The TLDR on the SEC's new token framework:
Projects could raise up to $5M under a startup exemption or up to $75M under a fundraising exemption.
Both require disclosures around the token and investment contract. The larger tier adds financial statements and ongoing reporting.
And once a team completes its promised managerial work, thereโs a path for the token to exit securities treatment entirely.
Overall, clearer rules for raising capital and stronger disclosure standards to protect investors.
Onwards.
