Security Tokens

A security token represents ownership in a real asset — equity, debt or revenue — and is regulated like a traditional security.

In depth

Tokenised shares of a company or a bond are security tokens. They bring blockchain settlement to conventional finance but must comply with securities law, which usually restricts who can buy them. Tokenised US stocks on exchanges fall into this general family.

A share certificate morphing into a token, with a regulator’s stamp beside it.

Why it matters

Tokenised stocks and similar products on StableX are built on this concept.
