in cryptocurrency •  7 years ago 

You've probably heard people in the crypto world talking all about security tokens in 2018, but what the heck are they? Let's dive into the subject of tokenized securities, or security tokens, with Rob Nance of CityBlock Capital, whose company is launching it's own security token. He has a great perspective on what are security tokens, what the vendor landscape looks like, the potential value of security tokens and more.

Neo's NEX exchange will be the go-to trading venue for these security tokens in the EU.

security tokens are very important for any type of transfer in the blockchain, for 22X Fund platforms (batch 22 of 500 Start-ups), CryptoOracle, Kairos.com, Lottery.com, etc. so that they can have their own security token, I particularly like and invest in the polymath project.
But your publication is very good and I will follow that project carefully.
Thanks for sharing, regards.

Appreciate the insight and great mention of projects as well. I had a chance to hear the founder of Lottery.com speak at a small security token conference and also am familiar with 22X Fund. This industry should be fun to watch

It Seems security token should be every crypto freaks bible so as to be guided with it when trading and maximize profits as the trading progresses especially for those who are in the business of crypto trading, your post definitely will be helpful.

Becoming a accredited investor in order to be able to legally able to acquire these, and for companies to legally be able to sell you security tokens, seems like it's going to push out a vast majority of investors / speculators. Hope you got a $1 Million to blow...I sure don't.

Nice to meet you. I am a friend from today. I wish you all the best and healthy. Your friend lucky7777

A excellent article

This concept of tokenizing assets truly brings financial assets into the digital economy as it improves transparency and efficient in the administration of said assets. Today, in traditional trading assets like stocks, it still takes 3 days to settle trades because of the issue of trusting a 3rd party to deliver assets on a timely and honest manner. This is incredible given the advances in technology available. It also increases the cost of said transactions for the whole ecosystem. Security tokens can transform traditional markets more than many want to believe given the risk it entails for traditional financial institutions.

How to find out the best way to differentiate between security and utility tokens?

You have a minor grammatical mistake in the following sentence:

Let's dive into the subject of tokenized securities, or security tokens, with Rob Nance of CityBlock Capital, whose company is launching it's own security token.
It should be its own instead of it's own.

Wowwww wowww, security tokens are very important for any type of transfer in the blockchain

Good your posting mister.
