Form SPV, define terms, deploy compliant contracts, KYC, list, and report regularly.
Set up an SPV, finalize offering terms and disclosures, deploy compliant smart contracts, complete issuer KYC, and list with a reputable venue or transfer agent. Maintain periodic reporting and audits. Seek legal counsel in your jurisdiction.
