What is a "security token"?

A security token is a digital representation of a unit value that exists on a blockchain. Security tokens don't have their own blockchain but are issued on existing networks.

Security tokens issued on STOKR are fully compliant transferable securities under MiFID II (EU capital market regulations). On STOKR tokenized securities are issued on the Liquid Network, a Bitcoin sidechain that provides:

• Confidential transactions for privacy protection
• Transfer restrictions for regulatory compliance
• Fast settlement in under two minutes
• On-chain whitelisting capabilities
