The State of Security Tokens 2022

 

2022 could be the year of Security Tokens and STOs.


What are security tokens?


Security tokens are cryptocurrencies, usually based on the Ethereum blockchain, that represent the dividends of the company that issues them. In this sense, they follow a different and even stricter regulation than utilities. Many exchanges are not authorized to list securities and different regulations must be followed to buy or sell them.


Tokens can be divided into two types: utility tokens and security tokens. Most people are more familiar with utility tokens than security tokens because they are much more common. (Ethereum and litecoin are examples of utility tokens.) A security token, on the other hand, represents an ownership stake in an asset, typically a company, and entitles its holder to a share of profits in the asset. Security tokens are much less common.


Advantages of Security Tokens


Digitizing real assets by breaking them into fractional security tokens is a naturally streamlined idea that gives investors the satisfaction of a recorded ownership stake on the blockchain ledger.


Security tokens will serve as the uniting bridge between traditional finance and blockchain-based decentralized finance in a manner that benefits them both. This is because the tokenized assets already exist in traditional markets including bigger markets like equities and real estate. Several blockchain projects are already disrupting previous ICO models by providing platforms that allow tokenization of equity rights before ICO launch.


LCX STO Launchpad and Compliance Suite are also helping innovative blockchain projects to conduct a fully compliant and regulated STO. This is one of the very few exchanges and STO launchpad that has secured 8 registrations under the Liechtenstein blockchain laws.


Ethereum is the blockchain that is most commonly used for the deployment of security tokens. Many companies use ERC-20 tokens, which are Ethereum-compatible tokens that can run on the Ethereum blockchain using smart contracts for execution.


People who own security tokens can profit from the performance of the token. Sometimes, they can also earn profits through dividends in the form of additional tokens and they often get other benefits such as voting power. In this way, security token holders can get many of the same benefits as stocks and other securities. One of the most well-known security tokens is Blockchain Capital (BCap).

Smart contract in Blockchain

A technology that will change the way you trust through an automated contract management system. A smart contract is an agreement between two parties in the form of computer code. They run on the blockchain, so they are stored on a public database and cannot be changed. The transactions that happen in a smart contract processed by the blockchain means they can be sent automatically without a third party. In 1994, Nick Szabo (a cryptographer), came up with the idea of being able to record contracts in the form of computer code. This contract would be activated automatically when certain conditions are met. This idea could potentially remove the need for trusted third-party companies (such as banks). But why? The answer is simple — because you no longer need a trusted third party when you make a transaction. Instead, the contracts (or transactions) are self-executed on a trusted network that is completely controlled by computers. Cool idea, right? Szabo worked on this idea for many y...
