hold some coin you think good and sell all now. If China people dont like anything. the price will fall down Winner will be the country that makes icos legal and regulated.
All countries are being forced to enforce securities regulation same as was the case for FATCA. All this information is covered in detail at the following blog:
Are Most Cryptocurrencies Doomed to Collapse — because they’re “ICO-issued”?
I think banning of ICO means ban to start an ICO, not ban to invest in ICO.
Incorrect. Read the linked blog to learn about investment securities and more details. Follows is a summary.
There will be a banning of trading on the exchanges for the tokens which were issued by ICO (or any obfuscation of an ICO which is equivalent).
Tokens will be frozen on exchanges. Money will be recovered from issuers and some will be jailed. Some who promoted and/or traded large quantities of ICO-issued tokens will be fined and possibly jailed.
Use of ICO-issued tokens will be illegal because it is illegal to trade investment securities on an unregulated exchange.
I think Singapore could be the one.
Incorrect. Singapore is planning to crackdown also.
the news that comes from China is always what becomes the biggest!
ICOs have been illegal in many other places so far and now China just joined them. although because Chinese are big investors in crypto markets we can say that it will have a big effect on ICOs and how they can get more funds eventually.
i also expect a lot of dumps in ETH because ICOs were the only reason it went up and now that it is over the ETH bubble can finally burst and there won't be much to keep it up now.

Also some icos have fined a way to be legal in usa e.g. cridit protocol (atm before pre-ico)

this is one of the best news i have love reading all true the day. ICO is 100percent illegal to me and this has been given me hitch. companies raising money thruogh ICO, for Chris sake if you want to develop or run a company you should at least have raised some setting amount money (percentage) required to run the company before calling on investor. and This ICO projects, is now one of the easiest tools scammers is now using to scam investors off their hard earn money.
To the best, cryptocurrency needs to be regulated to save investor from scammers.

I would say that the effect of the ban will not too much, except for the orient ETH {NEO} and QTUM.
Many ICOs were not allow U.S. citizens to participate, and no one bats an eye.

I think banning of ICO means ban to start an ICO, not ban to invest in ICO. So, basically, Chinese still can invest to ICO, be remember that the main feature of cryptocurrency is anonymity. How do we know the investor who pay in Ethereum is U.S citizen?
This rules makes hard for chinese to buy any coin with fiat.
I think the governments want to control money market, and they have fear loosing it by the way coins spread.
I watched box mining's video today on youtube and he said this was already law in China. Tokens cannot be used as currency. Meaning you cannot purchase goods with them. Doesn't mean you can't buy them.

We'll likely see many countries going the way of Russia, meaning only 'accredited' investors can participate in ICO's. Governments don't want the average person to invest in these because then they get the same opportunities as those that are stuffing their pockets with 'campaign funds.' This stuff irritates me so much! We finally get something that governments can't get their hands on and they're still fighting tooth and nail to get their piece.

Big investors are in China no wonder if China can affect the market. Many of the bitcoin enthusiasts are talking about China has Declares ICO is Illegal. Not long altcoin market are mostly down. Hopefully other countries do not make decisions like that.
I also hope so because I like to invest in ICO projects because it gives me more profit than long-term investment, if China bans ICO, it will affect a lot of upcoming projects and this is very difficult to accept in large countries like China

Time to drain the ICO swamp in China?
So they are just going to employ family members now

China's Central Bank Declares ICO Illegal
“He” predicted this 2 days before it happened. And he is predicting that it will eventually destroy all ICOs, not just ones in China:
Are Most Cryptocurrencies Doomed to Collapse — because they’re “ICO-issued”?
Maybe this is for the best - since we are using trustless blockchains and systems, it would be nice to have an ecosystem with trustless launches and development aswell - maybe we'll see another way of presenting or funding ion the future

That's really bad. Every altcoin dump include bitcoin. I don't know why they did it. Can anyone tell me is this rules create bad effect for bounty programs and new campaign?
Everyone knew this is going to happen.. Short term, this is bad news because people will trade on their emotions - namely fear today - but long term this is good news for blockchain technology. A ban on frothy/bubbly ICO's that are abusing investors with nothing more than a flashy website, a colored paper, and (maybe?) a few lines of code - thank goodness for cutting some of the fat off the steak.
I agree with you. I hope this will bring a less new ICO's therefore, higher quality should also be expected in the future.
Since the Central Bank of China declared all ICO to be illegal, this would mean a reduction in the release of new coins into the digital market. And as a consequence of this, part of the flow of money will be invested in old proven coins, including bitcoin and ethereum. I see no reason for panic. Perhaps all for the better.
