How Does a “Private Placement” Differ from a Public STO?

A private placement is an offering of securities that is exempt from registration with regulators and is sold only to a select group of accredited or institutional investors. A public STO is open to the general public and requires full registration and compliance with securities laws, which is a more complex and costly process.

Private placements are faster and less regulated, but have a smaller investor pool.
