STO vs ICO - security

[Teknisi88]

On the basis of the concept there is no difference but the way to do it is different even though the goal is the same, now is the time to compare the current trend, such as the IEO, while the STO and ICO are past programs whose trust is slightly reduced.

Hi,

I've compared a few ICOs and STOs.

In my opinion, they are nothing different when it comes to security.

What do you think?

Well there is no big difference between STO and ICO, just that STO is more regulated than ICO, the main reason we have a lot of investors leaving the ICO market is because they have experience a lot of loss, not because the people behind the project made away with the fund raised, but because the price in the exchange was low even below ICO price after waiting for months, there is nothing as painful as that, I have experience such twice this week which made me give up on ICO totally and won't invest again.

Cosbycoin you are right but I think most investors were making fast trade.
They bought tokens in first round and sold after first stock quotes. So, when most of the people sell, the price will go down.

I would disagree a little. That is if we are talking here of real and vetted STOs and not the fake ones because anybody can just claim that his/her project is STO but in fact is just another ICO. When we talk of STO, we are talking here of a project which is legally recognized and under the regulations and laws of the land. Now, of course, there is no guarantee here that the project can succeed. But what are the main advantages here? One, the people behind the STO are all real and has legal personalities which means cases can easily be filed against them if ever they run with the money they generated with the crowdfunding -- with the ICO platform running after fake names can be so difficult. STO should be registered within the country it is headquartered...something that ICO may not do. STO is putting more responsibility on the hands of the projects' proponents and making things more transparent.

You see I already lose my hope on Icos they never work out base on my experience its just waste of time you know. STO on the other hand need to have a possitive review for me to try on it. because if it end up like some of the ICOs then most people will also turned off with it. I guess the only good way to unvist our money with is on the IEOS.

They were doing exactly that, just no different from ICOs at all, no different from IEOS, and to be fair also no different from normal IPOs in the stock market,,, a lot of people speculating on the popularity of these tokens, especially the ones that sell out in minutes.

Of course when there is so much selling, people rush to get the price right, resulting in dumping. Normal market mechanics.

What do you think?

When we join in STO, its like we having stocks in that company. Its different between STO and ICO because most token we hold beside STO is not a security and most of it are utility token. I think its more safe invest in STO because its regulated

They both follow the same process but I don't think they are really the same thing. The similarity is that you buy a token as an investment but as for the difference between the both of them is that ICOs are not being regulated by any government body and they just issue out coins, just like that.. But as for STO, They don't just start issuing out coins, they will have to register with the required government bodies that makes they are 100% lawful. ICO is easy to launch and anyone can just do that, but STO is not like that, you will have to go through a lot of process. So it's not easy in any way.

That's right. One big speculation We will see how the IEO will develop but at the end the quotation course will be similar to ICO.

I believe STO investors have more security than ICO or IEO, as stated on one of the reply :

The risk of being scammed in an STO is very slim unlike in ICO since it is not regulated.  If ever an STO project became fraud, authority can trace all the people behind that project so there is a factor of "fear" on the side of the project developer and that factor can drive them to do better.  While the unregulated ICO project developer will just do whatever they wanted to even run away with your money  the instance the crowdfunding is done.  So in terms of security.. STO is way more secure than ICO and even the IEO.

Check this to learn more about STO

STO and ICO will go down. IEO is a good balance between security and accessibility.

Can you elaborate why do you think IEO is good balance of those two and how secure IEO is?

Most ICO and STO are really nothing different when it comes to security. However, there are exceptions in the form of legally registered STO.

I am agree, there is no different between ICO and IEO, the different thing is on IEOs administered by exchanger. For developers team, its more easy doing IEO because they can focus on the project and developing it.

[markcryptoexpert]

Agree. What about other risk with IEO?
Founders sell tokens to investors but first investors can sell it also with discount during IEO.

You are a newbie and your level of understanding is at most average and you can't conclude that initial coin offering ico is the same as security token offering sto.
Like the name implies security token offering it has a more security conscious approach as to the of initial coin offering icos which has failed many investors and bounty hunters because of the high level of scam

Please, stop it and you have created a misleading post about STO. Did you know what meant of STO and that's "Security token offering and that means the company was offering the security token to be bought by investors and it's not a utility token. You should go to the Investopedia and learn more about what it is.
That's much better for you to know the difference between utility and security.

I think not all coin offers that have STO platforms are not all scam, there are some platforms that can be successfully developed, I admit it is difficult to be able to see the project scam or not because they are sometimes good at the beginning but when they are at the end they start addressing not good and has a scam.

[trade2winnn]

It is difficult to judge,since 17 and the beginning of 18 years of ISO in General on the wave of HYIP and growth was,and all ran who are not lazy,but of course there were many scammers,so here we can say one thing, that ISO of course now in stagnation and gone in the past,and STO more reliably in this regard,there are no scrotal,as more checked

[sujonali1819]

STO, ICO, IEO, IPO, ITO who cares?
If the coin doesn´t have any use, it doesn´t have any value. We really do not need million of tokens. Few coins like coins from top 10 is enough to cover 99% of the market needs. 

Agreed with you. Really nobody care STO,IEO,ICO......  If they don't have any use. So first need any legit project then people will invest into the project it can be ICO, can be IEO or others.

My side is on IEO, coins are going for this crowdfunding, but if I have to pick between the two I'll definitely go for STO because they are more regulated than ICO, there's a lot of scams in ICO and it keeps growing every day, and they keep scamming people

[ilhamsugihamin]

in my opinion STO is superior and the security level is better than ICO. its name is also security token offering, so it is certain from its name and also the characteristics of STO offering guaranteed security.
