As we all know, the world of ICO's is riddled with scams and mistakes, but many investors are still putting their money into ICO projects. What needs to happen for there to be a shift from ICO's to the more secure and reliable STO's?
The principle of every business is, the higher the risk, the more the profit. Which is why i believe so many people would want to prefer ICO over STO.I think some people may not know the full meaning of STO. It's called Security Token Offering, which means it is only meant for security tokens. While ICO can accommodate security tokens, utility tokens, equity and so on.
The fact that we are in a system decentralization in the crypto space, which so many crypto enthusiasts prefer. Whereas STO is centralized. Which means tje lovers of decentralization would prefer ICO.
In order not to fall victim of scam, investors just need to take to precautions.
Security tokens don't actually fall under ICOs. That's part of why a lot of ICOs are facing issues with regulators because their "utility tokens" should actually be labeled as a security.
True that ICOs are struggling with credibility. Most of them are just scams and naive investors fall for it. One of the reasons why the government is getting strict with their regulations specially on ICOs. So here comes STOs. Though they will be heavily regulated and will go through all legal government procedures, those who are willing to scam will still find their way to rip off people.
I believe STOs are more regulated than ICOs so I hope for a lesser chance of getting scammed, maybe you'll stick with STOS, but if you want higher rewards, ofcourse that comes with higher risk too, a much much higher risk. You'll stick with the more crowded and well appreciated ICOs.
These are the risks that are not worth taking. Scam projects has never been profitable to anyone. And why would someone actually risk knowing they will get nothing? Why even encourage those scammers by "risking"?Totally agree with what your are saying and to add it is not just these projects are the one who will scam the investors it can also be the regulators scamming the project themselves so this is just to remind you that scams and fraudulent activities is a behavior which is already hard to remedy.
From what I've seen the STOs are only American based? The regulators are still f*cking snails when it comes to clearly regulating crypto, so in a way I don't think there will be a shift just yet. I personally think the average joe will lean more towards STOs when they are more common.
There's a company in Canada who are waiting for regulatory approval to launch their STO - https://corl.io. It's a slow process, indeed, but also being the first in its kind to get approved takes time.
Comparing to utility token,security token has a much better future.It has the force to move forward and also become stronger in the future.
Very true. It's a good compromise to the world of traditional investing and the decentralized form we saw with ICO's. Security tokens are a good balance between the two, and also drive further innovation in tech.
Re: To invest in an ICO, Reviewing of the team behind is necessary?
There's not really a reason why an ICO project wouldn't want to showcase their team (if they're actually good). It increases credibility and investors can get a sense of what the team's strengths are and how that can feed into the project's success.

Security tokens have many problems. Security tokens require more regulations in many countries. So isn't the answer very clear?
What problems?

I like this as a product as it solves a problem taht I have and the team are working with regulators to make sure they do it right . The type of projects they are looking for make sense and minimise risk.
Agreed. Also the fact that they're taking the necessary steps to ensure full compliance with the law is definitely a good sign when it comes to signaling the type of team behind the project. It's a good STO to keep up with as they prepare for their launch which should be soon.
I think a large part of the "revival" of crypto is the innovation that happens within the space. With things like security tokens coming into the market, people will feel more confident in what crypto has to offer and all of the compliance and law regulations surrounding it. Security tokens are definitely something to embrace and help push out to the public.
The market is move to critical situation so coins also hard to choose in this scenario. But standard coins are good to invest on this dip and secured tokens are not possible in this dip.
If you really interested to participate in crypto you may choose Bitcoin because this will be a good investment in current market.
I agree that this might even be the best solution for now. Security tokens depend a lot on the success of the product they represent. And they are contributing to the way of treating cryptos as assets rather than money. I am more into the projects which are at least trying to help people use cryptos to pay for goods and services instead of dumbly trading them. I believe that cryptocurrencies can be a very good replacement of fiat and we as a community should show that we want and support such changes. Trading devaluated the facts of decentralization and cryptography and makes this market a weird alternative to stock market.If you really interested to participate in crypto you may choose Bitcoin because this will be a good investment in current market.
I'm not sure how realistic it is to hope that crypto will be looked to more as cash than investments. With such a volatile market, not many people would even want to try using crypto as money. On the other had, security tokens offer tokenized real-world assets, which may touch on the fundamentals you're trying to reach - meaningful, tangible impacts on the world. If I were to invest in a security token like Corl, I'd be investing in the funding of startups and I would not be blindly trading them.
I think in this day and age, security is at the forefront of everyone's minds. Not only do security tokens provide that sense of security due to the regulation aspect, but it also provides increased liquidity and investment into a real-world asset. Although I believe security tokens still have a way to go, I believe there will be a dramatic shift from ICOs to STOs.
With that in mind, there are some security tokens that are on their way to 'going public.' (e.g. Corl). It will be interesting to see how the average investor take to investing in security tokens.

You can check out Countinghouse Fund. I particularly liked it because I trade Forex and it has a lot to do with Forex. It's already trading and I actually bought some from the ICO. Then there's Thinkcoin too. It's from Thinkmarket company. You can Google them and make your own informed decision.
Those both seem to be ICO's though and not security tokens. I'm looking more along the lines of STO's like Corl (https:corl.io)
Oh. But security tokens can do ICOs too yeah? Because I read their Whitepaper and they said they're security tokens. And that's why they can only trade on decentralized Exchanges not centralized like Utility tokens
My understanding is that an STO is a token offering similar to an ICO, but the main difference is that STOs are regulated (e.g. registered with the SEC). If it is actually a security token, their offering would be labeled as an STO as opposed to an ICO.

Security tokens seems to be an easy answer to all of the problems we have been facing with ICO's. They provide instant liquidity, compliance with regulations, and they're backed by real-world assets. I believe security tokens are going to start popping up in no time, and I'm sure the first token to 'go public' is well on its way. With this in mind, has anyone researched STO's and which seem to be the best to invest in?
