ICO vs STO

[greenlanternlight01]

We all know the ICO market is kinda dead right now. Not many good projects are out there. And if there is indeed a good project there is the fear it won't go well considering how the 2018 was for the ICO's. The last ICO I invested was 11 months ago and I don't even to get started on how it went and all the problems there are even now. But regardless that, I've seen the hype shift from ICO to STO. Seems that S in STO is really giving security to the investors.
STO in the other hand is not another utility token (most of them have no utility at all), but actually gives you shares on the company and you have some return on your investment just in e few months. Obviously not the whole investment but you can see smth entering your wallet.

My question is: Will 2019 be the year of STO?

Most probably 2020 and 2021 will become years of a new STO hype. Don't expect any miracle during the bear market while everything is bleeding. In a best case scenario we'll see some really popular STO project at the end of 2019 and it will become a start of STO era.

ICO and STO actually have great chances. But in other way. Now it makes no sense at all to try to invest in STO or ICO if you have not previously looked at the meaning of the project and the idea of ​​the project.

Many people are gearing now towards STO's and I was looking for a list to search and peruse through at my leisure and found these: https://coincodex.com/sto-list/

There are not many listed here but it gives us an indication of perhaps what is to come and what will later on be more on trend as it were.

Here is another list that has some STO's listed as well:  https://www.listico.io/sto/list

I am looking through some really interesting ones and the POS merchant one has caught my eye so I will check it out later when I get more time on my hands.

You are right, ICO and STO are correlated with the market sentiment. That being said I guess a lot of investors have realized that STO actually have a value. And if we are to have a bullish market the money will go into STO and no longer in ICO. At least that's what I would do

Yes I think the era of ICO is over and STO will be the next option to switch. STO projects are well screened to ensured the safety of investors funds by the SEC. Those projects always have really idea, great product and platform usage to ensure token liquidity. Also investors are entitled to shares in the company for a period of time.
They don't need much hype, and you don't encounter unprofessional investors in STO as it minimum investment is much higher compared to that of ICO.

Its likely, As of now many projects are using STO to get funds from their investor, but reminders do your own resesech to the project that you want to invest to avoid losses.

I won’t agree that icos are dead
Either ico or sto, what actually matters in the Blockchain Technology is the product value

We need good projects not stos

[cupruri]

We are already entering the STO era and according to the last report of Coinmarketcap STOs are the next big trend. I have already seen a lot of projects that are offering STO and people seem to trust these projects much more.

[bttmember]

STOs are on the rise and im very positive about stos as they provide better trust level to investors as they become the shareholders also people are loosing trust in utility tokens after recent terrible bear run where the prices have gone down 10 to 20x and even more.

[CryptoBuds]

The real success of STOs won't happen without the next bull run. While bears are on top STOs won't become the next big thing. I guess the market will not show a good performance this year so I'd not expect STOs to become very popular soon.

[Bravext]

STOs are becoming a trend nowadays and people are beginning to notice them because even in this lowarket conditions, Genuine STOs are still making waves all over the world and are still raising large amount of revenue.

[ivaf]

I would hope so (the start of the STO market in 2019). But most likely it will happen later. Maybe in 2020.
The boom in ICO has passed, and I think forever.
Why do we have to guess? We'll wait a little longer and see for ourselves

Speculating things that isn't happen yet is very common inside this forum, we do assess things that we are hoping to gained success after, as this
new system got implemented we are still unsure what can be the effect as investors are still away from the market due to this bearish market that
still exist and extending its stay, we will be able to assess after full implementations got an impact to the entire market.

There are 2 main types of ST. 

1. is tokenised stocks which are ownership shares in a real company that behaves like a token.

2. tokenised real assets such as real estate.   tokens that represent a small fraction of an illiquid asset like a house.


whether or not 2019 is the year of STOs depends on whether people issuing STOs can make it good for the investors. it could bring about a new wave of investment in physical infrastructure and save the housing market just in time.   or just in time to buy the bottom of the market.  or the extra supply of real estate from tokenised real estate boom could make housing prices come down A LOT.   it's interesting let's find out.

A value for what? both have the same fundamental and there was no a lot of differences between both of these things. ICOs similiar to the STO. Even if STO claimed to be more compliance with regulatiuon and then it's not yet even registered on official institution.

This means that STO is better than ico if it complies with regulations, is this possible to become a trend in 2020? STO will be better than ico even though both are the same.

[Firefoxx]

STOs are suffering the same fate that ICOs are presently going through, they might bear different names and be two different things but we have to bear in mind that they all share the same CoinMarketCap.

[jyotsna060278]

ICOs will really die as most of peoples have no faith on investing in ICOs right now in light of extreme bearing market and almost 80-90% ICOs becoming scammed or failed. I hope STO not like the the ICOs, it is new type of investment, will see what kind of safest and return they will provide to investors, time will tell it will be successful or not.

Utility tokens will going to be the best in 2019, there's nothing I can see that can turn the table to some STO tokens gaining momentum in this bear market, we should rely on Utility for profit.
