If you are thinking about buying Anchor tokens and getting your own stash of non-flationary currency, you might ask yourself why exactly you should care about whether or not a project is labeled as a security.
We believe that our project should be there for everyone. That every single person on the planet should be in a situation where they can take advantage of a stable store of value that Anchor represents. However, with securities, it doesn’t work that way. For starters, securities can only be distributed in certain, registered countries, while tokens that aren’t securities can be sold around the world.
Secondly, and for many, more importantly, only accredited investors can purchase securities. That means that the average Joe would be completely cut off from a project that is meant for everyone. With that in mind, we have even decided to forego an ICO altogether and just immediately start being available through exchanges.
Lastly, given the nature of securities, security tokens tend to have serious liquidity issues in secondary markets while non-securities are a lot easier to trade at any volume.
