The SEC will mandate Security Tokens, It's easy to see why.

For those that are still struggling to understand the concept i'll explain in a way you can understand.

Example:

Utility Token - Namepros generate a utility token ICO that can be used on the forum no ownership, unregulated, back by nothing, thin air investment. Maybe you can use it to purchase things on the forum, fundamentally who gives a shit.

Security Token - Namepros generate a security token which holds 10 Top Domains *NP defines a top domain as (No domains under $1000 resale value) You can invest it in, you can profit from it, It's regulated and has governance.

In my eyes this is as clear as day how this can work - furthermore you don't need a 10k page whitepaper to understand as it's backed by a security.

Any aspiring domain fund mangers you can now begin on polymath network and raise capital for your investments. The only question remains, Can you provide a ROI for your investors.

I'll invest $1k into the first good portfolio with a clear history of P/L

This is now, well underway.

Example O'Leary is offering 1/3 of the hotel on the Blockchain in the form of a securitized token.

I had a high $xx offer on sedo last night on a brandable name in com

S t o k e n o

I've created this name because it starts with S (security) word token in the middle and ends with O (offering) and it's pronouncable.

I countered with low $xxxx and they bailed.
Not sure if they saw the name for what I had created for but it was good enough for them to offer something. I believe if they were a serious buyer they would have counter offered.

I also hold STO/service in dot com

I have been adding to a 3L + Token.com portfolio and assure there are many taken. I have also made an outbound sale of lawsuit coin related domain to a block chain lawyer.

If this info helps any , great. I'm still very new but hold several years experience in financial / trading industry. I feel even at a bear crypto market the token industry will be growing , at what rate that is undetermined.

Be sure to keep on block chain also , one angle I've taken is the marriage licenses , there are dozens of developed sites in this niche. One hand reg is Vow Solutions for example. Keep up with the trending words and lock in some gems.

Happy Domaining all.

2 new products launching this week. Keep an eye out

Tzero
Overstock’s Patrick Byrne Says tZERO Will Launch this Week.The company has already notified investors in tZERO’s token sale – which concluded last August – that they can gain access to their tokens. According to a letter to investors, the three-month lockup period for the tokens had ended, and investors could either create a brokerage account with broker-dealer and tZERO partner Dinosaur Financial Group or put the tokens in a personal wallet.

Both are winners and I won’t be casting a vote thanks.

That’s very interesting and amazing news for all current Cryptocurrencies backed by a security or not.

You seem to not ‘give a shit’ about the fundamental Blockchain technology and people who’s companies create these Blockchain systems as a store of value.

For me personally, the technology and fundamentals of these companies (and people) offering cryptocurrencies as stores of value IS for me where the value lies. I understand that people need material items to give them a sense of security, but remember, nothing material lasts forever. The Blockchain is in essence not material and something that time can not erode.

Both are not winners. It's not even close. One is a gimmick (unregulated funding) and one is Securitization with governance.

For me personally, the technology and fundamentals of these companies (and people) offering cryptocurrencies as stores of value IS for me where the value lies.

Explain to me in the history of humanity how/when/if it is possible to create a store of value with no asset? If own a Utility token you own 0 of 0.

Of course i care, I think it's great. It's the best news - i have been waiting for this. In all honesty i didn't think the industry would get it's act together fast enough.

However this thin air, fake market cap thing, i don't know appeals to people who have maybe taken too many drugs in their lifetime i don't know.......... but there isn't anything fundamental about it other than it being fundamentally fraud.

This isn't one is bad and the other is good. They are both two different things.

For example, a privately owned company, Company X, backed by Apple and Google, release a token that is worth 50% of their company value. This is a security token. There is no objective to the coin/token, it doesn't have a purpose or an utility, its a pure investment, a gamble if you will based on how you feel the company will do. Bit like investing in stocks and shares.

On the other hand, you can have a token released by a project that does serve a purpose, perhaps it's smart contracts or a new transaction blockchain mechanism purely for banks. This is a Utility token. It has a purpose aside from being just an investment.

What's better? In my eyes, a Utility token. Why? Because there is a use case for the token. It's there to serve a purpose from day one. We know exactly what it does and we can go and use it right that second if we wanted too.

A Security Token is backed by the asset behind it i.e. the company. If there's a global recession or the company gets hacked. What you think will happen to the value of the Security Token?

Why did SEC create a distinction? Because 100's of ICO are popping up every week claiming that their tokens are amazing tech coins that do amazing things i.e. they are claiming to be Utility tokens like Ether but in fact there are just bogus shell companies that will take your money and do nothing with it but buy lambos.

That's the way I see it, but I'm not really fussed. Invest in whatever you feel comfortable with.

Maybe the best firm in the valley.......

Andreessen Horowitz-backed Harbor kicks off security token platform with the sale of a $20 million mega-dorm

  • Harbor, the security token platform with blue-chip backers, is set with its first offering
  • Investors will be able to buy a small slice of giant “mega-dorm,” which houses students at the University of South Carolina
  • The tokens won’t trade immediately and won’t be quite as easy to move as shares of stock, but will bring liquidity to a traditionally illiquid market
Harbor has officially launched its platform to tokenize private securities, the firm announced Tuesday. And it’s kicking things off with the sale of a tokenized real estate investment trust representing a stake in a $20 million mega-dorm.
Screen-Shot-2018-11-26-at-5.13.49-PM-e1543290244289-1200x542.png
Backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Pantera Capital, and others, Harbor offers a platform for firms and other entities to issue tokenized securities as a way to raise capital. Those tokens, which are based on blockchain technology, can represent ownership in assets spanning real estate to private equity to art.”This is our first offering,” chief executive officer Josh Stein said in a phone interview with The Block. Investors in the deal will have a piece of The Hub at Columbia, an off-campus housing complex for students at the University of South Carolina. The property will be divided into 955 tokens valued at $21,000 apiece, according to the firm.

Just recently I am looking at this niche and there seems to be non consensus on usage.
STO vs DSO. Security Token Offering vs. Digital Security Offering.

Can anyone elaborate on this subject?

I've seen a lot more STO than DSO reading online. Only one article I read referred to DSO.
