This information gap has simply made it difficult for a lot of people to participate in this lucrative trade, especially as competition in security tokens continues to intensify.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The thing is, sometimes it can be difficult to eliminate the role of a middleman in your fundraising activities. And some middle people, at times, end up making away with a huge chunk of your investment in the form of fees.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As much as it may sometimes be justifiable to spend a lot in pursuit of a better financial future, be sure to obtain the value for whatever you\u2019re paying for, especially in crucial things such as legal matters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lot our readers have been experiencing challenges sourcing the right legal advice, and we thought we should put together a guide on some of the best security token offering lawyers to help point you to the right direction. And since we\u2019re here, I also thought I should highlight the four main security token structures that all token issuers need to be aware of.<\/p>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_356\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-356\" style=\"width: 593px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-356\" src=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/sto-lawyers.png\" alt=\"sto lawyers\" width=\"593\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/sto-lawyers.png 593w, https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/sto-lawyers-300x121.png 300w, https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/sto-lawyers-148x60.png 148w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 593px) 100vw, 593px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-356\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source of image: <a href=\"https:\/\/stock.adobe.com\/\">https:\/\/stock.adobe.com\/<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Structures_of_a_Security_Token\"><\/span>Structures of a Security Token<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tokenized_VC_Funds\"><\/span>Tokenized VC Funds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These funds provide the holders of a token with a form of a certainty that\u2019s meant to serve as their share of the fund. Each token issued will represent a share of the rights for an investor.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And when it comes to the sharing of profits, it can be done in a couple of ways. One such way can be through a direct or indirect buyback mechanism, which is when an investor exits or considers other investment options.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike other types of funds, tokens are easily tradable and highly liquid \u2013 this means that an investor who wishes to recoup his or her investment won\u2019t have to wait years before it materializes. In the US, it takes a maximum of 12 months for a security token to liquidate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, investor funds can be allocated flexibly \u2013 for example, they can choose to disperse the capital through mutual funds, or through smaller capital disbursements.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Funds that have been tokenized are also subjected to some form of regulation under the Investment Company Act. The Act dictates that such funds be limited to only 99 US investors, and 2000 other investors from across the world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Share-Like_Tokens\"><\/span>Share-Like Tokens<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Many people wonder if they can issue tokens on the blockchain. This question is often more complex than it seems, especially given the growing competition in security tokens. Share-like tokens allow investors to participate in company voting. They can also receive a share of profits and dividends throughout the company\u2019s life.<\/p>\r\n<p>This tokenization method fractionalizes company ownership. It creates layered shares of rights and offers greater liquidity. It also allows longer operating periods and automated compliance, among other benefits.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cryptocurrency_Bonds\"><\/span>Cryptocurrency Bonds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite there not being many tokenized debt facilities, there are a couple currently in the works. Just like bonds, debt tokens feature the promise of a future fixed income.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, there are still uncertainties surrounding the issue of whether debt tokens can prevail over equity in terms of repayment, or if it can alter the accreditation requirements.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But despite these uncertainties, <a href=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/how-to-make-money-with-bitcoin\/\">using a cryptocurrency<\/a> bond enables users to bypass tedious registries and brokers such as banks or lending institutions, ultimately reducing the repayable amount and time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Asset-Backed_Tokens\"><\/span>Asset-Backed Tokens<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These types of tokens are dependent on real-world assets such as land, art, or even property and equipment. Asset-backed tokens are common in real estate projects, as well as infrastructure related activities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, these tokens can also be issued in relation to fungible or non-fungible assets, and such assets may need an abstraction layer. Such layers group together related and unrelated assets, in the same way, a group of mortgages can be bundled together to form a security.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two quick pros of asset-based tokens include the means to split large asset groups into smaller ones, as well as the ability to develop unique and well-diversified portfolios.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, there you have it. These are the core structures that a security token can take.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, let\u2019s get into the next part of this post.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Importance_of_Engaging_an_STO_Lawyer\"><\/span>The Importance of Engaging an STO Lawyer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like I mentioned earlier, it is normal for an average person to not know all that much about laws and regulations relating to a certain investment, especially if they are not a member of the bar. The same way, it\u2019s totally normal to have a CEO of an IT company who knows not a single computer code. So, yes, at some point, we need to engage other experts for us to realize the full potential of our ideas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, in the video below, I watched a corporate lawyer speak about security tokens for less than 10 minutes and realized how a lot of people (myself included) overlook a lot of things that are covered under certain laws.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s the video:<\/p>\r\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ICO Regulation And Security Tokens - Interview With Artem Afian\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ox4KsptXZIE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<p>Informative, right?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, that\u2019s the law\u2026 But why are these knowledgeable friends so important to our tokenization journey?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The simple and straightforward answer is obvious; lawyers understand the law, and it is only fair to involve them where matters of law are involved.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But you already knew that\u2026<\/p>\r\n<h3 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_Security_Token_Lawyers_Guide\"><\/span>Top Security Token Lawyers Guide<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Security token lawyers are trained to legally maneuver their way around the most complex of laws regarding security tokes \u2013 being a long process, it is easy to overlook certain key elements of the process that may end up being costly to your project.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are the core areas that security token offering lawyers focus on:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Legal compliance (locally and internationally)<\/li>\r\n<li>Structuring of an ICO or STO<\/li>\r\n<li>Advice on the most favorable jurisdiction for the project<\/li>\r\n<li>Token pricing<\/li>\r\n<li>Risk evaluation<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to the complexity of these, you\u2019ll certainly need to get the input of some of the most experienced professionals in the industry regarding your project.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And speaking of experienced professionals, I managed to compile a list of some of the most experienced STO lawyers in the crypto ecosystem.
