Enosi Announces Australia’s first Security Token Offering (STO) with bonus Utility Tokens
SYDNEY, Oct. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Enosi Australia Pty Ltd (www.enosi.io) has released a world-first in terms of blockchain project funding – a security token offer (STO) of ordinary shares along with bonus utility tokens.
The offer is unique in that the Joul token being allocated to investors is administered and controlled by an independent third party, the Enosi Foundation, and investors will benefit from global adoption promoted by the Foundation.
The offering comes in light of the recent collapse of the cryptocurrency market worldwide. Nearly 70% of value has been lost in the global cryptocurrency market since its peak in late 2017.
As a result, many blockchain investors have called for equity in the underlying technology companies. While this now aligns with the more traditional venture capital approach, it has also meant that powerful network effects, the very thing that drove investment into crypto in the first place, are at risk of being lost. Enosi has retained a true utility token in its model to drive user adoption of the platform.
Enosi Australia CEO, Steve Hoy explains, "The beauty of utility tokens is that all participants of a network are rewarded for the growth of that network. We've recognised the call for equity, but believe management should not have two masters – equity holders and utility token holders," Hoy added.
With this separation, Enosi Australia is bringing together the traditional equity play that commercialises technology for the company's benefit, with a community of network participants who can come together to use and build the platform, improve it, and be rewarded for doing so.
