FinTech4Good Convenes 2019 NYC Security Token Forum on April 12

[New York City, USA] – Following the success of the DC Security Token Night last month, FinTech4Good will host the 2019 New York Security Token Forum (NYSTF2019) on April 12th in the Time Square Tower, New York City.

Security Token Offering (STO) has emerged as a new and compliant model to raise fund in 2018. It is estimated that STOs will grow to $10 trillion in the coming 10 years. However, STO is still in a very early stage and many traditional investors and companies are not well informed of the potential challenges and benefits of security tokens. Hosted by FinTech4Good in collaboration with Blockchain Economist Show and BlockGlobe, the NYSTF brings together issuance platforms, exchanges, advisory firms, law firms, investors and regulators to discuss issues around challenges and opportunities associated with the mainstreaming of STO.   

“We have been following closely of the global token markets in the past few years”, said Xiaochen Zhang, the president of FinTech4Good, “Combining the strength of the tools and legal framework in the traditional security market with the liquidity associated with tokenization, Security Token Offering presents some of the most promising opportunities in the financial markets. However, there are some key questions yet to be answered. Is STO going to be only another hype or can it be applied to transform capital markets? What new standards and protocols should be developed to the new asset class? Who are the key players? Is the current legal framework adequate in enabling innovations and protect investors at the same time? The goal of the NYSTF2019 is to bring the world class experts to ask some of the toughest questions, surface some initial answers and build consensus in moving this industry forward.”
