Blockchain institutional capital marketplace Maple Finance has secured an exemption from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to offer its one-month U.S. Treasury yields to accredited investors in the United States.
Before the Aug. 9 announcement, the Maple Finance Treasury pools were only available to accredited investors outside the United States. Through the SEC Regulation D Rule 506(c) Exemption, a firm may offer investment products, without prior registration, to individual investors in the U.S. with a net worth exceeding $1 million, excluding the value of their primary residence, or with an annual income exceeding $200,000 per year ($300,000 if their spouse is included). A firm may also sell such investment products to accredited U.S. entities, such as banks.
