Can US Citizens Participate in ICOs???
This is a general question which can not be answered by a simple YES or NO because every project has a legal frame work it chooses to follow...and it also depends on where they choose to establish their physical presence(offices) or the target market the want but most ICO's these days avoid the USA market because of legal uncertainty.

Unfortunately many ICO's won't allow participation from US citizens. I was very disappointed to be unable to participate in the Indahash ICO which started today because I'm a US citizen.
But I know few persons they are participating in these ICO's without any problem because they are not disclosing place and using Ether for this without any problem if you want then why are you sad go ahead and use ether and buy your favorite coins and enjoy

Yes, if they aren't security tokens. It's only security tokens that are against SEC rules.

Can US Citizens Participate in ICOs???

American citizens cannot participate in ICO projects. It is prohibited there as only accredited investors can deal with private operations with securities. Recently American authorities have forbidden advertisement of ICO performed by celebrities.

The USA still consider participating in any ICO an illegal business.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the United States of America is strictly prohibiting ICO in their country, no matter which state you are from. Therefore, the citizens of the US cannot also participate in any ICO even if the ICO is based on other countries. But there are a few selected ICOs that seem to be oblivious about the SEC's ruling regarding ICO. However, most of the time, projects toe the line so that they will not be entangled with legal cases.

But how does this issue exactly work? You make an ICO and you forbit to US citizen to partecipate, fine. But how do you avoid that they actually take part to the airdrop anyway? Even if you'd ban all US based IPs, they still could use a proxy, or not?

It should be enough to warn the user, like when you enter in a 18+ website, no one can really check your age.

It seems like a lot of ICOs forbid US investors to protect themselves. Secretly, they're probably happy to have them participate.

It's easy to get mixed up in SEC violations in the US, so it's safer to exclude US investors.

Yes and no. Probably because of the restrictions of crypto currencies in the US. That is why a lot of ICOs do not let US citizens to participate in their ICOs. Unfair it is, but that's just how things work. Nothing we can do about that.
But there are also a lot that accepts US citizens but there really aren't a lot that I have seen. But anyways, i wish this changes soon because a lot of US citizens are really into crypto currencies. This would really be great for the crypto world.

it depends in which ICO you wanna participate

Your post makes sense Wink Every ico has their own rules regarding which jurisdications can or can not participate on token sale. Some projects accept everyone without any additional rules but i am not sure how they gonna to control legal issues.

Hmm. There was a rhetorical thought. What if the organizers of ICO are engaged in illegal activities with money from a legitimate ICO. This will not be considered as sponsoring criminals? Huh
