REGULATORY OVERVIEW

Overview and reading notes

Security tokens record or represent securities interests such as shares, bonds or fund units on a blockchain; using a token format does not exempt them from securities laws. Reg D, Reg S, Reg A and Reg CF address different exemptions from registration of offerings and do not replace broker-dealer, ATS, investment-adviser or custody qualifications. A project should first examine the issuer's location, investor scope, use of funds and rights structure, then design its documents, marketing, settlement and annual maintenance.

Regulatory authority
SEC and state securities regulators; FINRA is included for securities brokerage or crowdfunding intermediaries. Derivatives and money services activities require separate assessment by CFTC/NFA, FinCEN and state financial regulators.
Scope of business
Applicable to the issuance of company equity and debt, real estate project interests, fund interests and tokenised revenue rights that constitute securities; third-party custody receipts or synthetic exposure require separate characterisation. This topic does not treat all crypto assets as securities, nor does it extend offering exemptions into authorisation to operate payment, banking, derivatives or securities trading platform businesses.
Capital and finance
The four offering pathways have no uniform minimum paid-in capital standard for STO. Rule 506(b)/(c) has no federal fundraising cap; Reg A Tier 1 and Tier 2 permit maximum amounts of US$2,000 × ten thousand and US$7,500 × ten thousand, respectively, within 12 months; Reg CF permits a maximum of US$500 × ten thousand within 12 months. A fundraising cap is not registered capital; if establishing a proprietary BD/ATS, net capital should be calculated separately according to the actual business.
Processing time information
There is no uniform approval commitment for the full STO process. Form D is generally filed within 15 days after the first sale; Reg A securities may not be sold until SEC qualification; the advance notice period for an ATS is not the time required to obtain all operating qualifications. Commercial timelines for documents, audits, bank and intermediary reviews must be estimated case by case; do not advertise a fixed number of days with guaranteed approval.

01 | Legal character: separately assess securities offerings, registration and business licences

STO是Security Token Offering的简称,描述以代币形式发行证券的安排,不是美国监管机构签发的一张统一牌照。股票或债券等已列明的证券不需要因为上链就重新假设为非证券;收益参与安排则要结合投资合同等规则判断。Howey分析关注投入、共同事业、利润预期及他人的重要经营努力,但不能取代对其他证券类别的判断。[1] [2]

发行人必须为每一次证券要约和销售找到注册或适用豁免。Form D属于豁免发行通知,Form 1-A属于Reg A发行申报及qualification程序,Form C属于众筹披露;三者都不是证券经纪商牌照。发行豁免只处理特定发行交易的注册问题,不当然允许替别人招揽、收交易佣金、提供投资管理或开设撮合市场。[4] [30]

  • SEC注册或qualification不代表监管机构认可投资价值、保证收益或批准底层资产质量。
  • 公司登记、证券发行豁免和金融机构经营资格必须在合同与网站宣传中分开表述。

02 | Applicable categories: equity, debt, real estate, funds and third-party instruments

公司股权代币应说明表决权、分红权、稀释及清算顺位,并与公司章程和股份名册衔接。债权代币应说明发行人、利息、到期、担保和违约执行机制。房地产项目中的代币通常代表项目公司权益或合同收益权,不一定直接代表房产产权;资产登记、抵押和投资者追索对象必须可核对。[1]

基金份额上链不会消除投资公司法及投资顾问法要求。第三方发行的托管型凭证可能只赋予间接证券权益;合成型凭证可能代表第三方债务、挂钩证券或security-based swap,而不是底层公司股票。应区分直接持有、托管权益和价格敞口,披露中介破产及底层资产不足的风险。[1] [21]

  • 艺术品、黄金或其他现实资产的代币不因RWA标签自动成为证券;须检查具体权利和销售安排。
  • 禁止把只追踪价格的代币宣传成已取得底层股份、投票权或法定产权。

03 | Benefits of compliant offerings and matters not guaranteed

适当的发行结构可以明确投资者权利、规范认购及转让程序,并将持有人记录与部分结算流程数字化。Reg D可服务合格投资者私募;Reg A和Reg CF可在规定条件下接触更广投资者;Reg S可处理符合条件的境外交易。不同路径的价值是匹配融资对象,而不是取得所谓全球通行证。[7] [8] [12] [14] [15]

代币化不保证募资成功、银行开户、平台接纳或二级市场流动性。即使证券可以依法转售,也可能没有买方、做市商或支持该资产的交易场所。智能合约可能降低部分重复处理工作,但代码审计不能保证没有漏洞;区块链结算速度也不意味着可以绕过资金保护、证券交付及交易报告要求。[1] [4] [5]

  • 不得使用“SEC认证资产”“保证上市”“一年后自由全球交易”等误导性承诺。
  • 成本、效率及流动性收益须以项目实际流程说明,不套用未经证实的行业百分比。

04 | Issuer eligibility and company structure: foreign shareholders do not make an issuer foreign

Reg D及Reg S并非普遍要求发行人先设立美国公司,外国发行人也可能在满足条件后使用。Reg A只适用于在美国或加拿大设立、且主要营业地点位于美国或加拿大的公司;香港或其他境外公司不能仅凭外国私人发行人身份直接使用。美国子公司也不能只靠注册代理地址满足Reg A主要营业地点条件。[12] [13] [14]

Reg CF不适用于非美国公司、Exchange Act报告公司及某些投资公司;无明确业务计划、报告不合规或Bad Actor失格也可能排除资格。外国股东持有美国发行人并不自动使其失去所有发行豁免,但需检查实体本身的资格、控制链及实际经营。LLC或Corporation的选择应围绕权利、治理、财税和资产隔离,不因某州宣传而默认适合。[11] [12] [15]

  • Reg A不能普遍用于应依投资公司法注册的投资公司、BDC或规则排除的资产支持证券。
  • 设立SPV只是结构工具,不能自动解决证券、基金、税务或母公司责任问题。

05 | Reg D: distinction between 506(b) private placements and 506(c) general solicitation

Rule 506(b)允许无联邦金额上限的私募,但禁止一般性招揽及广告。合格投资者人数无该条规定的上限;在任何90个日历日内,非合格投资者不得超过35人,并须独立或与购买代表一起具有评估投资风险及价值的财务和商业经验。有非合格投资者参加时,还须提供规定的信息和财务披露,不应把普通公众简单计入35人额度后销售。[7]

Rule 506(c)允许一般性招揽,前提是所有实际购买者均为合格投资者,且发行人采取合理步骤验证。自然人常见标准包括不含主要住所的净资产超过100万美元,或过去两年每年个人收入超过20万美元、联合配偶或伴侣超过30万美元,并合理预计本年度相同。专业持证及机构资格有其他类别,不能只靠一个自勾选框概括验证。[8] [9]

两条路径通常都须在首次销售后15天内提交Form D。首次销售以第一位投资者不可撤回地作出合同投资承诺为判断点,不必等到铸币或所有资金到账。州级注册与qualification通常被联邦优先规则覆盖,但各州仍可要求通知及费用;地方截止日期应单独核实。Rule 504是另一个Reg D类别,12个月内最多1,000万美元,其州法及招揽条件不能套用Rule 506。[10] [30]

  • 506(b)不要求采用506(c)同样的合理步骤验证机制,但仍需有合理依据相信投资者满足资格。
  • 公开白皮书、社交媒体收益宣传及开放认购页面可能构成一般招揽,应在发布前确定路径。

06 | Reg S: offshore transactions do not mean checking only passports or IP addresses

Reg S提供境外要约和销售的安全港。基本条件包括交易确属offshore transaction、不在美国进行directed selling efforts,以及满足适用类别的额外限制。美国人士的规则定义与国籍不是同一概念;还须检查实际购买地点、受益账户、分销商及是否存在代持或预先安排回流美国。境外发售也要遵守目标市场当地的证券销售法律。[14]

分销合规期不是所有项目统一一年。按已核实的官方CFR条文,Category 1无额外分销合规期;Category 2通常40天;Category 3债务通常40天,股权则为非报告发行人一年、报告发行人六个月。不同类别还涉及认证、转售约定、限制性标记及拒绝登记违规转让等条件。该取证文本为GovInfo官方2025年版,2026当日最新修订及类别适用应在正式发行前再次核对。[14]

Reg D与Reg S可在合适结构下并行,Rule 152对符合Reg S的交易设有不合并安全港,但不允许把美国购买者转入境外通道规避资格。实际操作应分别维护认购文件、投资者状态及分销控制;“发行不合并”和“各条豁免均已满足”是两个问题。海外营销也不能回头破坏美国506(b)不公开招揽的安排。[12] [14]

  • Reg S没有该安全港本身设置的通用联邦融资金额上限,不代表目的地市场无上限或无需披露。
  • 期满不自动清除所有受限证券、关联人、合同和市场准入限制。

07 | Reg A: Tier 1 and Tier 2 amounts, review and investment limits

Reg A通常被称为Reg A+或mini IPO,但属于发行注册豁免,不等同IPO。Tier 1在12个月内最多2,000万美元;Tier 2最多7,500万美元,关联售股股东的销售和首次发行的二手销售另有子限额。发行人应通过Form 1-A披露业务、权利、风险、管理层和财务资料,并在SEC完成qualification后才销售;试水宣传须使用规定提示并满足提交要求。[12] [13]

Tier 2通常要求审计财务报表和持续报告。没有qualification时全国交易所挂牌例外的情况下,非合格自然人投资通常不得超过年收入与净资产较高者的10%;非自然人为年收入与净资产较高者的10%。Tier 1不设同样的投资限额,但通常须处理销售州注册或州豁免;Tier 2免州级发行注册及qualification,不免反欺诈执法和可能的通知费用。[12] [13]

Tier 1并非一律要求审阅或审计;若已为其他目的准备审计报表,须按规则提供。Tier 2必须符合审计要求。两层级都要准备Form 1-A规定的报表期间和附件,初创公司按实际存续期间处理。Form 1-A本身没有SEC申报费,不能把律师、会计或中介费用宣传为SEC官方收费。[12] [13]

  • Reg A证券一般不因该路径本身成为受限证券,但关联人、合同、公司法和交易场所条件仍须检查。
  • 募集到公众投资者不意味着已经成为交易所上市公司或自动具备流动性。

08 | Reg CF: US$500 × ten thousand crowdfunding, investor limits and financial reporting tiers

Reg CF在12个月内最多募集500万美元,相关受控制、共同控制及前身实体的CF销售须按规则合计。每次发行须通过一个SEC及FINRA注册的证券经纪商或funding portal在线平台进行。发行人提交Form C并向平台及投资者披露;不能在自己网站直接收取认购款,再把Form C当作事后补办的许可证。[15]

按已核实的SEC现行指引,非合格投资者的年收入或净资产任一低于124,000美元时,跨所有Reg CF发行的12个月限额为2,500美元与两者较高者的5%取大;两者均至少124,000美元时,为较高者的10%。同一期间总额仍不得超过124,000美元。合格投资者不受该非合格投资者公式限制;数字可能按通胀调整,提交前须确认最新档位。[15]

报表要求按前12个月CF融资规模及是否首次发行判断:不超过124,000美元一般为CEO认证财务报表及特定税表信息;超过124,000至618,000美元一般需独立会计师审阅。超过618,000美元的首次CF发行人在不超过1,235,000美元时可使用审阅报表;首次超过1,235,000美元,或非首次CF发行人在超过618,000美元时,通常需审计。已备有更高保障级别报表的,须按规则提供。[15]

  • 站外发行条款广告须遵守有限通知及导流到中介平台的要求,不是全面开放营销。
  • 重大修改通常需Form C/A及投资承诺重新确认;融资进度及最终结果按Form C-U规则处理。

09 | Shareholders, directors and beneficial owners: control chain and Bad Actor checks

应准备从发行主体到最终控制人的股权图,区分法律持有人、受益人、表决安排及实际决策权。Reg D Rule 506的Bad Actor核查不只针对董事,还包括发行人及相关实体、参与发行的特定高管、按总投票权计算20%及以上实益拥有人、推广人、有偿招揽者和基金发行人的经理等。该20%门槛不能直接套作银行客户尽调或所有金融牌照的统一门槛。[11]

尽调可包括身份证明、履历、监管记录、犯罪及诉讼问卷、关联交易和资金来源。不是任何处罚都会永久失去发行资格:须判断事件类别、回溯期、生效时间,以及是否适用历史事件披露、合理注意例外或个案豁免。融资进行中新增控制人、董事或推广人时,应更新核查,不能只在项目开始查一次。[11] [12] [15]

  • 代持、多层公司或投票协议不能替代真实控制关系披露。
  • 美国公司法治理文件须落实代币持有人的股权、成员权益或债权地位。

10 | Compliance personnel and examinations: assign by job function; no universal STO examination

单纯发行自身证券的公司,没有一项仅因STO而要求所有董事、CEO或合规负责人通过Series 7或Series 24的统一规定。项目仍应明确证券法律、财务披露、投资者资格、资金审核、名册维护和技术控制的负责人;外包可提供支持,但不能转移发行人对披露和豁免条件的责任。[4] [17]

如经营注册BD,代表、主管和财务营运人员须按岗位注册。SIE是相关代表资格的基础共同条件,Series 7用于一般证券业务,Series 82用于私募证券发行代表,Series 79用于投资银行业务;主管可能涉及Series 24,财务营运可能涉及Series 27或28,合规人员须匹配实际注册类别。考试通过本身不等于公司获准营业,相关任职、注册和州要求仍须完成。[17] [18]

  • CAMS等培训认证可证明部分专业训练,不是SEC或FINRA经营牌照。
  • 考试范围、共同条件、费用和继续教育应以FINRA及有关州最新规定为准。

11 | Capital and source of funds: financing caps are not minimum registered capital

发行人应把公司出资、募集规模、净资本和受托资金分开核算。四条发行路径没有统一的最低STO实缴金额,但需要足够资源完成法律、财务、运营和技术安排,并在文件中真实披露资金用途和持续经营风险。出资和认购资金应具有完整银行或链上来源证据;涉及借款、关联方、币种兑换时,应说明还款、计价及授权依据。

若自行注册BD,Rule 15c3-1要求持续满足适用净资本与比例限制。特定不收取、不持有客户资产且不经营排除业务的模式可适用5,000美元档;50,000美元档对应符合条文的全披露引介并接收但不持有客户证券等安排;清算承载客户账户通常至少为250,000美元与适用比例公式两者取高。ATS不是统一固定资本档位,会员协议及真实结算模式会影响要求。[4] [16]

FINRA新会员申请需提交股权图、业务模式、监管程序和资金来源证据,官方示例包括此前三个月银行账单。资本不能只是临时借入供审核拍照,也不能把受托认购款充作经纪商营运资本。应在财务计划中留出运营及风险缓冲,不把法定最低净资本当作完整开办预算。[31]

  • 银行、律师或中介可提出高于法定最低额的商业和风险条件。
  • Reg A及Reg CF金额按滚动12个月和相关合计规则计算,不按自然年度重置。

12 | Address and substantive operations: a registered agent cannot replace a genuine business location

注册代理地址用于法律送达,邮件地址用于联络,主要营业地点用于说明业务实际运行;三者不能在需要实质经营的申报中混用。Reg A的美国或加拿大主要营业地点资格应有真实管理及经营事实支持,而不是仅租一个邮箱。外国发行人使用Reg D或Reg S时,则应准确申报其真实境外主体及地点,不能虚构美国办公室。[12] [13]

拟经营BD或ATS时,应能说明管理人员、监管职能、记录保存、服务器及关键供应商所在地点,以及监管机构如何取得记录。Form ATS明确要求主要街道地址不能填邮政信箱。远程或外包模式不是当然禁止,但必须真实披露、具备可执行监督和业务连续性。银行开户另按客户尽调判断,注册代理或共享地址不保证银行认可实质经营。[6] [31]

  • 网站地址、发行文件、公司登记及银行资料出现差异时,应解释并及时更新。
  • 如人员及经营跨多州,还需评估当地公司登记、证券人员和其他业务要求。

13 | Document checklist: legal rights, financial disclosures and technical evidence must align

基础材料包括公司设立及存续文件、章程或LLC经营协议、股权与控制图、董事授权、业务计划、资产权属及重大合同、财务报表、资金用途和关联交易资料。发行文件应明确证券种类、定价、募集目标、费用、投资者权利、违约和退出安排,并使认购协议、名册及代币规则彼此一致。不能只提交白皮书或技术审计报告代替证券披露。[12] [15]

Reg D通常通过私募备忘录、认购协议及资格问卷组织披露,具体强制披露深度取决于路径及投资者;Reg A需Form 1-A和规定附件,Reg CF需Form C。Reg S应有境外分销、购买者状态及转售约束文件。实务上另准备钱包与投资者映射、管理员权限、钥匙恢复、资金结算、合约测试和异常事件处理证据,不把建议的安全控制写成SEC指定某一代币标准。[7] [8] [12] [14] [15]

  • 有偿分销及平台合作须保存中介资格、业务权限、收费及责任分配的核查记录。
  • 审计报表、估值和技术报告应区分签署人、覆盖范围、日期及限制,避免过度引用。

14 | Complete process: from business analysis through delivery and post-offering maintenance

第一步,梳理发行人、资产持有人、分销商、交易平台和托管人的角色,确认每个主体实际收取什么费用、接触何种资金、承担何种证券职能。先决定谁发行、谁出售及谁保管,再评估证券、投资公司、投资顾问、衍生品及支付法律。[1] [4] [21] [22]

第二步,确定证券权利和投资者所在地,选择注册或发行豁免,并核查实体地域及Bad Actor资格。把募集规模、公开宣传计划、普通投资者需求和转售安排写成一份发行条件说明,不仅按报价选择Form D、Form 1-A或Form C。[7] [8] [12] [14] [15]

第三步,完成必要的主体、资产、治理和资金安排。建立实际控制图,取得发行及重大合同授权,选定独立会计师和持适当资格的中介,并确认银行、托管和结算机构愿意接受该业务;不要在开户未落实前承诺交割日期。[11] [12] [31]

第四步,起草披露文件与认购合同,完成所需审阅或审计。将资产风险、管理费用、投资者利益冲突、技术风险及转售限制落实到可签署文本,保留资格验证和分销控制方案。[7] [12] [15]

第五步,办理EDGAR账户和授权。按EDGAR Next使用个人Login.gov、多因素认证及授权角色,不共享个人登录资料;新申请或失去访问权限的发行人按Form ID流程办理。申报权限不改变发行豁免或财务披露期限。[27]

第六步,按各路径完成销售前条件。Reg A经qualification才可销售,Reg CF通过注册中介并提交Form C,Reg D和Reg S不把等待一个统一SEC项目审批作为启动条件。同步核查州及境外目标市场要求,自建BD/ATS则另完成经营资格及通知,不混用程序。[4] [5] [12] [14] [15]

第七步,执行投资者身份、资格及适用制裁检查,按合同接收和保管认购资金,确认交割条件后交付证券或代币。检验名册与钱包对应、转售限制、管理员权限及退款程序,确保合同权益与交付一致。[1] [6] [8] [15]

第八步,提交应在首次销售后完成的Form D及相关州通知,维护发行进度和修订。建立持续报告、公司与税务维护、投资者沟通及系统安全日历,未来收购、增资、退出或停止业务均按相关程序处理。[10] [12] [15] [19]

  • 采用不同豁免的多轮发行,应在下一轮营销前重新分析Rule 152及当轮资格。
  • 每个步骤保留负责人、版本、批准记录和完成证据,不能以服务商口头表示代替法定条件。

15 | Processing times and costs: separate statutory deadlines from commercial estimates

没有官方统一的STO全流程获批时间。Reg D的15天是首次销售后Form D通知期限,不是15天获批承诺;Reg S并无通用Form D式的发行前SEC审批。Reg A涉及文件、审计及SEC问询,其审查时间依完整性和项目问题变化。FINRA会员、银行开户和平台上线各自审查,不能相加后宣称某个固定期限是监管保证。[10] [12] [14] [31]

Form D及其修订无SEC申报费,Form 1-A同样无SEC申报费。其他费用包括律师、会计审阅或审计、州通知、中介、技术开发、技术安全审核、投资者验证、名册、资金保管及年度维护;如自建BD/ATS,还增加会员、人员、净资本及运营成本。收费应按最新规则和服务合同逐项确认,不复用原稿未核实的统一SEC收费或所谓最低STO预算。[10] [13]

商业排期应标明是顾问或供应商估算,并写明资料齐备、审计范围、银行接纳、问询次数及平台集成等前提。未完成核查时,本专题不提供固定月份或金额报价。合同宜区分准备、申报、资格满足、销售和上线里程碑,避免把其中任何一步写成保证全部合规。

  • SEC系统接受申报,只说明文件提交状态,不等于确认发行豁免有效或项目获推荐。
  • 州收费、审计和供应商费用应在提交或签约前核实;续年费用也应纳入预算。

16 | BD and ATS: distribution and secondary-market activities require separate qualifications

替他人促成证券交易、持续招揽投资者或收取基于成交的报酬,可能触发broker-dealer注册。发行人销售自己的证券通常不是broker,但其员工或关联公司不能一概套用发行人豁免;Rule 3a4-1安全港包括不接受成交佣金等条件。合作已注册BD不免除发行人的披露责任,也不能覆盖发行人自己另行开展的经纪活动。[4]

如自行经营BD,应通过适当系统提交Form BD,办理FINRA新会员、州及相关人员注册,落实净资本、监管程序和客户资产安排;需分别确认SEC注册和会员资格状态,不宣传“FINRA通过后SEC自动即时批准”。FINRA新会员审核只有在申请实质完整后才开始,股权、资金和监管资料不充分可能导致拒收。[4] [31]

ATS通常利用交易所注册豁免经营,但需注册为BD并符合Regulation ATS。非NMS股票ATS使用Form ATS,初始通知至少在运营前20天提交;Form ATS不是申请,SEC不通过该表对平台作事前项目批准。交易NMS股票涉及Form ATS-N及不同要求,不能把其程序套用所有代币。既有BD增加ATS或数字证券业务还应分析FINRA重大业务变更。[5] [6] [19]

  • ATS名录列名不表示可以交易任何代币、提供任何托管安排或不受会员协议限制。
  • 是否可为零售投资者交易,应同时核对证券可转售条件及平台、人员的权限。

17 | Transfer agency, technology and custody: linking legal records with wallet control

Transfer Agent维护证券持有人记录并处理转让等事项,其注册触发取决于证券及过户职能,不是所有STO一律必须自行申请TA。满足某些Reg A Tier 2或Reg CF的Section 12(g)条件性待遇时,会要求使用注册TA。银行类型的TA可能由OCC、联储或FDIC作为适当监管机构;其他TA通常向SEC登记。[12] [15] [20]

发行文件应约定谁维护主证券持有人记录、链上转移何时产生法律转让,以及钱包遗失、冻结、分叉和错误转账如何处理。SEC工作人员2026年声明明确可以有不同链上及链下模式,因此不能笼统声称官方名册必须只在链下。建议的白名单、多签和应急暂停功能须与证券权利和授权相符,而非给予技术管理员无限更改投资者权益的权力。[1]

认购资金保管与数字证券托管是不同服务。应核对供应商是否有相应法律资格、客户资产保护、记录和破产处理安排;技术钱包软件不当然是持牌托管人。并非所有Reg D或Reg A发行法定一律使用escrow,但有条件承销、众筹、中介客户资金及合同约定等可能触发专门保护;BD的客户保护规则和净资本安排须分别分析。[4] [6] [16]

  • 技术审计应说明范围和未覆盖问题,不能替代证券律师意见或客户资产监管合规。
  • 不在公开链上存放完整身份证件或敏感财务证明;访问、保存及删除按适用隐私和记录要求安排。

18 | Disclosures, marketing and resale: restricted securities do not automatically unlock on a uniform basis

所有路径都受反欺诈要求约束,不能以豁免或投资者是合格人士为由省略重大风险。广告、社交媒体、路演和白皮书应与已签署发行文件一致,区分事实、预测及假设,并披露有偿推广和利益冲突。Reg A试水、Reg CF站外通知与506(c)一般招揽是不同机制,不能一套营销材料无条件通用。[7] [8] [12] [15]

Reg D购买者取得受限证券。Rule 144是一个转售安全港而非唯一途径:符合条件的Exchange Act报告发行人通常至少六个月,非报告发行人通常至少一年,起点一般为购买并完全支付;关联人、当前公开信息、数量、经纪方式及Form 144等条件另查。Reg A定期报告本身不当然使公司成为Rule 144所称的Exchange Act报告发行人。[13] [29]

Reg CF证券通常一年不可转售,但转给发行人、合格投资者、通过注册发行及某些家庭、继承或离婚安排存在例外。Reg S须按类别及转售规则处理。技术系统应执行律师确认后的限制及例外,不用一个统一一年倒计时取代法律判断;合法转售也不保证可在某个ATS或交易所出售。[14] [15] [29]

  • 解除链上限制或证券标记之前,应完成所需资格、法律意见和名册更新。
  • 把合同锁定期、Reg S分销期、CF转售期和Rule 144安全港分别记录。

19 | Acquisitions and change of control: an STO exemption cannot be bought and transferred

发行豁免属于特定发行交易,不是公司可自由转售的牌照。收购发行人或资产时,应重新检查代币权利、债务、资产权属、历史销售、州通知、报告记录、诉讼和钱包权限。新控制人可能改变Bad Actor核查对象、关联交易和披露;Reg A Tier 2的控制权变更还可能触发Form 1-U,不应以只转股、不转代币为由跳过披露。[11] [12]

若标的是FINRA会员BD,某人直接或间接持有或控制25%及以上股权等情形可能触发Rule 1017的Continuing Membership Application。普通控制权变更至少提前30天申报,但并非一律先取得最终批准才可交割;FINRA可施加临时限制。重大业务变更、仲裁欠款及其他风险条件另有要求,必须按交易类别设置批准、通知或其他交割条件。[19]

收购ATS还要核对其业务权限、Form ATS或ATS-N、会员协议、资本和客户资产安排。买入一个旧实体不使新资产或新业务自动获准;若申请最终被否决,可能需要撤回交易、重新申请或退出注册。法律、资本及技术迁移应同时规划,防止认购、持有人服务及合规记录中断。[5] [6] [19]

  • 不得把现有Form D记录或ATS列名当作可无条件继承的监管背书。
  • 控制变更文件应交代购买及再资本化资金来源、旧债和投资者保护责任。

20 | Ongoing reporting, annual reviews and exit: Build a maintenance calendar for each path

Reg D没有因使用Rule 506而统一产生Form 1-K年报,但持续发行须在最近一次Form D通知一周年前进行年度修订,重大错误或规定的信息变化亦需及时修订。公司登记、税务、投资者通知、州续报及合同义务独立存在。Reg S没有该安全港统一设定的美国年度发行报告,仍应维护境外销售与转售证据并履行适用当地义务。[10] [14]

Reg A Tier 1通常在完成或终止发行后30个日历日内提交Form 1-Z。Tier 2的Form 1-K在财年结束后120个日历日内,Form 1-SA在财年前六个月结束后90个日历日内,指定重大事项Form 1-U通常在四个工作日内。能否停止Tier 2报告须检查持有人、发行状态及已完成报告等条件,不能募资结束就停止。[12]

Reg CF发行人通常在财年结束后120天内向EDGAR提交Form C-AR并在自己网站公布。停止年报须满足规则条件并提交Form C-TR;例如已报至少一次年报且记录持有人少于300人,或符合其他规定情形。发行阶段可能需审计,不代表每年C-AR都强制审计或审阅。[15]

如机构本身为BD/ATS/TA,还应执行各自财务、监督、人员、记录及系统维护要求。12月31日仍为注册TA的机构,通常次年3月31日前提交Form TA-2。年度公司维护、监管财务审计、合规测试和发行人报告是不同工作,不应统称为每年续一张STO牌照。[4] [6] [20]

  • 应持续核查持有人数及Section 12(g)注册触发,使用条件性豁免时维护所需TA及报告条件。

21 | Fund and RIA boundaries: Assess by regulatory assets and exemptions, not fundraising amount alone

为报酬从事证券投资建议或管理基金的主体,可能属于投资顾问;发行自身证券不自动成为RIA,发行豁免也不替代顾问或投资公司法分析。应按regulatory assets under management,即RAUM,确定联邦与州监管,而不是使用公司注册资本、代币流通市值或一次募集额。[21]

按SEC2026年更新说明,RAUM不足2,500万美元通常按州要求注册;2,500万至1亿美元的中型顾问通常州监管,但主要营业州是否要求注册或实施检查等决定例外,纽约中型顾问是重要例外。达到1亿美元可SEC注册,达到1.1亿美元通常须SEC注册;已SEC注册者一般跌破9,000万美元才需要转回州,另有适用例外和调整程序。[21]

私募基金顾问可能适用ERA报告或其他豁免,例如只管理合格私募基金且满足美国境内私募基金资产少于1.5亿美元等条件,但不能把该额度作为所有资产管理人的免牌照门槛。州要求、私募基金定义及跨境计算方式仍要核查;RIA、ERA及发行人基金资格必须分别说明。[21]

  • RIA注册不是SEC对管理能力、投资策略或收益的认证。
  • 把基金份额代币化不会免除基金本身、管理人及分销人的独立监管要求。

22|CFTC/NFA classification: Commodity derivatives are not covered by a single blanket NFA licence

若代币或基金业务涉及期货、商品期权、零售场外外汇或swaps,应另行分析CFTC注册及NFA会员要求。FCM招揽或接受相关订单并接收支持交易的客户资金或资产;IB招揽或接受订单但不接收该类客户资产。两者资金接触边界和资本要求不同,不能把证券私募分销商直接归作期货IB。[22]

CPO经营募集多位投资者资金用于商品衍生品交易或投资其他商品池的集合安排;CTA为报酬提供相关交易建议。发行基金份额代币可能同时需要证券发行合规与CPO或CTA分析。是否有豁免或排除取决于真实业务、交易和投资者条件,不能只因名称是RWA、量化或基金就自动判定。[22]

RFED通常作为非合格合约参与者的场外外汇相关交易对手;SD涉及作为swap交易商、做市商或经常性交易对手的行为。证券型swap则另涉及SEC体系,不能套用CFTC类别。NFA还列有特定非美国公司及security futures通知注册模式,适用条件须逐一核实。[1] [22]

个人AP通常代表FCM、IB、CPO、CTA或RFED招揽订单、客户或资金及监督此类人员;FB为他人在合约市场交易,FT为自身账户交易。Principal是基于职务、控制或所有权的关键人背景身份,不是可单独购买的通用经营许可。相关业务应按类别准备机构及个人申请、背景和胜任能力材料,并履行持续要求,不因某人有考试证书即允许整家公司经营。[17] [22]

  • 仅持有现货代币或发行公司股权代币,不当然触发全部NFA注册类别。
  • 本节为STO相关边界说明,不声称列尽全部衍生品场所、机构及豁免。

23 | KYC, AML and MSB: Assess by entity and activity; MSB does not replace MTL

发行人收取自己证券的认购款,不应一概认定为MSB或要求所有发行人提交SAR。应分别分析发行人、中介、兑换商和资金传输人的活动,以及适用金融机构定义和排除条款。银行、BD、相关商品机构与MSB各有反洗钱规则;项目可出于证券资格、制裁、银行或风险要求收集客户资料,但须标明义务的真实来源。[4] [24]

FinCEN明确声明MSB名录不构成政府推荐、合法性认证或背书。联邦MSB注册不替代依法应取得的州money transmitter license,也不提供证券经纪、ATS或投资顾问权限。是否需要MTL及其他州数字资产业务许可,应按资金流、资产、客户所在地和州例外逐州确认,不能以一个登记号宣称覆盖全美所有金融业务。[23] [24]

人员和程序应覆盖身份与受益人核查、资格验证、适用制裁检查、资金来源、风险升级及受适用规则约束的交易监控和报告。FinCEN已以最终规则将投资顾问专门IA AML Rule生效日从2026年1月1日延后至2028年1月1日;截至本专题日期,不把该延期规则写成所有RIA已须执行的义务,但其他已适用金融机构和制裁要求不因此停止。[25]

  • SAR、CTR及记录保存的金额与期限须按具体受监管主体和事件核查,不使用全行业统一模板。
  • 外包验证、链上分析和客户资料服务不能免除法定责任,也不能把专业认证当作金融许可。

24 | Considerations and 2026 regulatory status: Separate formal interpretations from proposed rules

SEC2026年3月关于加密资产及相关交易的解释于3月23日生效;工作人员相关FAQ于11月2日更新。这些材料不支持简单沿用“所有代币都是证券”或“去中心化之后所有融资都不受证券法”的结论。股票、债券及其他证券的代币化仍须按实际法律权益处理,工作人员声明及FAQ也不能被宣传为针对某项目的免执法保证。[1] [2] [3]

SEC2026年8月提出Regulation Crypto Assets,拟针对某些涉及加密资产的投资合同设置专门发行豁免及条件性安全港。2026年11月4日所查官方案卷仍称proposal,本专题未核实最终采纳和生效,不把拟议四年500万美元或每12个月7,500万美元路径列为现行可办理类别,也不据此改变Reg D、Reg A或Reg CF条件。[26]

正式启动前,应复核最新规则、法院裁判及适用州要求,特别是投资者金额通胀调整、跨境分销、托管模式和平台业务权限。应重点排查历史公开招揽、未经资格验证的销售、链上权益与合同不符、未经授权改变名册以及隐瞒资产负债等问题,不能靠换一个代币名称或补提交表格清除历史违法风险。

  • 未经官方核实的未来政策、市场规模和供应商资质不作为办理依据。
  • 以披露和技术测试共同检查项目,不把白名单、律师意见或申报回执视为全业务免责文件。

Business classification and entry requirements by category

Reg D Rule 506(b) | Private placement without general solicitation

General solicitation is prohibited; accredited investors and a limited number of eligible non-accredited investors may purchase. This is an offering-registration safe harbour, not an operating licence.[7]

Capital requirements
There is no federal financing amount cap or uniform issuer minimum paid-in capital under this rule; check the actual budget and the capital requirements of other entities separately.
Personnel and qualifications
No more than 35 non-accredited investors in any 90 calendar days, with the required ability to evaluate; Bad Actor checks apply to directors, certain senior officers, beneficial owners of 20% voting power and others.
Ongoing maintenance
Form D within 15 days after the first sale; ongoing offerings require annual updates and amendments as prescribed. State notices, disclosures, and restricted-securities resales require separate ongoing maintenance.

Reg D Rule 506(c) | Private placement to accredited investors with general solicitation permitted

General solicitation is permitted, but all purchasers must be accredited investors and the issuer must take reasonable steps to verify this; it does not provide permission for public retail sales. [8] [9]

Capital requirements
There is no federal financing amount cap or uniform issuer minimum paid-in capital under this rule.
Personnel and qualifications
Verify purchaser eligibility as a natural person or institution, and check the issuer and covered personnel. Ordinary offering personnel do not automatically qualify as securities brokers by using this pathway.
Ongoing maintenance
Form D, applicable state notices, qualification and sales records, ongoing offering amendments, anti-fraud disclosures, and resale restrictions.

Reg S | Eligible offshore offerings

The transaction must occur offshore, involve no targeted sales in the United States and meet the category conditions; securities laws in the destination must be checked separately. A US person is not equivalent to a person's passport nationality. [14]

Capital requirements
There is no general federal financing cap under the safe harbour; local limits, capital and funding arrangements are assessed case by case.
Personnel and qualifications
Check purchasers’ actual locations, US-person status, beneficial accounts and distributors; do not reach a conclusion based solely on IP addresses or passports.
Ongoing maintenance
Offshore sales and resale certificates, category certification, restrictive legends and distribution compliance periods; Category 1 has no additional period, while others may be subject to 40 days, six months or one year. Official source materials are from the 2025 compilation; verify the latest rules before submission.

Reg A Tier 1 | Small public offering

Eligible issuers formed in the United States or Canada and with their principal place of business in the United States or Canada conduct public offerings through Form 1-A and qualification; state registration or an exemption for sales must be handled separately.[12] [13]

Capital requirements
A maximum of US$2,000 × ten thousand within 12 months; affiliated selling shareholders and initial secondary sales are subject to sublimits; the fundraising cap is not capital.
Personnel and qualifications
There is no investment limit equivalent to Tier 2, but covered personnel and investors still need to be checked. Financial and US securities law professional support will be arranged on a project basis.
Ongoing maintenance
Form 1-Z within 30 calendar days after completion or termination of the offering; offering document updates, state obligations and company maintenance continue. There is no uniform requirement for an annual 1-K report.

Reg A Tier 2 | Larger public offering

Sales under Form 1-A after qualification require audited financial statements and ongoing reporting; state registration of the offering is subject to federal pre-emption, but state anti-fraud enforcement is not pre-empted. [12] [13]

Capital requirements
A maximum of US$7,500 × ten thousand within 12 months; check sublimits for affiliate sales and secondary sales separately. There is no uniform minimum paid-in capital for STO.
Personnel and qualifications
Eligibility applies to US or Canadian entities and principal places of business; non-accredited investors are generally subject to a 10% limit based on the higher amount, with an exception for securities listed on a national exchange at the time of qualification.
Ongoing maintenance
1-K within 120 days after fiscal year-end, 1-SA within 90 days after the first six months, and 1-U within four business days of specified events; check TA and 12(g) conditions, cessation of reporting and 1-Z separately.

Reg CF | Securities crowdfunding through a registered platform

Eligible US issuers may crowdfund through an SEC/FINRA-registered BD or funding portal platform and disclose on Form C; this is not an exemption allowing them to collect funds through their own website. [15]

Capital requirements
A maximum of US$500 × ten thousand within 12 months, with related entities' CF sales aggregated under the rules; financial-statement certification, review or audit is tiered according to the amount and whether it is an initial offering.
Personnel and qualifications
Non-accredited investors are subject to an investment limit across all CF offerings over 12 months; accredited investors are not subject to this formula. Directors, executive officers and significant shareholders are subject to disclosure and disqualification checks.
Ongoing maintenance
File offering amendments C/A, progress reports and the final C-U; C-AR is due within 120 days after fiscal year-end and must be publicly available on the website; annual reporting may be discontinued through C-TR only if the conditions are met. The one-year resale restriction has exceptions under the rules.

BD | Securities distribution and brokerage authority

Facilitating securities transactions for others and receiving transaction-based compensation, among other activities, requires assessment of broker-dealer registration; Form BD, FINRA membership, state and personnel procedures are separate from issuer exemptions. [4] [31]

Capital requirements
Calculate under the actual business activities and Rule 15c3-1. Tiers such as US$5,000, US$50,000, or US$250,000 have strictly different conditions, and higher ratios or agreement restrictions may apply.
Personnel and qualifications
Representatives, supervisors, and finance, operations and compliance functions register and take examinations according to their roles; controllers' backgrounds, regulatory proceedings and sources of capital are subject to review.
Ongoing maintenance
Ongoing net capital, customer asset protection, financial and supervisory records, continuing education and qualification renewals; acquisitions and material business changes are subject to Rule 1017.

ATS | Secondary-market trading system

Operating under an applicable exchange registration exemption generally requires being a BD and complying with Regulation ATS; Form ATS is a notice, not SEC approval of a trading platform.[5] [6]

Capital requirements
Varies with the BD business and settlement and customer-asset model; it is not invariably a fixed US$250,000.
Personnel and qualifications
Assign registered personnel according to broker-dealer and trading supervision functions, and clearly define responsibilities for systems, access, settlement, records, and contingency response.
Ongoing maintenance
File the initial Form ATS at least 20 days in advance; provide advance notice of material changes, quarterly information corrections, and cessation reports as required by the rules. Check the separate ATS-N process for NMS stocks.

TA | Securities Holder Registration and Transfers

Maintain securities records and transfers. Whether registration is required depends on the securities and functions; do not assume that all STO technical register services constitute a registered TA. [20]

Capital requirements
Do not apply BD net capital tiers as TA requirements; actual organisational, financial, asset-protection and appropriate regulator requirements must be confirmed case by case.
Personnel and qualifications
Accurate accounting, transfers, control and compliance capabilities are required. The ARA may be the SEC, OCC, Federal Reserve or FDIC, depending on the type of institution.
Ongoing maintenance
Maintain filings, registers, records and internal controls; a TA registered as of 12-31 generally files Form TA-2 by 3-31 of the following year. Handle TA-W and handover arrangements when ceasing business.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a single US financial licence for STO that can be applied for or acquired?

There is no general STO licence. Separately determine securities offering registration or an exemption, as well as any BD, ATS, investment adviser, custody, derivatives or payment qualifications required for the actual business. An offering exemption is a legal basis for a particular transaction, not an operating licence that can be bought or automatically transferred. [4] [5] [30]

Does filing Form D mean the SEC has approved the offering?

No. Form D is a notice of an exempt offering and is generally filed within 15 days after the first investor makes an irrevocable contractual commitment to invest. There is no SEC filing fee. The issuer must itself satisfy the substantive conditions of the exemption on which it relies and handle applicable state notices; acceptance of the filing by the system does not mean the offering has been certified. [10]

Under 506(b), can you advertise publicly and then allow only 35 non-accredited investors to purchase?

That is not an accurate generalisation. 506(b) prohibits general solicitation, and in any 90 calendar days no more than 35 non-accredited investors may participate; those investors must have the knowledge and experience to evaluate the risks and receive the prescribed disclosures. The limit of 35 is not permission for public retail sales. [7]

Under 506(c), is it enough merely to have investors check a box saying they are accredited investors?

Generally, reasonable verification steps cannot be replaced solely by self-checking a box without other supporting grounds. Assess income, net worth, licence or institutional evidence according to the qualification category and circumstances; reasonably use a confirmation method compliant with the rules and keep records. Under Rule 506(c), all actual purchasers must be accredited investors. [8] [9]

Can a Hong Kong company conduct a Reg A offering directly? Is a US registered address sufficient?

Reg A is available only to companies organised in the United States or Canada and with their principal place of business in the United States or Canada. A Hong Kong direct issuer cannot use it solely on the basis of being a foreign private issuer; a US company also cannot substitute a registered agent or mailing address for the actual principal-place-of-business requirements. Reg D and Reg S have different geographic rules.[12] [13]

Are the Reg A and Reg CF fundraising limits based on a calendar year or 12 months?

The applicable rules use a 12-month measurement period; the limits do not all reset on month 1, day 1 each year. Reg A Tier 1 and Tier 2 have respective maximums of 2,000 × ten thousand and 7,500 × ten thousand US dollars, with sub-limits for affiliate share sales and other matters; Reg CF has a maximum of 500 × ten thousand US dollars, and relevant CF sales by controlled entities, entities under common control and predecessor entities must be aggregated under the rules.[12] [15]

How are the limits calculated for non-accredited investors under Reg CF?

Under the verified SEC guidance, when either income or net worth is below US$124,000, the limit is the greater of US$2,500 or 5% of the greater of the two; when both are at least US$124,000, it is 10% of the greater amount. The aggregate across all CF offerings in a 12-month period may not exceed US$124,000. Recheck the latest inflation adjustments before filing. [15]

Can Reg S issuance proceed simply on the basis of a foreign passport and an overseas IP address?

No. Confirm that transactions take place offshore, that sales are not directed into the United States, and that certification and resale conditions for the applicable category are met. The definition of a US person is not the same as nationality. Also check beneficiary accounts, nominee holdings, the actual place of purchase and repatriation arrangements, and comply with the laws of the sales destination. An IP address is only one piece of evidence. [14]

Are all Reg D and Reg S security tokens automatically freely tradable after one year?

No. Under Rule 144, the holding period is generally at least six months for eligible Exchange Act reporting issuers and at least one year for non-reporting issuers, with additional conditions concerning affiliates and other matters. Reg S has separate categories and distribution compliance periods. Expiry of the period does not remove contractual, legend, state-law or platform restrictions, nor does it guarantee that a trading market exists.[14] [29]

Does working with a registered BD mean the issuer no longer bears compliance responsibility?

The issuer must still meet its disclosure and exemption obligations and determine whether it separately engages in broker or investment adviser activities. A partner's registration does not cover all of the issuer's own business; contracts should allocate responsibilities for sales, verification, collections, refunds, records and regulatory reporting.[4] [8]

Can a self-built ATS definitely commence operations 20 days after filing Form ATS?

This cannot be guaranteed. 20 days is the initial advance-notice requirement for Form ATS; the operator must also have appropriate BD registration, membership and business permissions, personnel, capital, supervision and settlement arrangements. Form ATS is a notice, not SEC project approval; NMS stock ATSs have a separate ATS-N process.[5] [6] [19]

Must directors and compliance officers pass Series 7 and Series 24?

Issuing only one’s own securities does not entail uniform examination requirements solely because of an STO. For an operating registered BD, assign qualifications according to representative, supervisory, financial operations and compliance functions, such as SIE and Series 7, 79 or 82 and applicable supervisory examinations. Passing an examination does not replace firm qualifications or individual registration. [17] [18]

Must all STO issuers register as an MSB? Can an MSB replace an MTL?

Not every issuer is an MSB; this must be determined based on actual money services, the flow of funds and applicable exclusions. MSB registration is not government endorsement, does not replace a state MTL that is legally required, and does not confer authority to act as a securities broker, ATS or adviser; subscriptions for an issuer's own securities alone cannot simply be treated as money transmission business. [23] [24]

When does an RIA switch from state registration to SEC registration?

The determination is generally based on RAUM: SEC registration is available at US$1 × one hundred million and is usually required at US$1.1 × one hundred million; existing SEC registrants generally return to state registration only when they fall below US$9,000 × ten thousand. Mid-sized advisers, examination requirements in the state of the principal place of business, New York and other exemptions or registration exceptions must be checked separately; the total amount raised through an STO alone is not sufficient.[21]

Can a company with a Form D filing record be acquired and then issue new tokens directly?

No. New sales cannot rely solely on old records. New sales must independently meet registration or exemption requirements, and controllers, Bad Actor status, assets and disclosures must all be reviewed. If the acquisition is of a BD, FINRA Rule 1017 may also require a CMA and impose closing restrictions; ordinary changes of control and material business changes follow different procedures. [11] [19]

Is annual maintenance still required after the offering ends?

Requirements depend on the route and type of entity. Reg A Tier 2 requires 1-K, 1-SA and 1-U for specified events; CF generally requires C-AR within 120 days after the fiscal year; ongoing Reg D offerings require an annual amendment to Form D. Separate company, tax, records and intermediary regulatory obligations also apply. Termination reporting is also subject to conditions and requires submission of the relevant documents. [10] [12] [15]

Can the Regulation Crypto Assets proposed in 2026 already replace these four issuance pathways?

The official file checked for this topic as of 2026-11-4 still marks it as a proposal; final adoption and effectiveness have not been verified. Proposed thresholds or safe harbours must not be advertised as currently available licences; effective interpretations and staff FAQs are also not guarantees of exemptions for individual projects.
