Verseon to use BlockRules Platform for Upcoming Security Token Offering
Drug Discovery Platform
Today brought the announcement of another upcoming security token offering. This upcoming event is to be held by biotechnology company, Verseon. The STO itself will be facilitated through a recently developed comprehensive platform by BlockRules.
This event will see the distribution of digital securities known as preferred shares. These will provide token holders with the rights to a proportionate share of future revenues from drug programs.
Verseon is working with regulators to ensure that the opportunity to participate in the sale extends throughout the globe. This means that accredited investors from the UK, US, EU, and more can all take part.
Verseons usage of the BlockRules platform is important to note, as it is what will allow for the STO to remain compliant in these various jurisdictions. Inconsistencies in regulation has always made international investing a tricky endeavour. With the advent of blockchain and STOs, this process has now become much more feasible.
Should this STO prove to be successful, it will not be surprising to see pharmaceutical companies begin hosting multiple of these events. Each event can potentially act as a funding program for one specific drug under development, with token holders entitled to revenue from the sale of that drug. This entire process stands to aid in the development of new drugs, as the manufacturing companies gain easier access to funding, greatly expediting the process.
