RE: The Crypto Mega-trend of 2018: Security Tokens ( Everything you need to know )

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)

Hi Jeff,
Interesting read!
Being not an expert at all: am I correct that

  • this definition of security tokens also applies to tokenised investment funds like Headstart, BullToken, Invictus' Hyperion,...?
  • theoretically and ideally they should be the same... but in practice there is still a difference atm between a security token and whether the token is considered a security by authorities? Referring to the interpretation by the local regulators and it's implications in real life for the project's (requirements,...) and the investor's side (taxes, participation rules,...)...
Sort:  
  1. No, investment funds are actually utility tokens ironically enough

  2. In order to be a security token it MUST be legally compliant with regulations and have already gone through all the red-tape and hurdles.

Hope that answers it :)
