유틸리티 토큰 대 증권 토큰: 주요 차이점 설명

증권 토큰은 왜 중요한가?

The ICO market continues to expand. According to a report from Business Insider, companies raised over $5.6 billion in 2017. While this number seems impressive, the ICO activity of 2018 eclipsed it. By 2018년 5월, the ICO market expanded to $6.3 billion. This record growth and the growing appeal of ICOs make this unique crowdfunding strategy a favorite among tech startups.

The record growth of the ICO sector led to increased scrutiny from regulators such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The task of developing regulations for the growing ICO market falls on this organization, depending on how the token is used. The SEC decided that when a token represents ownership, voting rights, or entitles the holder to a share of future profits, it’s a security token.

It isn’t always that easy to determine if a coin is a security or utility token. In many instances, a token starts off as a security during an ICO but later evolves into a utility token. This scenario is the case for the hugely popular cryptocurrency Ethereum (ETH ). In a 2018년 6월 speech, the SEC 언급했습니다 이더리움이 초기에는 증권으로 운영되었지만 오늘은 유틸리티 토큰이라고 밝혔습니다.
