Asian accelerator STO TECHFUND arrives in Europe
TECHFUND mediates the fundraising process through the STO. STO, an acronym for Security Token Offering, is a process similar to an ICO where an investor exchanges money for coins or tokens representing their investment. But unlike ICOs, STOs go further and distribute tokens that have the status of securities, such as financial securities. They are linked to an underlying investment asset such as stocks, bonds, REITs, or other funds. In this way, STOs distribute securities. These are tokens that are negotiable, fungible financial instruments with monetary value, such as a piece of property or a company. Security tokens are not traded on regular exchanges. This is because exchanges wishing to offer trading in security tokens must comply fully with the rules, including a thorough investigation of token listings, data exchanges, and investor registration procedures. Thus, Security Tokens are traded on specialized exchanges.
Founded in 2014, TECHFUND mainly focuses on token-focused startups, but also helps with web3 and DAO-related infrastructure design and service creation, including blockchain and token listening, decentralized applications (dApp) and digital wallets.
