The STO Market is Too Fragmented, but Genius Estates is Trying to Change That

If any offering from the blockchain market has been revolutionary,
it has been Security Token Offerings. Its predecessor, Initial Coin
Offerings (ICOs) allowed for promising projects to raise funds by
selling native tokens that would hopefully appreciate in value if
the project was successful. STO’s go a step further by allowing
people to buy tokenized ownership in assets and projects,
oftentimes giving them access to investment vehicles they could not
buy outright. This has been heavily leveraged by the property
market, with various real estate projects being tokenized and sold.
Despite this, there are a few underlying issues within the STO
market that need to be addressed, mainly the fragmentation of
projects. A Divided Market? STO projects are more common these days
and while this means that there are more opportunities to buy into,
each comes with their own rules and platforms. Oftentimes, users
need to sign up on a specific blockchain-based platform ahead of a
sale and then buy a specific digital token that represents
ownership in the project. The problem with this is that investors
will have to juggle multiple platforms, sets of rules, and token
setups in order to buy into investment vehicles. While this worked
when the STO sector was first emerging, it must be improved going
forward, especially as more people enter the market. In the same
way, crypto users do not log into a different website every time
they want to buy a different token, STOs need to be accessible from
a single platform. One company, Genius Estates, has already
created a marketplace for STOs that runs on its native token,
GENiUX. How GENiUX Works GENiUX is the native coin in the
blockchain-based investment marketplace specifically designed to
allow for seamless investments in STO projects from anywhere around
the world using one token. When users hold their native token, they
can log into Genius Assets marketplace next year and buy into any
number of STO projects using the balance from their wallet. Until
then, you can still invest in the real estate platform, Genius
Estates. Some of the offerings include buying into real estate
projects, aviation projects, and even NFTs. Holders of the token
will be able to receive dividends from the projects they invested
in, in the form of the native token which, once again, streamlines
the process and ensures that all transactions can be viewed from a
single dashboard. For those users who refer others to Genius
Estates, rewards are paid out in the native token, which is up to
ERC-20 standards, and also euro. Genius Estates is having the first
phase of its token pre-sale in August 2021 and as more projects are
boarded onto its platform, the price of its token will rise even
more. There will be a total token supply of 1 billion tokens and a
circulating supply of 700,000,000 tokens. One of the company’s
biggest focuses with regards to investment vehicles is real estate,
with the first property project in Ireland underway and dividends
to begin disbursement by January 2022. All real estate projects
that are invested in will pay out rental income to investors on a
trimester or annual basis and for those looking to build a passive
income source, this would be a good option. Other dividends from
any type of asset like air, roads, and so on will be paid depending
on the project itself. The major theme, though, is inclusivity and
allowing everyday consumers to make money on certain investment
opportunities that would normally not be available to them due to
high costs. Now, people can invest with smaller amounts of money.
As the Genius-Estates website states, real estate investment is no
longer just for professional or institutional investors – now,
anyone can claim the real estate market and begin building wealth.
Uniting an Industry What Genius Estates is doing goes beyond just
offering a token for its customers; it is actively bringing the STO
sector under one roof. By cutting out the often long process of
sourcing different STOs and allowing customers to buy from a single
place, they are streamlining the investment process. Furthermore,
it is providing the opportunity for passive income creation for
customers who can invest in real estate, NFTs, air travel, sports,
and so on. From buying into investment vehicles to receiving
dividends to referring friends and family, GENiUX is allowing its
users to fully tap into the power of blockchain and reap the
benefits as they do. The STO sector, as it grows, will likely see
the same trajectory as the crypto industry in that consumers will
have single platforms to buy a multitude of assets as opposed to
doing it all individually. STOs will also become a bonafide way of
creating passive income, albeit with the twist of being attached to
blockchain technology. The company will be making more
announcements following its presale, including new projects to be
onboarded and new features such as its savings app which is due to
launch later this year.
