STOs are still growing but very slowly

[Kvalentine]

Many thought looking up to STO projects because many of them failed since we start hearing the name but few STO projects still manages to break good records, I saw a great deal of pivotal STO development, including Blockstack, a $33.8 million Bond-I by the World Bank, a $20 million bond on ethereum by Santander, and an association with Asia's biggest land speculation trust to dispatch Connection REIT. All things considered, buys were delayed due to

1. Persistent regulatory concerns
2. Little value add beyond higher relative liquidity which wasn't enough to convert most investors to purchase STOs

But truthfully the space is growing but just slowly

I don't think that tokenized security space can grow until a projects can comply with all the regulatory needs. At the moment i don't think there is such a platform with the main net yet, that can comply with them.

Although this link is old, it means a lot for today's stos: https://bitcoinist.com/one-year-on-sexy-stos-count-for-just-0-28-of-cryptocurrency-investment/ In fact, on the contrary, sto market in those days was more successful. The nexo at that time had reached $52 million. Now there is not even IEO that can raise that much money.

In the year of 2017 ICO'S were really starting to take off, the scene was ripe with them, but on the other hand the market was heavily unregulated and the SEC, CFTC and the other big boys were starting to really take notice. A really big ICO at the time was Centra, I even participated in the campaign towards the end of it because all of the popularity it was gaining.
  Needless to say, the whole project ended abruptly and really badly, when all three guys who were the founders were indicted on federally charges for fraud. They even had "Flyod Mayweather" & "DJ Khaled" working in the bounty campaign by endorsing them, it was one of the reasons I joined, I thought if these big names are endorsing a project it had to be legit. Boy was I wrong, really learned a hard lesson their, Thank god I never touched the bounty reward. Possibly dodged a bullet
   Remember to practice your due diligence and be careful when investing in, or joining ICO bounty campaigns, not only could they be scams, but also could be in violation of securities laws.

I have heard of STO and I thought that 2019 will be the year for them but it seems not. There's an opinion that it will be the next big thing for crowdfunding but we will see if it's really the next thing that will gain the attention of the masses.

Do we have a link for the upcoming STOs for this year?

It didn't work too as it has been so hard for crypto project to do STO, so just like ICO it didn't become successful, sad to say. IEO has been trending in the year 2019 and so far it has been good but still not at all becomes successful as there were also some of the IEO that are scam and there were also project who has no budget at all so they did their IEO on not reputable exchange.

I didn't see any project thru STO for awhile, it's mostly IEO now and still doesn't perform well. If ever there will be atleast one popular STO that will show some good progress and can wow the market it can have a chance, as long as it will be noticed atleast by a big investors.

[tsaroz]

STO are improving as the success of STO are being linked with the success of exchange. STO was the reason why LAtoken faced such a backslash and still trying to recover.
Binance is getting serious on choosing the right ICO and haven't launched any in last two months. Exchanges like Probit rose to fame thanks to successful STOs.

[EdwardBrooke]

Yeah alot of draw back but with constant improvement growth will be seen

Apart from compliance which is not necessarily a big deal anymore, STO needs established blockchain companies or platform and not these startups with a base capital of 20k dollars, zero industry experience and zero working product both on and off the market. This is not enough to boost Confidence in STOs

I think the timing wasn't perfect because last year there is IEO which became successful from the beginning of its launching. So, instead of getting the attention of the people for the upcoming STOs, everyone turned to the IEOs.

And if there will be a comeback for it this year, I don't think that many would love to buy it unless the new investors aren't of its existence last year until it became passive.

[jacafbiz]

It is funny with your accessment, to me STO's was dead on arrival, how many people talk about STO again. There are some tings that do not mix, some of the advocate of STOs are just looking for ways to get people exicite about their tokens. If you want to offer security, offer investors shares of the company, do not look for easy way out.

STOs did not live long. In its wake, the IEO appeared soon after and it became more attractive for the entire market. Compared to ICO and IEO, STO is like the smallest point besides the great novels. Even in the current situation, I do not think it will be used and developed a lot. Now we need the one that is superior to all these types of sales, and I am sure it will show up soon.

[kotwica666]

The ICO market turned out to be too dangerous for investors, because scammers disappeared with money very easily. This was mainly because there was no regulation. STO projects operate like a normal company listed on a regular stock exchange, so it must be regulated by local law. I think that the ICO market will either fail to regulate or it will never happen again, and the future for financing startups will be STO.

Please you must mention the reason. Remember what makes blockstack becomes the successful STO caused by it has already approved by SEC to get A+ license to raise not more than 50 millions funding from the investors. Not all of the STO in the cryptocurrency can deal with SEC especially the garbage STO.
Did you think those majority of STO can do that easily to pass the regulatory frame work? I didn't even think about that.

I am also convinced that there will be alike from these first crowdfunding strategies but STO is the only one that didn't get much attention. But I'm also thinking that this will probably be the one that will be approved by the gov't because it's a security.

However, we'll see if most of the investors will still depend on these kind of investment schemes or we already learned the lesson from the past and we can no longer depend on them.

[Dart18]

Security tokens. (STO)

Most of it should comply with the financial agency of one government right?
Unlike ICO, when based on a country that is not strict with the crypto regulatory rules they can just create it.
So, this is centralized? Right?

That tells why this doesnt work much. So, what is the difference between an STO and keeping money in a bank?

[ololajulo]

STO looks like an experimental name to promote adoption of token. However, I dont think it put as much value on coins as we expect. Except for stable coin that the volatility is managed and qualifies it for security, it doesnt go that long way. In the next phase of cryptocurrency STOs will not be a factor to drive coin price or adoption. The space is very quiet about security tokens because of the market value.

[Ferris419]

These may be exceptional and we know the exception can't be an example. STO won't succeed in the crypto industry, because we the crypto supporters, and the investors are not curious about STO anymore, rather we saw many STO projects scammed its investors like Orbis! All STO projects of 2019 failed miserably, I did not see a single project that raised good money. So, ICO and STO are on the same path, dead in the crypto industry.

[watergold]

STO is still less popular in 2019 because it is indeed the same thing as ICO in the sales industry is almost the same so that investors are reluctant to not glance at it again.
If the STO is compared with the current IEO then I say it will be better than the STO IEO because many believe that IEO has given confidence to investors so that it gives a big enough profit if it is successful, but there are also many IEO that are successful in other large exchanges.

[qomariah95]

Previously, there were projects that conducted STO that could be a big success and some that were not successful at all. Even now there are no more or only a few projects that do STO. That's because STO is not a good choice for investing.

As far as people are not interested in investing in crypto like before, STO and the rest crowd funding means will continue to struggle. People don't even know much about STO not to talk about crowd funding. If you remember very well, IEO was the order of the day in 2019. Most project moved from ICO to IEO even though many still struggled because they weren't done on good exchange.

[Byakuga]

It all comes down to the aspect of the project itself, whatever fund raising way they choose doesn't determine any thing, how well prepared the team are will determined the outcome, STO still works i belief but limited successful STO projects, ICO is better than STO in terms of result

The regulations concern the company whose shares are not in traditional form, but in the form of Security Tokens. It's not that tokens have restrictions. The point is that regulations protect investors against dishonest developers.
You can't compare money in a bank to a listed company, these are two completely different things.

I know why it's so slow. The first issue is a legit project and a very prestigious team. Investors have control of this startup and all data must be clearly and accurately disclosed. Besides, the investors will be protected by the government so the investment is quite safe legally.
The second problem is real projects, so they need time to develop and establish what is needed. so instant development is quite difficult, so it's not suitable for this manipulated market.
Those are the two reasons why many investors do not spend their money on such projects, they prefer to speculate and get profit quickly.

STO do have audiences and clients from time to time. It was when most of the ICOs failed but then the IEOs snatched the spotlight and became more popular. STO could have been more prominent but there are still a lot of factors to consider. Also, not everyone is prefer the constant growth that sto exhibits. Other investors really do thrive for dynamic market.

[SolarWindMiningCompany]

I guess STOs has only been different from ICOs on paper than in applications. It promises a lot of value for investors but yet hasn't been able to woo investors appropriately. Perhaps, regulations are doing a hard one on them or the STO projects have been below pal and unable to deliver. Whatever the cases are, stakeholders have a huge challenge cut out for them if they want investors to take STOs more seriously than ICOs

[Lagduf]

Previously, there were projects that conducted STO that could be a big success and some that were not successful at all. Even now there are no more or only a few projects that do STO. That's because STO is not a good choice for investing.

Not so many projects in the past were that were conducting STO got big success. Almost the majority of STO in the past was the unsuccessful project. Based on the old history of STO in crypto and the demand is very very low compared with ICO or even IEO. that's why so many people don't wanna use STO as the word to raise awareness from the market.
Almost all of STOs in the past are scam and none of them become a successful project.

I don't know the exact statistics, but from my observations, many more ICOs turned into scam than STOs. STO projects must be created as normal companies, so they are regulated by law in the jurisdiction in which they were registered.
It is true that it was much less STO than ICO or IEO, due to the fact that it is much more difficult to register and it requires a lot of financial resources. It is hard for me to say if many of them have fallen, but they were definitely much harder, because if I remember correctly, this form of financing appeared at the worst moment of the bear market.

STO is old. It came out even before IEO came out into the market. Security Token Offering, more known as STO, is just almost similar to ICO and IEO with slight differences. Perhaps the only difference between ICO and STO is that the latter is offering security tokens. But both are public offerings. I think the success of this kind of token sale still depends on the specific project.

[Kambal2000]

STO's are still growing because many users or investors trust this for their money but always remember that you need to pay attetion that ICO,IEO are similar only to STO like example first this grow then after few months,year or more then this turn not well like users and investors don't trust this anymore for their money so in the end this can turn gone or scam like ICO and IEO

I don't think so, as STOs are struggling from getting investors too, so it will really depends on the situation and on the project side whether they are really worth investing or not. Because there were few ICOs last year that becomes successful despite of the bear market and the condition of ICO's that almost dying, still there were few has been successful and on the other part not all IEO, STO becomes successful.

[tranduong123]

The truth is that the STO has not prospered, I have not seen a breakthrough STO project, but many projects have been accused of fraud, they use the name STO to attract investors. The current STO is not yet clear. We should be careful with it.

[tambok]

The truth is that the STO has not prospered, I have not seen a breakthrough STO project, but many projects have been accused of fraud, they use the name STO to attract investors. The current STO is not yet clear. We should be careful with it.

That's exactly what's happening, STOs struggling to be regulated in the government, since they are focusing how they are going well they lack to focus on doing marketing because STOs compliant is too strict, they need to comply on it otherwise they will suffer from the consequence.

I don't know much about STO, but my friend told me, he's applying as community manager but the founder told him that they were STO, so they can't hire too much employee.

[mandor]

Previously, there were projects that conducted STO that could be a big success and some that were not successful at all. Even now there are no more or only a few projects that do STO. That's because STO is not a good choice for investing.

Over time, the Developers of various projects who want to promote their projects will increasingly find the latest innovations, we used to know ICO and STO but now it's already Left by investors, they now prefer IEO over ICO / STO. Although there are still a few successful STO projects, but this does not make investors to return there.

at this time IEO is still a favorite of many investors and that is what keeps them from will returning to ICO or STO again. I agree if STO is not a good choice for investment because only a few succeed and the rest fail miserably. in my opinion personally IEO is still much better than STO. I think the STO opportunity to grow is very small and are do also you think so?

[fuer44]

if it is able to maintain liquidity and volume, I think STO will still grow even though it is slow. because this is also important for the product, when there is still a high liquidity or at least stable, there is still a possibility for the pump.

[drlukacs]

Actually, STO will not really be developed in crypto market. This is my personal opinion, I see that in the crypto market now there are only speculators and no investors. Their mentality is that they want their tokens to grow quickly to sell and get rid of that token, which is why STOs don't really succeed. In addition, the STO will be legally protected but this will hinder the price-pumping strategy, compared to what we will and will never see STO projects will grow.

[Beparanf]

It all comes down to the aspect of the project itself, whatever fund raising way they choose doesn't determine any thing, how well prepared the team are will determined the outcome, STO still works i belief but limited successful STO projects, ICO is better than STO in terms of result

But their both not active now as there are projects that got bad experience in it. Many scam projects easily succeed before. Now we need something that will remove the doubt of people in investing. There should be a system, specific rules and regulations that needs to be followed before new projects can enter in the market. Or simply we just need to not be lazy in studying each projects.

Well it is fine companies are just getting started to adopt. Since everyone are used to ICO. I am more afraid if they go big not knowing what really lies ahead. So either way if things are going to be good though slow as it is they may get a brighter future sooner comparing to the fastest one yet risky.

Most project moved from ICO to IEO even though many still struggled because they weren't done on good exchange.

Yes it's not even a talk last year which I really thought to become one of the known investment of the year but until the end years and we see nothing about them. I've seen few of them before but didn't really pushed well that's why I'm thinking if there are still projects like this that will be pushing their luck this year.

So if anyone have a source about them, put it here.
