BlockBeats News, October 24th, according to official sources, after announcing the completion of Series B equity financing and obtaining an RIA license, the decentralized exchange ANT.FUN officially announced that it has obtained the Security Token Offering (STO) license issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This authoritative license is tailored for institutions providing on-chain real asset services.

In the context of cryptocurrency exchange licensing, the STO license primarily allows companies to raise funds from investors by issuing security tokens, which represent ownership of real assets (such as company equity or revenue rights). Unlike ICOs, STOs are considered securities, providing higher investor protection, including Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements. STO, more commonly known in this cycle, is Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization. STO tokens can be traded on regulated platforms, similar to stock exchanges but for blockchain assets.

Currently, with the SEC advocating for everything to be on-chain and rumors of lowering Reg D and Reg A requirements, ANT.FUN proactively applied for the STO license, laying a solid foundation for future on-chain trading of U.S. and Hong Kong stocks.

By obtaining this license, ANT.FUN has not only solidified its leading position on the compliance path but has also injected strong momentum into the entire Decentralized Finance (DeFi) ecosystem, ushering in a new era of deep integration between crypto platforms and regulatory bodies, empowering global users to achieve more secure and professional digital asset management.
