of holding and keeping our Cryptos to our wallets.

The term security tokens is something that most ICOs try to avoid being termed as and that is because the regulatory space for security tokens are very sketchy right now and the SEC has being taking measure to ensure that only legal or accredited investors are able to invest in the token sale for such tokens.

Most of the people do not invest their money in bitcon and other crypto currencies, because they are worrying about their investment, that they will lose everything they have. I think that it is too much important to improve the security of crypto currencies and that the investors get some confident and invest money in crypto currencies.

Unlikely, I find this year the price of the whole coin goes down, there is no reason for the market to rise and also no basis to say that 2018 is the year of the cipher market.

I'm not sure but like you are saying only if there is a reason the market will rise otherwise it will stay in this crippled trend.

It does look that way. Given that the tokens are a very new thing, it is getting a good response in the market and seems to be running efficiently among the users.

It seems to me that there is no sense to link 2018 and cryptocurrencies since this is not very successful. I am sure that the year of cryptocurrency and tokens is 2019

Definitely not. This year, nothing incredible has happened, so I can't say for sure. I am sure that we still expect such a year

Security tokens? I think it is quite unclear. But if you mean tokens that have security projects backing them, then I agree to that, because of security hunt will be on the rise and security tokens will be interesting this year to a lot of investors.

This year was determined like the best here or there but I don't see reasons for these statements at all. Security has to be every time and the year doesn't metter.

I do not trust this security token and projects very much. I do not think they will survive in the future.

I think it takes some time for tokens to fly in the community and include security systems.
If cryptocurrency can secure from the pishing website, then I make sure it can be the best this year.

I think it is. Since we all know that many is stabilising insurance and security platforms inorder to protect investors in cryptocurrency world. It could be a useful tool for a long term use.

mostly thats some exchange doing now,they secured more and more tokens in order to wait the bullish happen in the crypto market,because everythings now are not profitable,because of the bloodish market,therefore in order to survive the dumps situation they mostly convience  the investor or the bounty partcipants to secure the token in the exchange,and wait for the bullish would come.
