Security Token Show: #21 - Token Price Transparency
Tuesday Dec 03, 2019
Tuesday Dec 03, 2019
Tune in to this episode of the Security Token Show where Kyle Sonlin and Herwig Konings discuss the latest Security Token News and Insights with this week's focus on market transparency.
Liquidity is one of the core value propositions of Security Tokens. Even though we now have a financial technology that makes the transfer of ownership more efficient and easier, it doesn’t mean that alone will create liquidity. For that, we need active markets and for active markets to emerge, we need strong price discovery and transparency for investors - we’ll discuss the topic in more detail with a big announcement later in the episode.

Security Token Show: #20 - Fractionalized Real Estate
Tuesday Nov 19, 2019
Tuesday Nov 19, 2019
Tune in to this episode of the Security Token Show where Kyle Sonlin and Herwig Konings discuss the latest Security Token News and Insights with this week's focus on fractional ownership!
Real estate is a hot topic in the security token space. With the asset class being an incredibly popular investment opportunity both domestically and internationally, the idea that real estate developers can fractionalize their ownership and that real estate can be distributed across hundreds or thousands of investors is revolutionary. Today, we’re going to dissect exactly why that is.
