Why are we issuing security tokens as opposed to utility tokens?
Given the most recent position of the SEC that most tokens issued in an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) are securities, we took the position that issuing security tokens under a Security Token Offering (STO) was the best course of action to protect the interests of our investors and Vytalyx. Unlike utility tokens, which typically only grant you access to use certain services, security tokens typically grant the purchaser certain rights in the company offering such security tokens, which in turn has the potential to better align investor and token issuer interests. At Vytalyx, we believe in being proactive with respect to regulations so that we can not only foster the growth of our tokenized model but for other companies wishing to raise capital through STOs.
