What future regulation and commercialization of crypto solutions will be? As security token offerings are classified as securities, regulations applicable to securities will typically apply to Security Token Offerings (STOs) in addition to regulations specific to issuing tokens or another crypto asset

FinTech (Financial Technology) and Blockchain technology (distributed ledger technology or DLT) are prevalent topics among technology leaders in finance today. The regulatory momentum that began in 2020 will continue in 2021 as regulators around the world seek to either fit blockchain technology into existing regulatory frameworks or build out new approaches.

Watch Stobox Interview with Andy Lian - an intergovernmental blockchain expert, Member of the Advisory Board at Hyundai Technologies, prolific speaker, and book author to find out more insights about the adoption of blockchain.

We are now seeing significant growth in digital assets. People from all over the world have flocked to digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Cardano (ADA), Stellar (XLM), Monero (XMR).

Retail investors are actively buying up cryptocurrencies, institutions both traditional and digitally native have started embracing digital assets, publicly-listed corporations like Tesla have diversified their balance sheets with bitcoin, and legacy financial institutions like Goldmans Sachs and JP Morgan are rolling out crypto products to their clients.

Innovations in decentralized finance (DeFi) also demonstrate how blockchain-based solutions have the potential to disrupt many aspects of the financial services sector through lower-cost options. DeFi is likely to have a significant impact on how banks and financial systems will operate in the future.
