Utility and Security Token
What's the difference between these classifications?
📢 Crypto Corner: Security vs. Utility Tokens 🚀

After nearly four years in this ecosystem, I'm truly frustrated with this ongoing argument.
Institutions consistently argument on about securities, using it as an excuse to repeatedly dump the crypto market.
This narrative scares private investors and hedge funds as well.
Today, I want to provide you with the clearest explanation of what a security is, and, on the other hand, what a utility token represents.
Security Tokens: Investments with Regulations 🏦
Represent ownership in a company or asset
Governed by federal securities laws
Issued through Security Token Offerings (STOs)
Value tied to the performance of the underlying entity
Subject to strict legal regulations and compliance
Utility Tokens: Accessing Platform Services 🔑
Used to access specific services within a platform
Not viewed as investments
Offered through Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) or Initial Dex Offerings (IDOs)
Provide access, services, or benefits within the ecosystem
Less regulatory scrutiny, but some utility tokens may be classified as securities
Spotting the Differences:
Purpose: Security tokens for ownership, utility tokens for platform access.
Regulation: Security tokens are regulated, utility tokens are less regulated.
Value: Security tokens tied to assets, utility tokens tied to platform services.
Rights: Security tokens have investor rights, utility tokens don't.
Usage: Security tokens for investments, utility tokens for platform interactions.
