The Security Token Anthology: January 2019 Edition

Another month and is time to release another edition of the Security Token Anthology which compiles some of my recent articles about crypto-securities. Last month I added articles about diverse topics such as governance, programmability and introduced the concept of multi-asset collateralized security tokens to refer to digital securities that represent a dynamic pool of underlying assets. The current version of the anthology includes 55 articles. Happy Reading!
