  Security tokens are considered to be a more regulated form of cryptocurrency due to their classification as securities. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, security tokens are subject to the same regulations and oversight as traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. This means that security token offerings (STOs) must comply with securities laws, including registration with regulatory authorities and adherence to disclosure requirements. The increased regulation is intended to provide investors with greater protection and transparency in the cryptocurrency market.

  One reason security tokens are considered more regulated is because they often represent ownership in an underlying asset, such as real estate or a company. This makes them similar to traditional securities, which are heavily regulated to protect investors. By subjecting security tokens to the same regulations, regulators aim to prevent fraud and ensure that investors have access to accurate and reliable information before making investment decisions.
