STO

STO stands for "Security Token Offering." It refers to a fundraising method similar to an Initial Coin Offering (ICO), but with tokens that represent ownership in an underlying asset, such as equity, debt, or real estate. STOs are subject to securities regulations and offer investors more legal protection and compliance compared to ICOs. By issuing security tokens on a blockchain, STOs enable fractional ownership, enhanced liquidity, and streamlined compliance processes in the trading and investment of securities.
