Securities Act relief refers to exemptions or modifications to the requirements of securities laws, typically granted by regulatory authorities, that permit certain offerings or transactions to proceed without full registration. In the digital asset space, this relief can enable projects to issue tokens or other digital assets under specific conditions, reducing the compliance burden. The objective is to facilitate capital formation while maintaining appropriate investor protections. This relief is often conditional.
