Hey guys, look what I found:
"In search of a new investment opportunity that is fast-growing and continuously-developing? Look no further than security token offerings (STOs) as they are a valuable alternative to raising capital on a global basis and are becoming more common in todays market of crypto fundraising.
With significant progress made over the last 10 months, 2019 will be the true year for security tokens as they will replace utility tokens as the leading investment opportunity. Investing has never been so affordable. It is the combination of modern blockchain technologies and basic government control to ensure security that will make the sale of assets transparent as never before."

Do you agree wit it?
It doesnt matter if you call it utility token, security token, ICO , STO or whatever. As long as you are raising money above a specific threshold there are regulatory rules.
Ethereum put all this upside down when someone invented ICOs which is basically an IPO but with no guarantee, no regulation and no backup in real assets. it created the classical tulip mania.
If you want to sell something to a small group of people (max 99) and raise less than 1 million EURO, you dont need any prospectus and not to have any license (in EU). It doesnt matter if its shares in a corporation, a bitcoin fund, or a ICO or security token offering (STO). As soon as you go above the threshold you need to create a prospectus and a lot of rules comes into place.
For many reasona STOs will go the same way ICOs did, and probably there will be another three letter combination hype in 2019. (SCO)
