Frequently asked questions

What is tokenization?
Tokenization is the process of fractionalizing something of value (e.g. a real world asset, a digital asset, a development project, intellectual property, etc.) into security tokens. Tokenization is typically done through Security Token Offerings.
What are security tokens?
A security token is a digital asset that qualifies as a financial instrument representing an underlying value. It is essentially used as a digital representation of ownership of assets (e.g. a share in a real estate company) or economic rights (e.g. interest on a debt instrument). Security tokens are compliant with financial laws and regulations, and are fully programmable.
What is a Security Token Offering?
A Security Token Offering (STO) is a process in which security tokens are offered to investors in exchange for money. An offering of a security token entails the issuance (or representation) of a financial instrument in the form of a digital asset in a blockchain environment.
How do security tokens differ from the other crypto tokens?

Security tokens differ from other crypto tokens because they qualify as financial instruments or securities and as such they are subject to securities laws and regulations.

Security tokens also differ in their purpose and intended use. For example, a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin is intended to be used as a form of currency or payment method, whereas a security token is intended to be used as an investment or representation of ownership in the same way as a bond, share or certificate.

What type of assets can be tokenized?
The beauty of tokenization is that anything of value can be tokenized, from real estate to artworks, carbon credits, investment funds, bonds and anything in between.
What are the benefits of tokenizing assets through an STO?

Tokenization via STO knows numerous advantages compared to traditional ways of financing, such as:

  • It’s more efficient: faster and cheaper transactions
  • There is more transparency: ability to track and prove transfers
  • It offers greater liquidity: increased tradability and broader range of investments
  • It is financially inclusive: democratization of investments
  • There is a bigger investor base: broader audience and community feeling
  • There is more flexibility: possibility to design tailor-made financial instruments
  • It offers legal certainty: it falls within the scope of existing regulatory frameworks.
How long does it take to set up an STO?
Each STO project has its own timing requirements depending on the project structuring. However, based on our experience, most STO projects are completed within a period of 6 to 12 months.
