== Introduction ==
Blockchain is a technology that has the capacity of keeping immutable records that are accessible to millions of users and it has the ability to constantly update as property ownership changes hands. Although this technology is broadly used for currency transactions, it is also a very promising technology for the transaction of assets, such as securities, land titles, and art. The Ravencoin platform is well-suited for this purpose because the wallets and asset protocol offer a very easy tool for creating asset tokens that may represent securities, land titles, art, etc using real-world agreements. Furthermore, Ravencoin allows initial coin offerings (ICOs) and security token offerings (STOs).
== STOs and ICOs ===== Tokenizing Securities ===
An important property of Ravencoin is that it is optimized to carry securities as it will allow for messaging share holders, voting, and paying out dividens (implemented in later development phases in the first half of 2019). Bruce Fenton gave a number of talks and produced a miniseries about why securities should go on a blockchain.

=== Coin offerings ===
In addition to STOs, Ravencoin is also suited for ICOs. Although, security regulations in the Unites States make it difficult to set up ICOs, it is still possible in other countries. One company that works in this space is [https://assure.co/ Assure Services]. Assure Services provides administrative and transaction services for the private investment marketplace, such as ICOs. Assure Services issued [https://assure.co/assure-services-prepares-to-launch-blockchain-based-funds-by-purchasing-700-ravencoin-assets/ 700 Ravencoin assets in early November, 2018]. These will be used to tokenize funds and launch additional blockchain-based services.
