Security token offering (STO), though a newfangled investment instrument, has gained lots of momentum in a very short duration. The reason is, that it complies with the regulations and requirements of SEC, the regulatory authority of the industry. It has revolutionized the industry and has a bullish prospect as per the industry experts.

STO has a competitive edge over other investment options like ICO, but this being the type of private placement of securities, the cost of an issue is higher. Therefore, it is an attractive avenue for professional investors, and attracting large institutional investors seems to be the lucrative offer for STO; they are the “elephant” of the industry.

Large institutional investors have the amplitude to stir the market and thus alluring these would be advantageous for Security Token Offerings. But unlike retail investors who mostly make decision investments based on FUD and FOMO; large institutional investors go through various steps and ultraprecise view of different aspects before reaching a verdict. To lure large institutional investors for STO, the strategy and approach need to be threaded accordingly.

Talking business with an idea and selecting the right path to it :

The trend shift from ICO to STO ignited talks about more and more involvement of large institutional investors in the cryptocurrency community. However, large institutional investors have already adopted the cautious approach and require a satisfying idea to stop and invest. The idea of the working concept of the STO should have been built upon an idea with a futuristic approach and not a self-appreciated and over-hyped project.

The things that large institutional investors are considerate about are innovation and compliance. Nothing goes the same way when the investor is an expert and has thorough knowledge about the concept and technology beneath. The selection of token standards should be such that it extends its arms providing innovation, security, and compliance all at once. To attract such a league of investors having compliance with various laws like KYC, AML, and ATFL is a must, as this is the reason for the switch to STO from ICO, and cannot be neglected.

Large institutional investors need more and more automation and decentralization when the idea is a fruit of technology like blockchain. This awakes the need to investigate how a fully decentralized concept can be implemented in the STO project. This requires creating a conceptualized smart contract with business logic; a smart contract that can handle every complex situation and can swiftly process business decisions in a programming language, without any intervention.

As the STO project is a game to be played legally and technically as well, therefore, having a proficient team is like an invitation card; which in itself tells the whole story. It must have expertise and experience at the back end. The team including developers, advisors, and legal experts should have the expertise, and prior knowledge is an added advantage to have.

Drafting an Idea and involving in the marketing :

All the things need to be presented in a very descriptive and professional style document – White Paper. After all, this is what conveys the whole concept to the investor. It should be pitched right and in accordance with the expert level of the target investors. The white paper is like a salesperson to the project; therefore it should speak not only about the technical aspects and the future development phases of the project but about the team and the knowledge which supports the project as well.

It’s not just a document rather it’s the first building block of the marketing strategy. All the things including having a digital presence, a website, social media marketing, and community engagement need not be overlooked, as a deep investigation of the projects extends to these areas as well.

A brief on how to allure large institutional investors

A well conceptualized and innovative idea creates a base, on which the STO project is to be built. The STO should be seen as a building made out of different building blocks. In this, every block is playing its role which is no less than the others’. The beginning is as important as the end.

The aspects that large institutional investors notice are:

what token sale is all about? Why even the token sale?

How tokens will gain value over time? What will be the ROI and how it be different from the existing available options?

“I believe a champion wins in his mind first, then plays the game, not the other way around.”
