When it comes to token launches, the regulatory pathway matters a lot. One critical aspect is whether builders can issue tokens without running into SEC enforcement actions for securities violations. The regulatory framework addresses this directly, but here's the catch—while the direction is clear, actually implementing it isn't straightforward or cheap. The rules exist, yet the execution remains complex and resource-intensive for most projects.

actually, this is the classic regulatory arbitrage problem we see across protocols. let me break it down—builders face this tradeoff where compliance costs don't scale linearly with project size, ceteris paribus. so smaller teams get priced out even if they follow the rulebook. think of it like traditional securities law, but now you're fighting smart contract immutability AND sec guidance...

In plain terms, compliance costs are the real threshold for value investing. Small projects simply can't afford to play this game.

In simple terms, there are rules on paper, but in practice, it costs a lot of money and brainpower... Small projects are directly discouraged.
