Security Token Investing Guide

The tokenization of real-world assets is going to become a big thing for investors, says Mark Fidelman, the managing director of SmartBlocks, in a new episode of the Early Bird podcast.

Definition: Fidelman defines a security token as a digital asset that is similar to stocks, but unlike other digital coins, it is backed by something in value.

Pros and Cons: Security tokens represent valuable opportunities that are typically not available to regular investors (such as equity, debt, or real estate), but Fidelman warns that security tokens have low liquidity and that there could be new regulations coming soon.

Also: The security token itself is tradable and there could be benefits programmed into the security token for the owner of that asset, according to Fidelman.

Final Thoughts: How can new investors get access to security tokens? Fidelman explains in a new episode of the Early Bird podcast.
