  • Utility Token Business Model
    INTRODUCTION ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) market has quickly expanded. This new way of raising funds that arose during the last several years have beaten records. In 2017, numerous projects have emerged thanks to ICOs seeking to solve a problem or offer a service related to the blockchain technology. During the crypto bull run1, 209 cryptocurrencies and tokens were created through the ICO process. These projects allowed their founders to raise close to 5.6 billion dollars2, a record at the time. In 2018, despite the first semester strong decline in cryptocurrencies market, the number of ICOs has rocketed as never before. During the first 7 months, 638 ICOs were launched for nearly 17 billion dollars injected in projects by the blockchain community. It’s no more a secret to say that the ICOs’ growth have been displacing the one of all current fundraising mechanisms. Unfortunately, like any other major technological breakthrough at the beginning, the ICO has many flaws. These led to excesses and abuses surfing on the initial euphoria, the lack of security, regulation, transparency and the inexperience of stakeholders, whether investors or project founders. Many articles and studies have pointed out the high failure rate of projects and the number of unpunished scams rising due to ICO model. As all blockchain enthusiasts, at Eqwity we are dreaming about a smart regulated industry, where the fairness comes first. But to achieve this objective, the actions of blockchain industry stakeholders should be strengthening its foundations. These last two years, the ICO has been the cornerstone of the industry development, but its many abuses did not foster a healthy growth, a good use of raised funds and above all, its complete acceptation by all the institutions.

  • Singapore STO Security Token Offering Lawyer Law Firm
    RESSOS LEGAL PTE. LTD. MEMORANDUM TO: File DATE: 2018-12-01 FROM: Ressos Legal Pte. Ltd. MATTER: SUBJECT: How to do a Security Token Offering (STO) in Singapore A. OVERVIEW I. Security Token Offerings (“STOs”) and Tokenisation: Welcome to the brave new world of blockchain-based securities Tokenisation, the process of creating a digital token from an underlying asset such as shares in a company or a physical asset, is widely viewed as a fundamental game-changer for financial markets. A natural evolution of the traditional concept of securitisation, tokenisation creates a highly liquid, trillion-dollar market of tradeable digital securities. This is an unprecedented opportunity for companies wishing to raise funds. Tokenisation implies the creation of a digital token. Both the terms Security Token Offering (“STO”) as well as Initial Coin Offering (“ICO”) describe token generation events (“TGE”). A TGE is the process of issuing of units on a blockchain by a company (“Issuer”). It is a specialised form of fundraising which often competes with venture capital and other forms of corporate finance. Conventionally, the term ICO is used for a TGE made in respect of utility tokens, whereas the term STO is used for a TGE made in respect of security tokens. This memorandum describes how to do an STO in Singapore and covers key aspects such as the regulatory framework, legal and tax structuring considerations as well as the typical offering documentation to be prepared, Anti-Money Laundering ("AML") compliance requirements, as well as the typical corporate structure. Please note that this memorandum is general in nature, must not be construed as legal advice and no reliance should be placed on any aspect of this memorandum when making any decisions.

  • Security Token Offerings
    Security token offerings: The next phase of financial market evolution? Since the advent of Bitcoin in 2009, the profile of blockchain – a combination of distributed ledger technology (DLT) with a variety of block-based encryption technologies – has soared. While there has been a great deal of volatility and speculation in certain virtual assets and other blockchain-related financing, including a high profile peak in 2018, there is now wide consensus regarding the value of blockchain and other forms of DLT in finance. While Facebook’s announcement of Libra was probably the highest profile example, the most important examples going forward are likely to come as blockchain plays an increasing role in financial infrastructure such as securities settlement, in monetary and payments systems through central bank digital currencies, and in the context of liquidity and access to financing through tokenization, in particular security token offerings. Going forward, the real value of the underlying technologies of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies comes in the form of its role in security, in transparency, in permanence, each of which is essential to financial markets efficiency, trust and confidence, as well as safety and soundness. Security Token Offerings (STOs) combine the technology of blockchain with the requirements of regulated securities markets to support liquidity of assets and wider availability of finance. STOs are typically the issuance of digital tokens in a blockchain environment in the form of regulated securities. The blockchain environment enhances securities regulatory objectives of disclosure, fairness and market integrity and supports innovation and efficiency through automation and “smart contracts”. In terms of the token aspect, an STO is essentially the digital representations of ownership of assets (e.g.

  • A Market Overview of Custody for Digital Assets Digital Custodian Whitepaper June 2020
    A Market Overview of Custody for Digital Assets Digital Custodian Whitepaper June 2020 A Market Overview of Custody for Digital Assets Foreword The growth of the digital assets market has been indisputable with the industry’s estimated value reaching US$ 239 bn, as measured by total cryptocurrency market capitalisation. Digital assets are already disrupting traditional financial services, and they have a key role to play in the future growth of the sector. Financial market participants and regulators of financial services will need to carefully consider digital assets in their strategic objectives before mainstream adoption. The Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC) and the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), together with financial services advisory firms such as Deloitte, are already adapting our business and supervisory practices to incorporate thought leadership in this exciting area of growth. The DIFC, as the leading financial services hub for the region, is seeing continued and growing interest in digital assets. The DFSA welcomes this development in its renewed focus to promote the future of finance while ensuring consumers have appropriate protections and financial stability is safeguarded. Buy-in from institutional investors, financial institutions and the general day-to-day investor is the key enabler to unlock the next level of digital asset adoption. Instilling confidence in digital assets will be necessary to attract these investor groups and the role of digital asset custodians will be critical to achieve this. Unlike traditional financial services products and providers who had years to define how the products and solutions operate, digital assets and their custody is still a nascent market.
