Security Token Partners (now Security Token Group)

01 / WHAT IT BUILT

What the company did

Security Token Partners — later renamed Security Token Group — is a blockchain entrepreneurship venture co-founded by Kyle Sonlin during his college years, focused on reinventing capital markets with blockchain-enabled security tokens. It grew into a group of nearly 30 people with three arms: Security Token Market (an industry-leading data and media company for security tokens, cited by Forbes and Bloomberg, with a private-market index tracking tens of billions in tokenized assets across 100+ global exchanges), Security Token Advisors (a consulting company helping issuers, investors and managers use security tokens), and Security Token Capital (creating tokenized investment products built and managed on blockchain). Sonlin also co-authored 'Blockchain Explained: Your Ultimate Guide to the Tokenization of Finance,' used as course material at universities including the University of Miami and UCLA.
