IBC, ABOTMI, and Adbits Join the Security Token Alliance
Tokyo, Japan — August 26, 2019 — The Security Token Alliance, an alliance that brings together organizations advancing the security token industry, is announcing that IBC, ABOTMI, and Adbits are among the latest to partner with the Alliance.
The Security Token Alliance is founded on the belief that the present and future of digitized securities will benefit from wide participation in projects and an ecosystem for stakeholder connections. The organization was founded in May 2019 by Frederik Bussler.
IBC is a full-service blockchain consulting agency. Providing fundraising, development, marketing, legal, strategy, and advisory solutions, IBC helps promising start-ups and established companies fundraise, design, build and deploy blockchain projects, and works with larger organizations to incorporate the technology into their company.
ABOTMI is a global professional network that enables: 1. Investors to build personalized wealth by connecting with qualified digital asset advisors. 2. Advisors to help the community build, manage, and share their reputation. 3. Issuers to list and educate investors about offerings.
Adbits is a Global IT Solutions company providing turn-key solutions. They have emerged as one of the most trustworthy and reliable solutions providers in the crypto, tech, and IT industry.
We spoke with the CEO of Adbits— Zeeshan Khan, the CBO of ABOTMI— Constantin Kogan, and the CEO of IBC Group — Mario Nawfal, to discuss the industry and our new partnerships.
Why Join the Security Token Alliance?
The Security Token Alliance was borne out of seeing the fragmentation and immaturity of a high-potential industry — Security Tokens. We established a powerful network of over 100 industry executives to combat this. Mario of IBC Group notes some of the major advantages of joining the Alliance:
“Frederik and his STA initiative is another important brick in the nascent STO industry, and will play a key role in the development of the space. IBC’s heavy involvement in STOs since early 2018 means it will bring and gain tremendous value by joining STA.”
As the Security Token industry is literally being built from scratch, having a solid bedrock is crucial.
Further, Constantin of ABOTMI notes that the Alliance can help foster adoption of new digital asset technology:
“We are excited to join the Security Token Alliance to promote greater adoption of digital assets.”
Zeeshan of Adbits notes that the community itself enables open knowledge sharing that can be change-making for members:
“We always wanted to be a part of a community where we could learn and spread knowledge in emerging technologies. STA provides exactly the same platform where we can be a part of an ecosystem and help transform the traditional economy with Blockchain.”
Ultimately, the Alliance appreciates and fosters input from members to shape the industry.
New Contributions to the Alliance
Although the Security Token industry is relatively new, it is incredibly complex, with many players ranging from infrastructure to capital raising to legal, and more.
ABOTMI aims to provide the Alliance with a professional investor and advisor network:
“As a professional network connecting investors to verified digital asset advisors, we focus on investor protection and education.”
IBC— a key consulting player — will bring their expertise to players planning to do an STO:
“IBC is a leading consulting firm for any projects wanting to launch an STO or even seeking initial seed capital to fund an STO.”
Finally, Adbits will provide greater geographical reach to the Alliance with various expert events:
“We host a number of events in London, Dubai and India where we invite number of businesses and investors to discuss about the ideas, share what’s new in the industry and how Blockchain use-cases can improve the society. I wish to bring in our skills, experience and spread the word out there about tokenization.”
Industry Trends
The digital assets industry moves incredibly fast. Though the traditional financial market is historically resistant to change, Security Tokens are disrupting finance as institutions are entering, as ABOTMI notes:
“Institutionalization of the space, the market players starting to care more about their reputation.”
Not only are institutions entering in a big way, but private investors in general are entering the market, as IBC Group notes:
“As expected, the STO space is gaining tremendous attention with significant capital flowing privately from investors around the world. Liquidity will take time, this is expected for such a nascent innovation.”
Adbits notes that Security Tokens finally provide a crypto asset that is actually backed, which is paving that way towards mass adoption:
“Crypto investors always wanted something investible which is backed by a value, and security token provides the same. We are slowly seeing the mass adoption in tokenization of assets around the world, either to raise funds in assets, or for the faster payments around the globe.”
The Future Of Our Partnerships
In closing, Zeeshan of Adbits remarks:
“I would like to take an active lead and participation in STA, whereby encouraging people to understand the benefits of tokenization, help create a strategy, and build an ecosystem of some of the amazing projects.”
Mario of IBC notes:
“STOs are the future, it’s a matter of when, and IBC will continue to bring value in any way possible with the aim of further developing the space, educating investors and on boarding more capital into the world of tokenization.”
The Security Token Alliance is currently signing and on-boarding a wide cross-section of respected security token professionals and organizations with the goal of broadening participation in digital assets in order to create the best financial outcomes for humanity.
