Security Token Journal: Debt Token as a Better Bond

This will be out of the ordinary that a fixed income analyst comments on cryptocurrency. We have been following tokenization for a while now even before the inception of Bondcritic in April of 2017.  We feel 2020 is the time when security tokens could make the mark in the fixed income world. We see debt tokens as an improvement of a bond issuance process and expect regulators to gradually embrace them. In the future, we can see ourselves analysing debt tokens alongside bonds. In short, debt tokens are bonds on blockchain.

Cryptocurrency has gained a lot more acceptance among traditional investors. Our Security Token Journal (STJ) is to explore potential security tokens which can be and should be invested by our readers. We also aim to explore current events surrounding tokenization and jurisdictions where security tokens will become a norm first.

 In our first edition, we seek to explore debt tokens which are closest to our heart and explain why we believe a debt token is here to stay. There are so many articles on security token offerings (STO) so we will not repeat the obvious. Instead, we will only opine from the angle of debt practitioners and leave the technical part to the cryptographic experts.
