Security Token Offering (STO)

Security Token Offering (STO)

Last Updated: January 23, 2026

Security Token Offering (STO) is a regulated method to raise capital by issuing tokenized securities on a blockchain.

Security Token Offering (STO) is a fundraising mechanism where a company issues tokenized securities on a blockchain. These tokens represent real assets like shares, bonds, or other financial instruments. STOs are subject to regulatory oversight, ensuring compliance with securities laws, which provides greater investor protection compared to Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). By tokenizing assets, STOs offer increased liquidity and transparency. This enables fractional ownership and easier transferability. STOs bridge the gap between traditional finance and blockchain technology, attracting institutional and retail investors seeking secure and transparent investment opportunities.
