Frequently Asked Questions
Toku enables compliant token sales through structured, pre-approved trading plans. These plans are modeled after SEC Rule 10b5-1 frameworks and remove any discretionary decision-making. Once implemented while the holder is not in possession of material non-public information (MNPI), trades execute automatically on a preset schedule - ensuring full regulatory compliance and reducing the risk of insider trading violations.
Structured trading plans provide a regulatory shield and market stability.
- Reduce insider trading risk
- Prevent ad hoc token sales that could disrupt liquidity
- Align with SEC/CFTC best practices
- Strengthen exchange listing readiness
Exchanges are increasingly requiring structured plans from insiders. Having one in place builds institutional credibility and helps future-proof your compliance posture.
Not directly. SEC Rule 10b5-1 plans apply to publicly traded equities - but insider trading laws still apply to token holders.
Toku’s structured plans follow similar principles:
- Non-discretionary execution
- Pre-approval while not in possession of MNPI
- Integration with OTC desks to minimize price impact
We recommend consulting legal counsel to ensure alignment with your jurisdiction's regulatory requirements.
Toku integrates with leading OTC trading desks, enabling token holders to access liquidity through pre-approved trading plans. While Toku does not execute trades, it ensures that all activity follows the structured plan and aligns with your internal policies and compliance requirements.
Please contact team@toku.com for the latest list of supported OTC desks and partners.
Whether you're a founder, core team member, or legal advisor, Toku can help set up structured trading plans for compliant token sales. Contact team@toku.com to learn more.
