Too Long; Didn't Read
Equity tokens are similar to equity shares because they represent an actual share in a company. Also referred to as ‘tokenized securities’, equity tokens are effectively similar to stocks and imply ownership and control of the investor. They are somewhat like traditional stocks and just like them; an equity token can buy you some level of ownership of an organization and its success. To some extent, all tokens could be seen as having some equity-like properties. The value of equity tokens is not just what people are willing to pay on an exchange, but it also holds an intrinsic value — that which is represented by the likes of revenues and IP of the company behind the token.
