#STO
Cryptocurrency $STO is not a specific digital currency like Bitcoin or Ethereum, but rather refers to a type of investment called a Security Token Offering (STO).
What is an STO?
An STO is a way to raise funds that combines features of cryptocurrencies and traditional securities (stocks, bonds, etc.). Instead of issuing shares of a company, digital tokens are issued on a blockchain that represent a legal right over an asset (such as shares, profit participation, property ownership, etc.).
Key differences:
ICO (Initial Coin Offering): Issues tokens without legal or regulatory backing (more speculative).
STO (Security Token Offering): Tokens are regulated and represent real financial securities.
Advantages of STOs:
Greater legal security for investors.
Transparency thanks to blockchain technology.
Possibility to fractionalize assets (such as real estate) into small parts.
