What is a security token?

[Tulen1990]

Been seeing a lot of questions about securities. Here's a good article explaining what they are: https://blog.polymath.network/what-in-the-world-is-a-security-token-8f27b39e6b1b

In my opinion, securities will be the future. Creating stock market 2.0 on the blockchain would mean 24/7/365 trading. Some big things for the crypto community this year.

Thanks for sharing! Just received my POLY tokens since they're distributing them today. I even sat and watched them distribute it live LOL: https://youtu.be/juvaaWQOgTA

It blows my mind that the wave for securities is coming so quickly. First with polymath and now with projects like Gibraltar blockchain exchange. What a time to be a part of these types of projects. Polymath isn't even listed on exchanges and they're going for $1 lol

Security tokens are physical devices used to gain access to an electronically restricted resource. The token is used in addition to or in place of a password. It acts like an electronic key to access something. Examples include a wireless keycard opening a locked door, or in the case of a customer trying to access their bank account online, the use of a bank provided token can prove that the customer is who they claim to be.

The token security is a physical device authorized by a user of a given computer service to facilitate authentication, token security is also used to prove one's identity electronically (as in the case of customers trying to access their bank account).

Security Token is a security alert given by a company to maintain its data security. Usually companies that use Security Token are banks.

this year is absolutely a year for cryptocurrency. there will be very much project inbounce ^^

a token security is base on the platform which it was released.
so I think a token even more secure than that coins. cause devs can add some more securities feature over the platform coin.

[AlisaWhishie]

Great article indeed, but it hasn't mentioned very important (to my mind) detail: security tokens are subject to federal securities regulations, so it may make the situation with crypto regulation more complicated. And of course, this type of tokens will not be accepted by that part of the community that values their anonymity and fights against such procedures as KYC.

[CryptoRama]

I agree with the concept, but I think it's just another way for the elite, to gain control over whole world of blockchain, well it will be, in the future, the only up side is because of scams and for companies, to not fail in less than one year of their operation.

[Navneet1120]

As the name says security token, these are the tokens used for security by most of the companies these days.

[Talat10gu]

Security is the main difference of cryptocurrencies, I work with Monero, as an example, and its security is so good that makes it the most anonymous altcoin for me.

[romeolopez21]

Articles are so interesting and I hope that the amount of safe tokens will be rising. Nowadays I know only one really safe alternative cryptocurrency and it is Monero.

spectre is a security token too?

Anyways, i read this in the link --> "Polymath’s security token protocol embeds regulatory requirements into the tradeable tokens themselves, which are available to verified participants only"

So, for the first time in crypto the market when you can trade financial assets will be regulated?

It is very convenient to follow the news about Security Tokens   👍🏼

Security Token Offerings should not be considered just like the new ICOs. It is a completely new thing, which has its own pluses and minuses, but the biggest difference is that they are backed by something real

Thanks for the link. Sure, security tokens are like an stocks at the traditional market. They bring the profit to their holders, but this type of tokens should be registered at special committee like SEC.

Security Tokens are the future!

Here is the article to know about the security token and how to launch the STO

[Fugger]

At Bitbond we launched the Bitbond STO, Germany's first Security Token Offering. We also created this blog post that relates directly to your question. We strongly believe that security tokens are the way investments will work in the future.

Now I strongly believe that some persons don't really check out the date a topic was created before making reply which really piss me off, how can you reply to a topic that was created at january 2018 and still thinks that the op who created the topic is still yet to know what STO is all about, even though no one in the forum gives a good answer as to what STO is all about, I believe that he could always find a way to search it out and study it.

[ziggy21]

Incredible article without a doubt, however it hasn't referenced significant (to my brain) detail: security tokens are liable to government securities guidelines, so it might make the circumstance with crypto guideline increasingly confounded. What's more, obviously, this kind of tokens won't be acknowledged by that piece of the network that qualities their secrecy and battles against such techniques as KYC.

[Red-Apple]

all tokens are the same, the initial step and the final result are important that is not change by chancing the name. they are the same as ICOs and the firs step is to copy the code of some other shitty ICO and find something hyped up to put in your name. the final step is then to dump the shitty ICO you created and be on your way out.
"security" tokens, "exchange" tokens, "initial" tokens are all the same and go on the same path.

Security token means regulated/ Licensed token, and its investor's money will be protected by the team crowdfund! We thought security token will be the future or it will rule this year, but day by day our thought becomes lie! Because most of the crypto people did not accept STO, because people love to stay anonymous, they love decentralization in crypto! That's why STO projects are suffering than ICO! Only IEO is ruling 2019!

They are I think public or private security offerings that make use of the regulatory body framework like security and exchange commission or it is Ontario security commission in Canada. And it is actually a way to offer investment products through the channel of blockchain. STO is going to be the trillion dollar business in future with it getting all the illegal things properly canalized.

[ttcsalam]

  Many people are ruining their capital on the day-to-day market. That's why everyone is looking for security tokens. The pic is very good. However, I think that the tissue that is being sucked into a token market can be a big challenge. Get results.

[mrdeposit]

STOs were better when it was created. Now IEOs are seen as a more advanced offer. And this will continue without stopping as long as sales continue. So, IEOs çan be better for today, but it will be better absolutely.

[Kucink]

Secure token that you mean is STO.
STO is ultra safe token that mean's you will never get a scam or fraud in there.
it have very good security for investor and will never make you get lost of your token.
but STO need a much money to lauched it, that's why STO is never been a trend like ICO and IEO.

[sergei1703]

Security token it is like a stock, which is regulated by a law. But I don't believe in a security tokens as well as in security token offerings.

[Alisha FR]

the function of security is to maintain the security of tokens while trading or storing assets, I see that there are many tokens that are beginning to improve the quality of their tokens, so security is the most important thing especially the rampant theft of tokens so that the cryptocurrency can be trusted by the public.

 security tokens investment smart contract which stands for  legal ownership of a physical or digital asset like real estate, ETFs etc.. This ownership must a means to be verified within the blockchain network
