Tokenization 101A guide to understanding the new digital landscape |

AssetAn item of ownership having exchange value BlockchainA growing list of digital records, called blocks, that are linked using cryptography. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data. This information is resilient to data modification due to its transparency via a distributed ledger. CryptoA digital asset that uses strong cryptography to secure its transactions CryptographyWritten or generated codes that allow information to be kept secret or secure Distributed LedgerThe ultimate in transparency, a database is spread across numerous devices (called nodes) on a peer-to-peer network where each replicates and saves an identical copy of the ledger and updates itself independently. The primary security advantage is the lack of central authority. When a ledger update happens, each node constructs the new transaction, then all nodes vote by consensus algorithm on which copy is correct. Once a consensus has been determined, all nodes update themselves with the new, correct copy of the ledger. |

Tokenization is the act of taking any asset and representing it by a digital asset, called a token. There are 2 types of tokens: utility tokens and security tokens. It’s important to understand the difference. A utility token is a crypto token collateralized by a project and where the token is programmed so that the user is granted access to some utility. Typically, these definable benefits are access to a particular service or system. A security token is a crypto token that derives its value from an external, tradable asset or is collateralized by an asset that has security-like features – such as bonds, debentures, notes, options, units, shares (stocks), and warrants. With security tokens, the official record of ownership of a security – such as LLC membership units or shares in a corporation – are taken and reflected as a smart contract on the blockchain. It’s called a smart contract because all of the applicable corporate and securities regulations and governance features are programmed into the token as it is minted – thus, not allowing for any deviation. Each security interest existing within this smart blockchain contract is represented by a digital asset, called a token. Shepherd’s tokenized offerings are all security tokens, regulated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). |

Quite simply, security tokens offer investors the security of a regulated instrument combined with the agility, speed, and other benefits of blockchain – all without changing anything about the underlying investment. |

It’s a scary fact, but most corporate capital tables (commonly known as cap tables) are wrong and most investors don’t actively track their holdings to know it. This is the natural side effect of mathematical expressions like share or unit holdings, vesting schedules, liquidation preferences and options, etc. being defined in legal prose. When updates are manually recorded into the corporate ledger without counter-party verification, errors can easily happen. Even when paper stock certificates are issued, they only show the investor the number of shares – not the critical denominator. Thought about this way, it’s amazing that the current system has been in place for so long. The benefit to a company in tokenizing is that it moves its cap table management and corporate governance onto the blockchain. This provides all security holders – not just management – with a transparent, live view of the corporate cap table and allows for execution of actions without the need for manual, labor intensive processes – including share or unit transfers and approvals. Beyond being provided with this transparency, tokenizing will only impact you as an investor should you elect to take delivery of your security token. Repayment of capital, along with any and all returns, can still be sent to you via your preferred method of payment (ACH, wire, check, etc.) |
|---|
 |
If you do take delivery of your security token, you can either do so directly into your own digital wallet or the issuing company can help you set up a new digital wallet. There are built-in security features inherent in blockchain cap table management that protect against loss or theft of these tokens and provide for re-issuance in such a case. Without a doubt, the number one benefit to tokenization is liquidity. Gone are the days of having to stay in an investment until the pre-determined exit point. Once any requisite SEC hold periods have elapsed, the token holder is free to sell or trade their interest, allowing for the unique option of fractional ownership. Opportunities like selling a portion of your holdings to take your initial investment back while allowing your profits to ride are now available to holders of security tokens. Because operating agreement compliance is hard coded into the token, the transaction is instantaneous and the cap table is updated in real time for all to see. Admittedly, today the marketplace for these tokens is limited. However, that is changing rapidly and many within Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) believe that most corporate assets and global trading exchanges will be tokenized in some form within the coming decade. |

MYTH: Crypto securities aren’t safeOnce you understand the aforementioned material, it’s easy to see why this is a myth. A crypto security is no more or less safe than the underlying asset collateralizing it. If the project or business has independent value, that exists outside of the token. The token is simply a way of providing transparency, control, and liquidity to the holder of these assets. While all things crypto have gotten a bit of a Wild West reputation, the simple fact is that digital securities are some of the most highly regulated assets in the world. There is a valid argument that government oversight and regulation goes directly against the philosophy that underpins blockchain and all things crypto – where freedom reigns and the middle man is removed – but as adoption has gone mainstream and major stock exchanges around the world are beginning to transition to a blockchain structure, it’s clear that regulation has won the battle. |

MYTH: Coins and tokens are the same thingThough people often use the terms tokens and coins interchangeably, the definition of a crypto coin is critically different than that of a crypto token. A crypto coin is a digital asset that is native to its own blockchain. For example, Bitcoin (BTC) operates and functions on the Bitcoin blockchain, Ether (ETH) operates and functions on the Ethereum blockchain, Litecoin (LTC) operates and functions on the Litecoin blockchain, etc. Though Bitcoin should be understood as a store of value rather than a currency, an underlying feature of all crypto coins is that you can use them as currency to pay for goods and services, which can be priced in these terms. The value in a crypto coin is inherent to the coin itself. A crypto token is created on an existing blockchain, with the most widely used and accepted being the Ethereum blockchain platform. Tokens built on the Ethereum platform are known as ERC-20 tokens. The features and benefits of the selected existing blockchain platform are inherent to the token – in addition to the programmed applicable corporate and securities regulations and governance features. The value in a crypto token is tied to the asset collateralizing the token. |
