    Security tokens unlock the hidden potential of alternative assets

    It’s not just that small investors could buy into real estate. With security tokens they could invest in every Central Park-facing New York co-op above the seventh floor

    For technology to be a true game-changer, it must focus on making something possible that was previously not possible.

    SEC offers security token broker-dealers a five-year enforcement holiday

    The first step in providing long-awaited regulatory clarity for security token sales comes as the agency drops the hammer on Ripple for selling the XRP, which it claims is an unregistered security

    Saying that it “recognizes that the market for digital asset securities is still new and rapidly evolving,” the agency noted that the enforcement holiday is specifically for digital assets— or security tokens—that qualify as securities regulated by the SEC.
