We all know the ICO market is kinda dead right now. Not many good projects are out there. And if there is indeed a good project there is the fear it won't go well considering how the 2018 was for the ICO's. The last ICO I invested was 11 months ago and I don't even to get started on how it went and all the problems there are even now. But regardless that, I've seen the hype shift from ICO to STO. Seems that S in STO is really giving security to the investors.
STO in the other hand is not another utility token (most of them have no utility at all), but actually gives you shares on the company and you have some return on your investment just in e few months. Obviously not the whole investment but you can see smth entering your wallet.
My question is: Will 2019 be the year of STO?
We might be leaving the ICO stage in cryptocurrency and now the emergence of STO reffered to as (Security Token Offering) in which required to comply through liscensing required by the law. In other words STO is an upgrade of ICO that might be the start of another bullrun and the resolve to security on our investments.
STO will win over ICO that's for sure. Security Token Offering is like the upgraded ICO on which the investors are secured with tangible assets like land and Machineries. Maybe this STO will be the trigger for the bull to run this year as it will be a powerful tool for each company securing everyone's investment for capitalizing company finances.
