Advantages

  • Fully regulated and compliant

  • Can pay dividends from sales
  • Higher credibility and trust

Considerations

  • Higher legal/compliance costs
  • Longer setup time (3-6 months)
  • May be limited to accredited investors
  • Ongoing compliance requirements

Use Case

Issue security tokens representing fractional ownership of the 39 original paintings. Token holders receive proportional proceeds when paintings sell or generate licensing revenue.

Our Recommendation: For the Charles Gilchrist Estate, we recommend an STO (Security Token Offering) for fractional ownership of original paintings, combined with NFTs for digital editions. This hybrid approach maximizes both legal protection and accessibility.
