Is STO just another waste of time?because i havent seen any STO project that became successful like IEO projects,if they are performing very well im sure i would have heard about them,the last one i was aware of is bitbond which many said its scam,same thing as desico,do you know any STO project that did well?

To be honest I thought that STO's are going to take over the market. I've told this to myself around December 2018 but I think we're seeing the reality here that IEO's are better trend investment rather than STO's.
What if STO's are just saved for next year when the market starts to pump again?

No one knows that for sure,if STO is going to take over the market starting next year it should have been performing better by now,i'm sure IEO will take over next year as well,not ICO not STO

You are correct, I have not heard any of them STOs doing 5x-10x and making a buzz in the crypto space. They probably stop or cancel that launch and rethink to just do IEOs. I know that STO are just ICOs that was given a new branding to create a new hype but completely failed. It's now just all IEOs which brings back the excitement back from the 2017's ICOs.

None of STO project did well and almost all of them dead. STO can't be trusted and ICO/IEO much better than any garbage STO. STO is only selling a lot of buzzwords and no more. They have made nothing and they create a self proclaimed to the regulation in the country that said they have already registered but the fact that they are not.
STO in this crypto space can be considered as illegal IPO.

Bitbond is not a scam, most people accuse them of fraud as bounty hunter. They did not call for $ 2.5 million, so they have the right to not distribute tokens to bounty participants. And just like you said STO has not had any successful project like the IEO

I'm just speculating and that might happen or not. Just like what happened for this year, IEO took over ICO and it became the reason why the ICO market started to die.

Yes, the spotlight that should be on STO has been taken by IEO. But this can change by a year or two if most of the investors starts to consider of leaving the IEO market.

There weren't that many STOs compared to IEOs in the first place. But yeah, so far STOs haven't really sparked a broader interest. Probably because there are still regulationary concerns especially when trading security tokens. I mean, there aren't really that many exchanges where security tokens can be trade (are there any?).

The truth about STO projects is many investors arent impressed by any of the projects,investors are more focused on IEO on exchanges like binance or huobi,even some ICO projects beats STO

IEO and STOs, are a complete waste of time just the same if you invest in them without any real interest in the project, without any real utility or product, etc. I would invest in any token sale regardless of type (ICO/IEO/STO) if I believed in it and it had a great plan and well thought out strategy. I've seen STOs now and they look just as crap as ICOs.

One of the successful STO projects is WPP Energy. But the price fall after the token listed on Digifinex and now the price of the token is very cheap.

I have never seen the STO project successful and have never felt the benefits, I often follow but have not received satisfactory results, the concept of STO is very interesting STO is a security token in the form of financial securities because the way it works is similar to traditional stocks.

STO and ICO is same, maybe the difference is only KYC
as i knew KYC is required for STO project, and maybe thats the main causes why a lot of STO project failed

This is why I treat every project in the same way. It's not that I was able to see some STO projects pop off because, to be honest, I haven't seen such a thing. The same thing can go to IEO's as well. I think the only difference is most IEOs can give you a guarantee that you are going to earn something back.

Indeed? I have participated in projects called security token offering (sto) but there were no satisfactory results and always used KYC. which I suspect from a project like that is afraid to lead to a scam. I really agree with you, bro

If care is not taken STO will be forgotten like it never existed in the first place,there is no single successful STO project on the market right now ICO is even better

Nope, all of them are the same in cryptocurrency.
people just do not understand what they do, there will be no 'real' STO if cryptocurrency remains unregulated. Because STO has a meaning if the government and the investor have a full control over their investment in case they are running away. That was why IEO came up after this STO. Lately you can see a lot of people choose IEO over STO because they started to understand the fact that none of those STO will survive for a long time. Because it requires regulation to support it and making it as security token.

Its just came out that IEO is better safe invested than STO project as they are both requiring KYC upon investing. Moreover, cryptotraders and investor open choosy with the project they want and it always look for best and potential.

as far as I know, STO aims to clean up ICOs that are only trying to raise money with empty promises and do not have a working prototype of technology, therefore a new way to raise STO (Security Token Offering) funds is emerging. so investors can contribute to companies with a high level of security. But why hasn't the project been successful yet?

STO fared the same way as ICO, lacking interest so that there were no successful projects, even though STO had received permission from the government but it still had no effect on sales

I think STOs are just a waste of time. Good thing I didn't give attention to it since IEOs are the new thing now. I didn't really expect anything from it. I just looked at it like another type of project that might be good or be bad like ICOs.

the same thing that happened to ICOs and the same exact thing that will eventually happen to IEOs has happened to STOs.
you see they are all the same thing. a bunch of people create a token on another platform by simply copying some code off the internet and give it an "interesting" name to get some attention. then they start raising funds for their garbage.
only gamblers are giving money to these things and we all know that all gamblers eventually either give up or run out of money. and as they do, these projects start failing faster instead of staying alive for a while and then fail.

STO has no scam but investors don't like it. Because STO projects often go through a lot of government inventories and it is very time consuming and costly.
Many projects have mobilized capital according to STO but almost no projects have been really successful.

It doesnt takes much hassle to hear about good or successful projects in crypto space and so far i havent come across any successful STO projects i think STO is a flawed.

With the hype that STO received then, and with all their full support form SEC, I thought that by now, STO would have even hijacked the entire ICO and IEO market, but I am so surprised too at the stage which they still are and it seems just very few people are talking about it. The owner of STO projects must really check within themselves to really see why they are not having it smooth in STO side.

Look at Bitbond who happens to be the first of STO, still struggling up to now to meet up with their hardcap while IEO projects has reason several times within that short period of time, and I think the only thing that is discouraging people about STO is the little interest that came with the investment.

During the hype of STO, I also rushed to see if I could participate, but I got discouraged after seeing their interest on investment.

Wrong. STOs aimed to make sure ICOs could still run without being hunted down by governments. Same as IEOs. None of these projects are interested in cleaning up scams. If they were, they would be doing insurance on deposits, they would be giving full KYC of themselves, they would be doing their jobs instead of spending money on themselves.

Tokenized STOs are in infancy phase. STOs on cryptos became a bigger thing just Just when the bullrun started, and they could also have high valued speculation phase during the next run.

But as in icos, you can't put all STOs in one bunch and act like they would behave the same. Results will vary.

The IEO is becoming a trend, and it will soon become the only option for all projects that want to call for investment. IEO through exchanges ensures safety, and investors are not worried that they are investing in a virtual project or a scam project. Traditional forms of calling for capital no longer bring attraction to current investors.

In theory, a fully regulated security token offering should lower the risk of getting scammed a lot. Because these projects have to file a lot of paperwork at the authorities (like SEC etc.) before they are allowed to have an STO.

STO is another hype, same like ICO, IEO. Another hype will be IDO on Binance DEX.
I do not care where I buy coins, I care about the potential of my investment.

IEO has probably solved what STO was meant to solve and it just died out. Haven't read any news about it lately. Maybe the pioneers are making some adjustments behind scene.

From what i know it is not reach it's softcap, not too deep about the project. Maybe waste of time for bounty hunters because i see if its project already held for long time. So when it is not success, bounty hunters not get any rewards.

bitbond came with a license from the german's regulator but it can't even reach the softcap. STO is not worth project and it's a scam and so many STO has been scamming the hunters after they have reached softcap as some people said.
STO in the crypto is different from STO in the stock market. In crypto, the creator of that STO was abusing its STO.

If we look at a development and interest of traders, which will have bright prospects and attention of traders is IEO and not STO. because the workings of STO and ICO are not much different.

The first projects that uses STO are managed by teams with no experience and many STO projects failed already which is why many investors are taking their eye off any STO projects,the way STO starts in crypto world is not encouraging at all and now i doubt if we will see new devs that will still want to use STO when IEO is gaining all the praises presently,im sure many devs will keep choosing IEO over STO/ICO for now

Nope, never heard any successful STO before. Almost all of them failed because lost is hype against IEO.
Bitbond, one of STO I have promoted I think is scam too. I just wasting my time for promoting their project and they just want to pay me with penny...

Security Token Offerings seems promising at first but one thing i have come to realize is most of them did not really survive all the regulations that they had to comply. For instance i heard of this project Organicco, they had some working products going on but currently their telegram community is dead with no major updates about the project. I think its best if we stick to investing into ICOs and IEOs till regulations concerning crypto projects get a little bit easier. IEOs however are taking over the investment platform and i have made nice profits from the very few i invested into.

I didn't even know there was a successful STO project. all ANNs that I saw in the forum stopped giving updates after the STO ended. I think STO is just a waste of time, it's better to invest in IEO because it's more profitable.

everything that happens to STO has nothing to do with IEO. pure error on projects that are less ready and less than perfect. that's what made the STO project fail to gain investor confidence. IEO is the same, because not everything is good. some have actually seen a scam from the beginning of the sale launched.

some of the STO projects failed to collect their softcaps. either because of the existence of IEO or what, but if you see IEO is also not very successful with only a few successful projects. maybe a factor of investor confidence in new projects is still down.

It’s development is not attributed to the activeness of the team at all, I think that people does not generally just like STO projects because it does not look interesting to them, do you know that the way ICO do carryout campaign is also the same way that Bitbond did too, and virtually on everyone’s wall, you could see Bitbond, but even at that,. Nothing could still be shown about its development.

I have always known that anything that government is involved is always very slow in developing; the reason why you see ICO and IEO always growing is because they are both acting independently. If not for the scam that is in ICO, ICO to me is still the best form of crowd funding program that I have ever seen, and I just wish that something could be done to eliminate scam to zero level in ICO.

People still prefer with IEO consider about the fact that it gives more guarantee than STO, so many investors have experienced with so many STOs are abusing the agreements and i hope they learn from there and never try to invest in ICO again.
STO is dead and it's the same as rest platform called TGE or something else.

I think STO is just an upgraded version of IPOs and that is why they are not gaining much recognition, if you look at it, you will see that IPO were the main method that companies do use to raise projects before, but this method met its downfall when ICO came into the market and many investor diverted all their investment from IPO market to ICO market, and if  may ask you, what do you think it is that really attracted people from IPO into ICO, despite the fact that IPO had security more than STO?

It was nothing but the big profit, the margin between the profit that IPO investors and ICO investors makes is too wide, and if you look at STO, it is almost the same pattern of IPO that they followed too with their very low profit return on investment which is not anything to write home about.
