SEC will say "all tokens are securities" but that's baked in by now. If you're afraid of the SEC, find work elsewhere. Then, two questions: (1) what does the token do and (2) how is it distributed? You want strong arguments on both before dropping the token so you can feel confident you'll win in court if SEC attacks.

Bad on both: selling tokens to retail on the promise of using funds to build a product that makes token price go up. Good on 1) means token holders don't expect profit based on the creator's future efforts, or don't share profits equally. Good on 2) means not selling tokens to the public. (but really, hire a lawyer)
