As Originally Published on thetokenist.io
Security tokens are often touted by investors, but what do they offer for entrepreneurs? As it turns out, quite a lot.
Security tokens are looking to tokenize a financial industry to make it more accessible and to boost liquidity. It’s true, security tokens have serious promise for investors. However, for everyday entrepreneurs, what will they get out of it? Security tokens have much to offer to them as well. In fact, it’s usually understated.
Improved Crowdfunding
One of the major selling points of security tokens is that they make crowdfunding much easier. Whereas previously more restricted to accredited investors, a tokenized model allows for easier capital raising. This means that startups can get off the ground and running much faster. It also expands the investor pool beyond just a small minority of large players.
The end result is more capital into the hands of everyday entrepreneurs.
Increased Liquidity
Liquidity is more important from an investor perspective, but it’s also crucial for entrepreneurs as well. With high liquidity, you can easily move assets around and thus help your business grow more effectively. Overall, boosted liquidity is a win-win for both long-term investors and entrepreneurs.
Emerging Technologies Will Feel the Boom
When it comes to security tokens, those companies who have the foresight to tap into this still-underdeveloped will have the most to gain. Right now, the so-called ‘unicorns’ in the space seem to all be focusing on AI, blockchain, energy, telecommunications, and health. It’s ultimately these sectors that will propel the security token sector forward and have the most to gain in its success.
In short, entrepreneurs will definitely feel the boost from the security token sector. With easier means of crowdfunding and boosted liquidity, the entire economy will feel the impact.
