As covered recently, Peter Gaffney from the Security Token Group (STG) notes that the significantly outsized return potential of angel investing, venture capital, and private equity are “well-known” in the finance industry.
Gaffney explains that traditionally, direct access to early-stage investing at “significant magnitudes” was mainly reserved for ultra-high net worth individuals or UHNWIs (with a net worth of at least $30 million). These investment opportunities had also been limited to individuals, family offices, dedicated funds, etc. — “pretty much entities that can foot the bill,” Gaffney added.
But with the recent legislative updates, access to the early-stage startup ecosystem is becoming a lot more widely-accessible, Gaffney confirmed. He also mentioned that companies dedicated to “sculpting the future of capital markets” like Security Token Group and Vertalo “played a key role in opening the legislators’ eyes to the paradigm shift happening within this realm.”
As reported earlier this month, the security tokens market cap remains firmly above half a billion dollars with a 123% increase in monthly trading volume.
As covered last month, the tokenized real estate market surpassed the $27 million mark, and was up 5.45% month-over-month, with more than $172,000 in monthly trading volume.
