China Central Bank Continues War Against ICOs
The People’s Bank of China (PBoC) intends to prevent Chinese citizens from participating in ICOs, according to the bank’s financial stability report for 2018. Despite the ban and the constant warnings about participation in ICO campaigns, the number of ICOs and airdrops continue to grow. During 2018 more than 105,000 people from China participated in token sales, providing total funding amounting to about $377.3 million.
SEC to release ICO guide
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plans to issue a guide for ICO projects “in accessible English.” The document will spell out the rules according to which cryptocurrencies can be recognized as securities. When the guide comes out is still unknown, but it will clarify all the important issues for the organizers of token sales. In addition, the document will regulate transactions in the secondary market after the completion of ICO. The SEC will also provide advices to crypto startups on accounting, valuation, and storing tokens.
