π The STM team is growing
There comes a time in a company's lifecycle when it's time to take it to the next level.
I am pleased to announce Security Token Market has officially added two full-time team members to take us to new heights!
"So Jonah, who are the team members?"
I'll let Michael introduce them to you!

Allllll the way from DENVERRRR, COLORADOOO.. earning a Bachelor of Science in Strategic Communications from the University of Colorado... with experience at Tik Tok AND Western Union.... everyone please give a warm welcome to MEGANNNNNNNNN NYVOLDDDDDD!
Megan will be joining the team as Head of Media and looking to be an advocate for women in our industry and fintech as a whole.
*If you haven't already, it's time to go back to the normal voice in your head*
She aims to use social media to create a welcoming atmosphere for everyone to feel comfortable participating.
In just her first week, she's already impressed the whole team with her strategic thinking and eagerness to learn.
If you think you have a good understanding of our team now, think again.
Megan is showcasing all of our unique personalities via our Tik Tok channel.

Allllll the way from CHICAGOOOOO, ILLINOISSS...earning a business degree from THE University of Miami... with extensive consulting experience, and even qualifies as an accredited investor... everyone please give a warm welcome to... JASONNNNNN BARRAZAAAA!!!
*Back to the normal voice*
Jason has been working with us in some capacity for over a year now and has been nothing short of exceptional.
Jason is consistently surpassing our expectations and going beyond what is asked of him - if you need to get anything done, he's your guy.
On top of that, he comes with a plethora of business experience.
While attending college, he had the opportunity to consult over 100 startups, giving him an inside look at why companies succeed and fail.
Jason is also a proud Mexican who grew up in a low-income community, with the goal to bring the expertise and knowledge he has gained working in the financial industry back to his family and community.
He envisions a world where the financial industry can become fully democratized that enables everyone to have an equal opportunity to grow their wealth.
Aside from his aspirations, Jason may be the biggest Chipotle fan I know - he once ate it 7 days in a row!
If Chipotle were smart they would sponsor Jason ASAP, befoe other brands do!
Welcome to the team, Jason!
π Security NFTs are here to stay
A few weeks ago I discussed a new acronym coined by Republic, S-NFTs, which stands for security token NFTs.
It's quite confusing because in general, shares in any security are fungible and NFTs are innately non-fungible.
It looks like Entoro has officially adopted this new acronym with a security token NFT of their own!
For those of you who don't know, Entoro is a technology-enabled investment bank and advisory group.
Republic was first to the punch, but Entoro may have created the most unique NFT and security token ever.
During the Texas Blockchain Summit in Austin, Texas last month, Rolando Diaz was asked to paint from scratch live for the audience.
This isn't the first time he was asked to do this.
In fact, he is a world-renown painter who has painted live at events associated with President George W. Bush Jr and other high-profile names.
However, this is the first time an artist has created an original canvas painting to be immediately minted as an NFT and sold as a compliant security!
Yes, you heard that right!
Term of the Security Token NFT offering:
SNFT Name: Buen Viaje (translation β Good Trip or Good Voyage)
Number of SNFTs: 9
Minimum bid: $25,000
Structure: Reg D 506(c) - exclusive to accredited investors
Investor rights: 10% royalty on each subsequent transfer
Payment methods: USD, BTC, ETH, and USDC
Moon Shot Consolidation Option: The right to purchase the original painting at a purchase price equal to the highest price paid for a single NFT if someone purchased all 9 NFTs
This is a super cool way to own an NFT and have the right to royalties!
The NFT holders will not be able to transfer their NFT for 12-months, per the rules when investing in Reg D 506(c) offerings.
However, Entoro, just announced a partnership with the INX ATS to enable the trading of these security NFTs when the lock-up period expires!
I am not for certain how the offering went, but the fact that a partnership with a secondary trading venue was made tells me it went well!
Stay tuned π
