Should There Be a Blockchain for Security Tokens?

From Research to Use-Case: How 8 Decimal Capital Strategically Constructs Its Security Token…

As the great cryptocurrency winter of 2018 extends its grip by yet another month, <a href="https://whitepapertrail.com/a-few-words-about-malta/" target="_blank">anecdotal evidence</a> at various blockchain conferences worldwide has been rife that a security token wave is on the cusp of forming. This new breed of digital assets is one that seeks to comply with existing regulators, rather than to subvert. Security tokens are are programmatically designed to be compliant with relevant regulations. In the words of influential crypto podcaster and fund manager <a href="https://medium.com/@apompliano/the-official-guide-to-tokenized-securities-44e8342bb24f" target="_blank">Anthony Pompliano</a>:

Why You Need To Know The Security Token Value Chain (aka Yet Another Stack)

You may think that ICOs have come and gone. And I honestly hope you are right.

Capital Formation — the killer app for blockchain?

Liquidity is one of the golden promises of security tokens as a new asset class. Unfortunately, until now, the security tokens have shown an almost concerning lack of liquidity. Most people tend to see liquidity as a factor related to the maturity of the market and assume that it will develop organically in the security token space. The truth is a bit more complex. Liquidity is in fact a sign of maturity in financial asset classes but only those with the right infrastructure. Many mature financial asset classes remain highly illiquid as they don’t possess the correct building blocks for nurturing organic liquidity. Similarly, other asset classes with the right liquidity framework take years fail to achieve relevant levels of liquidity in its early days. Today, I would like to explore some of the key building blocks that need to in place to enable liquidity in security tokens both from the technical and financial standpoint.

Some Big Picture Thoughts About Liquidity and Security Tokens

In our first publication —<a href="https://hackernoon.com/market-outlook-on-tokenized-assets-a-usd24trn-opportunity-9bac0c4dfefb" target="_blank"> The Era of Tokenization — market outlook on a $24trn business opportunity</a>, we outlined our granular market sizing of tokenized assets and the potential of a $24trn industry by 2027.

Over the last 9 months, I’ve been working with my partners at <a href="http://www.cityblockcapital.com" target="_blank">CityBlock Capital </a>to successfully issue a regulatory compliant digital security under US law. Our goal has been to use digital securities to create greater access and liquidity to venture capital, and throughout this process, I’ve received a lot of questions from people across all sectors about whether or not they should tokenize an asset or equity in their company. I’ve created this overview on digital security issuance to help others understand where the ecosystem currently stands and to bring more focus and prosperity to the industry as a whole.

Think of the end of the month as a narrative — the chart is a story and market forces determine the plot. Of course, asset managers report their returns monthly. And since, relative to other asset classes, a very small percentage of investors are actively formulating this narrative, it becomes fairly easy to push an agenda either way.

The security token liquidity hype is in full swing. Time and time again we hear: tokenization makes illiquid assets liquid. But just how much is security token liquidity a reality versus a dream?

Can security tokens fulfill their promise of liquidity?

Last week I wrote some ideas about some blockchain protocols I believe could serve as inspiration to the next generation of security token platforms. Today, I would like to take the idea of security tokens 2.0 a step further and present a first iteration of a technology stack to power the next phase of security token platforms. My objective is neither to present an exhaustive list of technologies nor a constrained architecture guideline but rather to summarize some observations about the future of security token platforms that I’ve been sharing with some thought leaders in the space.

Tokenized VC funds have attracted a lot of attention and a little bit of money. This article will explain what the excitement is all about, and what problems remain to be solved. It will dive into the details that professionals will need to design these funds or invest in them. I will also comment on some of the players — naming names and kicking butt.

Blockchain technology is being used to revolutionize a number of industries, including the fixed-income market. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Securitization" target="_blank">Securitized products </a>represent a sector of this market, as these products are pools of financial assets that are brought together to form a new security, which is then divided and sold to investors.

Ever since the signing of the Kyoto protocol in 1997, countries have started limiting the amount of greenhouse gases they produce each year. One way they have done that has been through the establishment of Emissions Trading Schemes (ETS) around the world where industries in certain regions are required to participate. This sets a price per metric ton that it costs to produce greenhouse gases (GHG) beyond a predetermined cap, as participants are forced to buy offsets. It has also led to a voluntary market where individuals and companies can buy carbon offsets to limit their own carbon footprint. The money used to buy offsets goes to projects that reduce GHG emissions in one way or another. The Kyoto protocol established the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), which validates and measures projects to ensure they produce authentic benefits. Qualified projects are certified CDM Gold Standard.
