Singapore-based boutique consultancy IWS FinTech has launched a new proposition that helps businesses with landing fresh funds through security token offerings.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe security token industry is booming and is projected to be worth trillions in the coming years,\u201d says Danny Christ<\/a>, Chief Digital Officer of IWS FinTech.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd as the security token industry matures, the need for qualified advisors becomes increasingly critical. Our new practice offers an established track record and a full suite of consultancy services for start-ups and established companies looking to raise funds via security token offerings.\u201d<\/p>\n Growing alongside the segments of initial coin offerings and initial exchange offerings, security token offerings combine the technology of blockchain with the requirements of regulated securities markets to support liquidity of assets and wider availability of finance. The tokens in essence are digital representations of ownership of assets (e.g. gold, real estate) or economic rights (e.g. a share of profits or revenue) managed by smart contracts in a blockchain environment.<\/p>\n According to Christ, \u201csecurity token offerings are more secure than initial coin offerings due to lower costs, improved security, more liquidity, and are more transparent. Security token offerings also simplify management and digitalise assets.\u201d Meanwhile, security tokens are subject to securities regulations, as opposed to initial exchange offerings which tend to trade on unregulated virtual asset exchanges.<\/p>\n Setting up and executing a security token offering is however easier said than done. \u201cIt\u2019s a real greenfield market. Only those with a thorough understanding and well-versed in the regulatory and legal aspects of security tokens, as well as the cryptocurrency markets, can provide the best advice possible,\u201d explains Christ.<\/p>\n IWS FinTech specialises in disruptive technologies such as blockchain, fintech and blockchain, and has already helped several businesses with exploring growth financing via security token offerings.<\/p>\n![\"Expected](\"https:\/\/www.consultancy.asia\/illustrations\/news\/detail\/2022-03-20-103314742-Expected-Market-Growth-Security-Token-Offerings.jpg\" "\\"Expected")
