noch ein bisschen etwas zur Aufmunterung:
The leaked SEC statement ahead of today's meeting is quite encouraging. It's the softest possible principled response to the ICO craze. There *are* countless scams, and we see the SEC recognize the potential that the technology offers.

facilitate capital formation, providing promising investment opportunities for institutional and
Main Street investors alike. From a financial regulatory perspective, these developments may
enable us to better monitor transactions, holdings and obligations (including credit exposures)
and other activities and characteristics of our markets, thereby facilitating our regulatory mission,
including, importantly, investor protection.
At the same time, regardless of the promise of this technology, those who invest their
hard-earned money in opportunities that fall within the scope of the federal securities laws
deserve the full protections afforded under those laws. This ever-present need comes into focus
when enthusiasm for obtaining a profitable piece of a new technology “before it’s too late” is
strong and broad. Fraudsters and other bad actors prey on this enthusiasm.
Was letztlich dabei raus kommt, wird man sehen...

Conclusion
Through the years, technological innovations have improved our markets, including
through increased competition, lower barriers to entry and decreased costs for market
participants. Distributed ledger and other emerging technologies have the potential to further
influence and improve the capital markets and the financial services industry. Businesses,
especially smaller businesses without efficient access to traditional capital markets, can be aided
by financial technology in raising capital to establish and finance their operations, thereby
allowing them to be more competitive both domestically and globally. And these technological
innovations can provide investors with new opportunities to offer support and capital to novel
concepts and ideas.
History, both in the United States and abroad, has proven time and again that these
opportunities flourish best when pursued in harmony with our federal securities laws. These
laws reflect our tripartite mission to protect investors, maintain fair, orderly and efficient markets
and facilitate capital formation. Being faithful to each part of our mission not in isolation, but
collectively, has served us well. Said simply, we should embrace the pursuit of technological
advancement, as well as new and innovative techniques for capital raising, but not at the expense
of the principles undermining our well-founded and proven approach to protecting investors and
markets.
Thank you for the opportunity to testify before you today and for your support of the
Commission and its workforce. I stand ready to work with Congress on these issues and look
forward to answering your questions.
