Utility vs Security Tokens – Still Confused After All This Time?

[Jenny]

Not sure if it's just me, but after years in crypto, I still see debates about what counts as a utility token vs a security token. Is it just a legal label game? If we’re all decentralizing anyway, does the distinction even matter anymore?

I’m still learning but from what I understand the difference between utility tokens and security tokens seems really confusing and feels like it depends a lot on laws and rules that keep changing. Since everything is becoming more decentralized maybe it doesn’t matter as much what label you put on a token but I guess people still want to know if something is legal or not before they invest.
