CirKor Trading Center: The Evolution and Prospects of the STO Model in 2024





CirKor Trading Center's Insights into Security Token Offerings and Their Future Outlook

LOS ANGELES, CA, July 25, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Security Token Offering (STO) is gaining traction in the capital market and blockchain industry amidst a global economic downturn. An STO is a method of issuing tokenized securities through blockchain technology while adhering to regulatory frameworks.

What is an STO?
An STO involves issuing securities using blockchain technology. While no major commercial country has specific STO laws, STOs must comply with existing securities regulations. Issuers can either register with securities authorities or use regulatory exemptions. Currently, exemptions are more practical due to their lower cost and complexity.

STO Regulation in the US:
In the US, STOs must comply with various regulations:

Regulation D 506(c): Allows private placements with fewer disclosure requirements but restricts investors to accredited individuals.
Regulation A: Permits a mini IPO with lower thresholds but requires more disclosures, offering higher liquidity.
Regulation CF: Limited in scope and less popular due to low fundraising caps.
Regulation S: Used with other exemptions for international investors, but restricts US trading for one year.
SEC Approval:
Security tokens under Regulation D or S are not explicitly approved by the SEC. Only tokens issued under Regulation A are considered SEC-approved.

STO Regulation in Europe:
European regulations vary:

EU Level: STOs with caps under 5 million euros or limited sales do not need a prospectus.
Member States: Countries like Malta and Estonia have more flexible rules. For example, Austria's HydroMiner is issuing H3O tokens compliant with EU regulations and plans to list on the London Stock Exchange.
STO Platforms:
Platforms like Polymath and SWARM use smart contracts to ensure compliance. Tools like Investor Passport streamline the verification process, reducing issuer costs and enhancing efficiency.

Future of STOs:
STOs promise benefits like higher liquidity and faster transactions compared to ICOs and traditional securities. However, their success hinges on regulatory compliance, platform standards, and market depth.

In summary, while STOs offer significant potential, their practical viability depends on evolving regulations and market acceptance.
