The Ultimate Guide To Security Token Offering for Your Business Needs in Malaysia
Utility tokens, also called user tokens or app coins,
represent future access to a company’s product or service. The defining
characteristic of utility tokens is that they are not designed as investments;
if properly structured, this feature exempts ERC
tokens them from federal laws governing securities.
By creating utility tokens, a startup can sell “digital
coupons” for the service it is developing, much as electronics retailers accept
pre-orders for video games that might not be released for several months.
Filecoin, for instance, raised $257 million by selling tokens that will provide
users with access to its decentralized cloud storage platform.
Because the term “Initial
Coin Offering” is a derivative of “initial public offering” (ICO), utility
token creators usually refer to these crowdsales as token generation events
(TGEs) or token distribution events (TDEs) to avoid the appearance that they
are engaging in a securities offering.
Would-be issuers of “utility” crypto
tokens can be expected to encounter high costs, middling raises and
regulatory risk. But there is a solution for the beginning ICO's were magic.
Young projects without a legal entity, domicile or identifiable management team
were able to raise millions of dollars. They promised to build infrastructure
that would unseat corporate titans without so much as saying hello to
regulators and taxing authorities. Smash the banks, change the world and bring
about some sort of libertarian crypto utopia Obviously that hasn’t happened.
Regulators are increasingly cracking down and taking interest
in the blockchain space. While governments vary in their response to blockchain
projects, it is clear that they will respond and that they will hold projects
accountable to their laws. “Utility” token offerings designed as an end run
around securities laws are unlikely to hold up, with the SEC say openly that
they haven’t seen a true “utility” yet. In this space, just about every project
is likely in violation of securities laws.
But there is an exit, a way forward that’s better for
projects and investors and helps relieve the threat of government interference:
Security
Token Offerings (STOs).
