  STOs and ICOs are both fundraising methods in the digital currency industry, but they differ in their regulatory compliance. STOs are subject to securities regulations, which means they offer investors legal protection and require compliance with financial regulations. On the other hand, ICOs are often unregulated and do not offer the same level of investor protection. This difference in regulatory oversight is one of the main distinctions between STOs and ICOs.

  STOs and ICOs also differ in the types of assets they represent. STOs are backed by tangible assets, such as real estate or company shares, which provide investors with ownership rights. ICOs, on the other hand, typically represent utility tokens that grant access to a specific product or service. This difference in asset backing makes STOs more similar to traditional securities offerings, while ICOs are more like crowdfunding campaigns.
