“Despite the sector’s momentum, Overstock’s tZERO alternative trading system is estimated to host 95% of secondary security token trade. Overstock’s digital security OSTKO represents approximately 80% of secondary volume, with tZERO’s native token TZROP comprising 15% of the monthly total,” a report in Cointelegraph said.

The platform announced yesterday that it will soon support a third token in ASPEN, the digital security representing fractionalized ownership in a five-star 179-room resort located in Colorado, the report added.
