How Does the Classification Impact Secondary Market Trading of the Token?

If a token is classified as a security, its secondary market trading is subject to strict transfer restrictions unless it is registered or sold under an exemption. Tokens sold under Regulation D, for example, are typically "restricted securities" and cannot be resold for a specific period.

This limits liquidity and access for non-accredited investors.
