Curating Blockchain Securities

44 minute read

The term “security” is a fungible, negotiable financial instrument that holds some type of monetary value. It represents an ownership position in a publicly-traded corporation—via stock—a creditor relationship with a governmental body or a corporation—represented by owning that entity’s bond—or rights to ownership as represented by an option. - Investopedia

  • Regulation Crowdfunding: A Small Entity Compliance Guide for Issuers

    Individual investors are limited in the amounts they are allowed to invest in all Regulation Crowdfunding offerings over the course of a 12-month period: - If either of an investor’s annual income or net worth is less than $107,000, then the investor’s investment limit is the greater of: - $2,200 or - 5 percent of the lesser of the investor’s annual income or net worth. - If both annual income and net worth are equal to or more than $107,000, then the investor’s limit is 10 percent of the lesser of their annual income or net worth. - During the 12-month period, the aggregate amount of securities sold to an investor through all Regulation Crowdfunding offerings may not exceed $107,000, regardless of the investor’s annual income or net worth. Spouses are allowed to calculate their net worth and annual income jointly. This chart illustrates a few examples of the investment limits:

  • Introducing the Token DPA, a blockchain focused Securities Instrument

    As a securities attorney first and foremost, I most appreciate that a company can offer the Token DPA or a SAFT to accredited investors and the Token DPA to unaccredited and international investors allowing them to include everyone in their financing / pre-sale. By expanding the pool of participants, this potentially lessens the likelihood that tokens derived from these instruments are considered securities, due to the widely available pre-order effect allowing anyone and everyone to participate provides.

    itle III added new Section 4(a)(6) to the Securities Act of 1933,7 which provides an exemption from the registration requirements of Securities Act Section 58 for certain crowdfunding transactions. Regulation Crowdfunding, which prescribes the rules governing the offer and sale of securities under Section 4(a)(6), pe r mits an issuer to raise a maximum aggregate amount of $1.07 million in a 12-month period,9 limits the amount individua ls may invest in offerings under the exemption,10 requires issuers to disclose certain information about their business and the offering,11 and creates a regulatory framework for the intermediaries that facilitate the crowdfunding transactions.1

    According to this market participant, marketing costs tend to vary by issuer, totaling up to 20% of the target offering amount. For example, a high-quality videographer usually costs about $2,000-$5,000 dollars. This is not surprising, given that another industry study has documented the importance of having a high-quality video for the success of a crowdfunding campaign.65 Also according to this market participant, bank and transaction fees also may vary depending on the type of back-end infrastructure developed by the intermediary and the type of securities offered (e.g., equity vs. debt). Some fees, such as transfer agent fees, could be on an annual basis, while others could be on a per-investor basis. One intermediary responding to the look-back survey also estimated that issuers spent approximately three to four weeks to prepare their Form C. Additionally, this intermediary stated that most issuers use cash accounting and spent thousands of dollars both to prepare financial statements that instead comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and then to have those financial statements reviewed or audited by an independent auditor.

Reg D

Keep in mind that you must raise funding from “accredited investors” for the Form D exemption to apply as noted in Rule 506 of Regulation D . These are investors who usually earn over $200,000 a year or are worth at least $1 million. You can also offer securities to companies worth at least $5 million. By either registering with the SEC or filing Form D, a business has taken the time to show they’re not providing an illegal public offering.

    Form D is a filing with the SEC that allows companies under Regulation D or Section 4(6) exemption to offer stock to finance businesses without doing an IPO.

  • The Definitive Guide to Regulation D - WealthForge

    While Regulation D offerings are exempt from registration with the SEC, both the SEC and the various states require filings providing notice that an offering is occurring. The SEC requires an issuer to file notice on Form D within 15 days of the date of first sale of a Reg D security on the SEC’s Edgar System. Form D contains basic information about the offering and the issuer, including industry, whether a broker-dealer is involved, and the amount being raised. In addition, for each state into which the security is sold, the issuer must file a notice filing within 15 days of the first sale in that state. The majority of states use an online database to allow electronic filing. Additionally, with this notice filing, the states require the issuer to pay a filing fee, usually between $100-$500.

  • Rule 506 of Regulation D - Investor.gov

    Rule 506 of Regulation D provides two distinct exemptions from registration for companies when they offer and sell securities. Companies relying on the Rule 506 exemptions can raise an unlimited amount of money. Under Rule 506(b), a “safe harbor” under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, a company can be assured it is within the Section 4(a)(2) exemption by satisfying certain requirements, including the following: The company cannot use general solicitation or advertising to market the securities. The company may sell its securities to an unlimited number of “accredited investors” and up to 35 other purchasers. All non-accredited investors, either alone or with a purchaser representative, must be sophisticated—that is, they must have sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to make them capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment. Companies must decide what information to give to accredited investors, so long as it does not violate the antifraud prohibitions of the federal securities laws. This means that any information a company provides to investors must be free from false or misleading statements. Similarly, a company should not exclude any information if the omission makes what is provided to investors false or misleading. Companies must give non-accredited investors disclosure documents that are generally the same as those used in Regulation A or registered offerings, including financial statements, which in some cases may need to be certified or audited by an accountant. If a company provides information to accredited investors, it must make this information available to non-accredited investors as well. The company must be available to answer questions by prospective purchasers.

Reg A

Blockstack, founded in 2013, spent ten months and $2.8 million on its Reg A+ offering. Reg A+ was adopted as part of the 2012 Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), and has fewer disclosure requirements than a full-blown registration statement on Form S-1.

    Buyers of Tokens will not have any equity ownership in Blockstack, but rather will be able to use the Tokens as currency or fuel in Blockstack’s network, a blockchain-based software platform on which developers can build “decentralized applications.” The Blockstack network has been functional since 2015 and has over 100,000 registered users and 171 live applications. The company funded the development of the Blockstack network with $5 million in venture capital financing and $47 million raised from a 2017 token offering that used Regulation D as an exemption under the U.S. securities laws.

We have reviewed all 203 dense pages of Blockstack’s Offering Circular (which is estimated to cost $1.8M in legal and accounting fees to produce) and take this opportunity to discuss the unique characteristics of the the offering which any token project will need to address in the future. While we can see that this will be the first step in standardizing token offerings under Regulation A+, we also see that there are a number of legal, business and operational issues that any token sponsor will need to address in what will inevitably be a “not as easy as advertised” process with the SEC.

  • Amendments to Regulation A: A Small Entity Compliance Guide - Eligible Issuers and Securities

    Regulation A is available only to companies organized in and with their principal place of business in the United States or Canada. Regulation A is not available to: - companies registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and BDCs; - development stage companies that have no specific business plan or purpose or have indicated that their business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies (often referred to as, “blank check companies”); - issuers of fractional undivided interests in oil or gas rights, or similar interests in other mineral rights; - issuers that are required to, but that have not, filed with the Commission the ongoing reports required by the rules under Regulation A during the two years immediately preceding the filing of a new offering statement (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports); - issuers that are or have been subject to an order by the Commission denying, suspending, or revoking the registration of a class of securities pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act that was entered within five years before the filing of the offering statement; and - issuers subject to “bad actor” disqualification under Rule 262. The final rules limit the types of securities eligible for sale under Regulation A to the specifically enumerated list in Section 3(b)(3) of the Securities Act, which includes warrants and convertible equity and debt securities, among other equity and debt securities. The final rules exclude asset-backed securities from the list of eligible securities.

  • A Guide to Launching a Security Token Offering

    In the future, a majority of stocks, bonds, commodities and other financial assets will be tokenized. These are the step by step ways to start on that path.

    The first and most important step in beginning an STO is finding the right securities lawyer. With the infancy of security tokens and their intersection with crypto assets, an experienced lawyer is invaluable. Seeing as the majority of security offerings target US investors, a veteran lawyer can be the crucial difference between a successful raise and a subpoena from the SEC — ultimately killing your business dead in its tracks. Your lawyer will be responsible for regulatory filings (Reg D, Reg A+, Reg S or CF), collateral compliance and the proper disclosure of offering terms including but not limited to participation rights and warrants. Generally speaking, the filings and retainer will be the most expensive upfront costs for a security token offering.

  • From Initial Coin Offerings to Security Tokens: A U.S. Federal Securities Law Analysis

    Cryptocurrencies and initial coin offerings (ICO) are all the rage in startup financing. Until mid-2017, these ICOs existed in a wild west environment, a regulatory limbo, with some companies raising hundreds of millions of dollars in days and others crashing and burning in the same amount of time. Like Wyatt Earp in Dodge City, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared its jurisdiction over these ICOs, laying down the law in the “DAO Report” with the legal equivalent of a double barrel shotgun. The SEC was right to do so. There is no doubt that the overwhelming majority of ICOs involve the sale of securities and companies who ignore this conclusion do so at their own risk. Yet the law of ICOs and digital token financing is by no means final or clear, and with little official guidance to go on, startups are left to fend for themselves in a sea of self-declared experts. Few scholarly articles to date have addressed the regulatory status of these ICOs from a securities law perspective. This article provides a legal framework and method for analysis in the aggressive, case-by-case approach laid down by the SEC in the DAO Report, and recommends best practices for companies considering an ICO to follow

  • https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18881376

    For the statutory law, I have found after many years of experience that it’s very worth it to take 8-16 hours and read the actual statutes. Such as the Securities and Exchange Act, Reg S and the recent JOBS Act changes should be required reading for startup CEOs raising money. Sure, you won’t get all the case law nor the later additions, but you’ll understand what the overall framework is. Then you can discuss specifics with a lawyer. Also if you’re a startup, some lawyers may take an advisor equity in exchange for 4 hours a month or so.

    What led me to this conclusion is that after years and years of asking random questions while lawyers set everything up, I kept discovering new things about the exchange act until I just read it.

    There are standard docs these days on docracy and other sites for most things. The JOBS Act has simplified fundraising quite a bit for startups. Especially if you use rule 506b for friends and family, you can later choose to go the VC route OR use rule 506c or Reg CF for access to liquidity using public solicitation.

    EXPERIMENTAL SECTION:

    A final note about security tokens. An obscure but very useful fact is that non-equity securities do not have a limit on how many investors you can have, before you must become a publicly reporting company. And selling to NON US investors they may be able to trade your securities after 40 days. However, their local jurisdiction may have other ideas, and this is one of those areas where you can either try to abide by all local laws in theory, or in practice take advantage of the fact that, in early stages, governments of foreign jurisdictions aren’t going to waste too much political capital on long-arm actions to go after US corporations because they failed to prevent an overseas investor from selling their securities early.

The emergence of electronic cash and decentralized exchange software challengesthese expectations. Transactions need not leave any public record and exchanges can beaccomplished peer to peer without using a regulated third party in between. Faced withdiminished visibility into cryptocurrency transactions, policymakers may propose newapproaches to financial surveillance.

Furthermore, any law or regulation attempting to ban, requirelicensing for, or compel the altered publication (​e.g.​ backdoors) of cryptocurrency softwarewould be unconstitutional under First Amendment protections for speech.

    Peer-to-Peer: Services like LocalBitcoins or OTC trading, are still MSBs if the buyer or seller is advertising the services and/or making a profit from either crypto-to-crypto or fiat-to-crypto exchanges. CVC Wallets: A new four-factor test is created to determine if a wallet provider needs to register as an MSB: (a) who owns the value; (b) where the value is stored; (c) whether the owner interacts directly with the payment system where the CVC runs; and (d) whether the person acting as the intermediary has total independent control over the value.

    …

    Trading Platforms and DEXs: “Under FinCEN regulations, a person is exempt from money transmitter status if the person only provides the delivery, communication, or network access services used by a money transmitter to support the money transmission services.” So if you only provide a forum where buyers and sellers of CVC post their bids and offers (with or without auto-matching of counterparties), and the parties match through an outside venue (individual wallet or other wallet not hosted by the trading platform), the trading platform does not qualify as a money transmitter under FinCEN. If, when the match takes place, a trading platform purchases from the seller and sells to the buyer, it’s a CVC exchanger and thus falls under the definition of money transmitter.
