A securities token offering (STO) is a method of raising capital by issuing digital tokens that represent traditional securities, such as equity or debt. These tokens are subject to securities regulations, offering investor protections and compliance benefits. STOs aim to combine the efficiency of blockchain technology with the legal certainty of regulated financial instruments.
