 ICO vs STO - Key Differences For Successful Fundraising

Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and Security Token Offerings (STOs) are two fundraising methods used by many emerging startups to raise capital. The main difference between these two methods is the type of token offered.


Sure, here's a table summarizing some key differences between ICOs and STOs


Initial Coin Offering (ICO)


  • Utility token - represents access to a product or service
  • ICO is launched without backing any assets 
  • Unregulated
  • Fewer requirements, with lower costs and quicker time-to-market
  • Complete anonymity 
  • No fundraising limits 
  • Limited protection


Security Token Offering (STO)


  • Security token - represents a financial stake in an underlying asset or business
  • STO is launched by backing any real-time assets to create security tokens
  • Regulated, with clear legal frameworks 
  • Compliance requirements, with higher costs and longer time-to-market
  • Transparency for investors
  • Fundraising is limited by security laws
  • Strong legal protections


You may now have some thoughts about ICOs and STOs. After you understand the key differences between the ICO and STO methods, you may compare them to determine which is best for your company's needs.


Choose ICO if you want an unregulated and unlimited fundraising method, or want to launch with strong legal protections choose STO.
