What is a "security token"?

A token is a unit value that exists on an existing blockchain like Bitcoin or Ethereum. Tokens do not have their own blockchain, they only exist on one.

Security tokens issued on STOKR are transferable securities under MiFID II (EU capital market laws).

On the Ethereum blockchain, these security tokens are issued as per the STOKR Framework; a smart contract framework compatible with the ERC 20 standard. Click here for more details.
