Target Investor Markets
In this step, you will identify the geographic markets and jurisdictions where you intend to offer your tokenized securities. Each country or region has its own regulatory framework that governs who can invest, how offerings must be structured, and what compliance obligations apply.
Selecting your target investor markets early enables us to map the correct legal exemptions, investor onboarding standards, and marketing limitations, ensuring your STO is both compliant and scalable.
