Will STO survive?

[JohnMacZeppelin]

It seems to me that nothing good will come of it obviously, because I can confidently say that the ico platforms, which will be improved to a normal state, where developers will be pursued for scam projects, it seems to me that they will look better.

STOs as a fundraising model is just starting and it seems it will stay for a while before a next evolution comes. It may even be decades. There will be some hurdles and early stage flaws and mistakes of the development, but STO will be much better structured than the ICOs.

[takngantuk]

I see STO is the solution offered by the SEC for crypto projects that are looking for funding. this glance is good because it's safer. but investors seem to have a little trouble because there is no freedom to invest. and currently there are still many investors who are still interested in ICO. so I think STO still needs time to adjust. and I can't predict whether STO will survive or not in the future because it's still too early.

I think it will last, STO is the best solution at the moment. investors get guarantees for fund protection. This resolves the crypto project fraud problem.

[ABDUL86]

After scam and many fraud sto is a very good concept and it's also give new flow to cryptocurency market, security of coins are very important now and I hope sto will give some output.

There are drawbacks to this. For example, STO = a lot of regulation because government should check all your operations within the framework of the current legislation to ensure the rights guaranteed by STO. In addition, only accredited investors will be allows to take part in STOs, so, the the idea of crowdfunding on blockchain platforms will die.

STOs can only survive when the companies keeps being profitable. If such projects don't have solid offline investment or solid project, in times like the ongoing bear market, they won't be profitable e ough to pay didviden once dividend payments stops coming every holder dumps it turns out like a ponzi scheme. It's only time that will tell.

STO seems to look more serious than ICO. Security tokens guarantee revenues in the form of, for example, dividends, while utility tokens were mainly speculative, which resulted in a lot of losses due to the bear market. That is why I think that the STO can be more interesting in the eyes of investors.

[frost_wind]

I think Security Token Offering will totally replace Initial Coin Offering in next few years . It looks like the popularity of STO is growing and since this method of attracting investment has less disagreement with regulators it will become very popular

[Jating]

STO hasn't take off, and yet you are asking for the survival rate?

I guess everyone is really afraid of something new, specially bounty hunters who joined in 2017 which netted them huge amount of money one way or another. So I'm would assume that majority doesn't like how the game has changed, but as the saying goes, "if you can't beat them, join them".

It may take some time before this whole STO will sinks in, but I'm sure bounty hunters will have no choice but to embrace and adapt it if they wanted to continue getting paid doing bounty campaigns.

I think it depends primarily on whether this model will justify all the hopes placed on it. If the investors' money will be reliably protected, and at the same time make a profit from each STO conducted, the crypto market will continue to grow very quickly.

[yarelydiaz]

Yes, 2019 is called the year of STO (in any case, this is what PR managers say to each other), and at crypto/blockchain conferences - ICO is no longer perceived as something serious. However, there are many aspects of STO that the project development team will have to deal with, like:
-filing forms for SEC
-you must write and register investment prospectus and PPM.
-make a stock sale agreement
-release the token to one of the platforms for the production of ST
Also needed to connect the KYC provider. Well, and a few more important details. So will STO survive? Of course Yes, quality projects will be more and less scams, since all these procedures will help weed out non-viable projects.

[oudekaas]

I think it depends on the market situation. If the market stops falling, new projects will survive and develop their products. But if the market continues falling, new projects won't have enough funds to survive.

[ElenaN]

It is quite possible that it will become a new format and will help restore confidence among investors!

[Ostonian]

At the moment, many potential investors no longer want to participate in the ICO, as there are many scammers and so on. STO is more like something real, especially the fact that the investment will go to a real-life project, and not to the air and the dreams of developers. It is quite possible that this will indeed be a new global trend.

[neli234]

Securities token or stable coins are expected to help regain market growth. What is the specific trend, we will have to wait until mid-2019 to discuss further

[Quintrix]

Though STO looks good and look like is coming to change the face of crypto,we even thought that it will help investors regain their confidence in crypto but withe strict government regulations that them covered, imagine a project that has got a lot of applause from people like DESICO is been tag a scam just because of some regulations which they claim that is not permitting them to pay bounty hunters.My question is,do you think STO will survival? with these strict regulations because many are afraid already.

Desico the first known project that shift to STO is considered scam by the bounty hunters and maybe by investors, so one project started it on a wrong foot, but we still have to see the other STO that will be coming over and we'll also see the future of bounty hunters if they allow us to promote them.

[nreal]

I think it will exist, just now there is no complete regulation for STO. I believe that when the regulations are completed STo will grow strongly.

[bettercrypto]

I'm not sure if STO will experience the success experienced by ICOs last 2017 because STOs are regulated. There are investors here in cryptocurrency who do not want regulations. Though there are some who wants security so STO might survive. STO offers less scam and fraud.

[disconnectme]

Some people are painting STO as the new Messiah in the space, ICO is a good concept born out of sincere heart but abuse of the process happens and make things to get worse for investors and the whole space but looking at STO is better designed as compared to ICO because the team will have to report to regulators which we do not have before and bring about transparencies, some of these projects failed not because they are bad ideas but because the developers diverted the funds to another things because no one will ask them questions. I just hope this time we try as much as possible to resist money grabbers spoiling the party for us again
