Offering Documents
The legal filings associated with a CRT offering, including Form C, offering memorandum, and subscription agreement provided to Investors.
Understanding Offering Documents
Offering documents are the collection of legal and disclosure filings associated with a Channel Revenue Token (CRT) offering on GigaStar Market. These documents provide Investors with the information necessary to make informed investment decisions and are a critical part of the due diligence process.
The primary offering document is the Form C, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF). The Form C includes a detailed description of the offering terms, the Creator's historical YouTube revenue, the revenue percentage to be shared with CRT holders, the revenue-share term, risk factors, financial statements, and the intended use of funds.
In addition to the Form C, offering documents typically include the subscription agreement, which is the legal contract between the Investor and the issuing entity. This agreement outlines the terms and conditions of the investment, the Investor's representations and warranties, and the rights and obligations of both parties.
An offering memorandum or similar disclosure document may also be provided, offering additional context about the Creator, their channel, and the structure of the CRT. This document often includes supplementary information beyond what is required in the Form C.
Investors should read all offering documents carefully before investing. These documents contain important information about the speculative nature of CRT investments, the possibility of total loss, and the specific risks associated with each individual offering. The documents are available on the GigaStar Market platform and through the SEC's EDGAR system.
If material changes occur during the offering period, amended filings (Form C/A) will be made available, and Investors who have already committed may be given the opportunity to reconfirm or withdraw their investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are CRTs cryptocurrency?
No. CRTs are traditional securities registered with the SEC under Regulation Crowdfunding. They represent contractual rights to a share of a Creator's YouTube revenue, not a digital currency or blockchain token. Unlike cryptocurrency, CRTs have regulatory oversight from the SEC and FINRA, required disclosure documents (Form C), and Investor protections built into the offering structure.
What happens if a Creator stops making videos?
If a Creator significantly reduces or stops content production, their YouTube revenue would likely decline, which directly reduces or eliminates your distributions. This is one of the key risk factors of CRT investing—your distributions depend on ongoing Creator activity and YouTube revenue generation. While existing videos may continue to earn some revenue, new content is typically the primary driver of channel performance.
What makes CRTs an alternative investment?
CRTs do not correlate directly with stock or bond markets. They represent a new asset class tied to Creator YouTube revenue in the Creator Economy. Like all alternative investments, CRTs are speculative, less liquid than traditional securities, and should represent only a portion of a diversified investment approach. Their performance is driven by individual Creator channel activity rather than broader market conditions.
