What is a Security Token?

Описание: There are many types of tokens that web3 projects utilize - perhaps the one that investors and founders need to be most careful of are Security Tokens. Due to them representing future cash they are considered by the SEC to be securities. On this episode of Why Web3, Jason Barraza from Security Token Market(STM) explains what security tokens are as well as what details founders and investors need to know.

Most web3 projects utilize tokens of some kind. You may have heard about Non Fungible Tokens which are unique and irreplaceable like Bored Apes. Or you may have heard of Fungible tokens, which can be swapped for each other like Ether (from Etherium). There’s also Governance tokens that give the holder an ability to vote within a DAO.

A security token is a digital asset that represents ownership or other rights and transfers value from an asset or bundle of assets to a token. In plain language, security tokens are the digital form of traditional investments like stocks, bonds, or other securitized assets, tied to business value and equity.
