Companies do have, however, several options for possible exemptions from the regulatory requirements that apply to registered public offerings.

This chart outlines potential exemptions to the regulatory requirements for ICOs and the criteria for qualifying for these exemptions; it further lays out potential advantages and restrictions for each option.
