\nFinancing based on blockchain technology opens a horizon of innovative opportunities for obtaining funds and creating cutting-edge financial services.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\nWithin this area, two protagonists stand out: STOs (Security Token Offerings) and DeFi protocols (Decentralized Finance).<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\nDespite sharing the same technological foundation in the blockchain, these two approaches differ significantly in their operational dynamics, applicable regulations, obstacles to overcome, and inherent risks.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\nSTOs provide companies with the ability to issue security tokens backed by financial assets, such as stocks, bonds, or real estate. This mechanism facilitates investment in fragments of emblematic buildings or in shares of promising companies, through digital tokens. The process of launching an STO begins with the issuance of these security tokens, which investors can purchase in both cash and cryptocurrencies. The intriguing thing is that all transactions linked to these tokens are recorded and executed on a blockchain, providing a level of transparency and traceability at each stage. However, it is important to note that carrying out an STO implies compliance with current financial regulations.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\nOn the other hand, DeFi protocols operate in a completely decentralized environment and without intermediaries, thus representing an alternative to STOs. These protocols make use of smart contracts on the blockchain to automate a wide variety of financial transactions, including lending, trading, and generating passive income. The distinctive feature of DeFi protocols lies in their decentralized approach. Users interact directly with smart contracts through their digital wallets, granting them access to financial services without relying on traditional intermediaries such as banks or stockbrokers. Unlike STOs, for the most part, DeFi protocols are not subject to established financial regulations.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\nIt is relevant to highlight that the DeFi community has implemented measures to mitigate inherent technical and security risks, including security audits carried out by experts, the use of reliable oracles to obtain external information and the adoption of best practices in cybersecurity, all with the purpose of protecting users’ assets and data, as highlighted by Sede Blockchain.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
