The security token market, which was touted as something set to revolutionize the investment industry, so far has not lived up to the hype. Despite bitcoin trading volumes reaching new yearly highs, the small amount of secondary trading activity for security tokens has been trending even lower. 

By giving global access to capital, security tokens were meant to provide liquidity to traditional asset classes (especially those which have historically been illiquid such as private equity and real estate). According to data provided by SecurityTokenCap, however, liquidity for security tokens has almost been nonexistent.
