The USA government, by its bans on the participation of its citizens in the ICO, thus fights against fraudsters. Perhaps this is too strict a rule, but perhaps it is right.

In US, investment regulations are very strict. Only accredited investors can participate in private placements. Because of this regulatory constraints participations are not entertained from US.

Many European ICOs recently that I saw, they all state in their ToS that the US citizens can't participate. Why?


ICOs and any kind of investements that would like to operate in the US or to attract US citizens are required to submit documents and requirements for their permit per regulations by the US SEC or they will face prosecution by the US Government. I just wonder why ICOs could not comply about the requirements to think there are lot of potential US investors but maybe asking for permit to operate in the US in not that easy so they choose to ignore the US citizens.

Yes I also heard the news some companies not allowed their citizens to participate in ico. This is because of they protect their people from scam.
Yeah they are prohibiting their citizens to participate some ICO’s because of non regulated ICO’s, which I think unfair because US is democratic country which means there's a free enterprise among their citizens,  then if their reasons behind is because of deregulation issue, then they should provide, and besides it is the own risk of the investors to invest.

I've heard that some US citizens still participate in ICOs by borrowing their relatives or friends' documents to use it for KYC. Some agreed for a payment and some don't. There are many ways to bypass the bans if you just explore the internet.

Of course, there are many ICO companies not allowing the US citizen to participate in the ICO, we don't know whether they are using other people document in order to participate in the ICO. There are very huge chances in the coming days US government will allow to participate in the ICO's.

Such an attitude towards ISO refers to the responsibility of the United States towards its citizens. The country protects its investors.

It's ICO, not ISO.
The USA are know to be strict with everything regarding investments, securities, and even casino/gambling. So many big ponzy are from the US. 12DailyPro, TrafficMoonson, StormPay...
The next generation is STO and I am pretty sure in the long run the US government will not deny the use and won't be so strict in regard of it.



Of course US is very protective to their citizens but most of all the government don't want to lost control on some investment of their citizens because of taxes that  may be lost if most if their citizens invest ICO’s, specially that ICO’s are anonymous.

I agree mate, US ico project developers allowed the project only to non US residents due to government's concerns. That's why to prove the legitimacy of a certain participants they're required to submit a know your customer strategies which was know in short as KYC. With this ways it could possibly prevent any possibility for US residents with the ICO ran by US developers. The funds will he regulated when other countries residents will participate rather than it's own residents.

In the USA, ICO projects are considered too risky for their citizens and they are protected by such prohibitions from incurring possible material losses. However, it should be noted that in this country the restriction concerns investing in ICO projects and there is nothing about participants in the ICO generosity campaign that are not investors. Therefore, the requirement of the ICO team to pass a KYC test to bounty hunters is illegal.

sometimes some countries do not accept tokens from bitcoin or other digital currencies because tokens are temporary and there will be no profit for different countries than bitcoin

It's not so, you misunderstood everything.
indeed, in a bounty program, it is sometimes explained that some countries are not allowed to join either the bounty program or the ICO, but statements like this are not the US government which prohibits its citizens from joining cryptocurrency investment, even if it is only strictly regulated in the rules. this investment as explained by the friend above

Obviously, Because the United States is not friendly to ICO cryptocurrency, especially for regulatory reasons. To put this in perspective, the United States is quite strict when it comes to investment regulations. Only accredited investors can take part in the placement of personal securities.

A lot of ICOs take the necessary steps to “deny” US citizens from investing. If they do not take these steps, all sales of their tokens will be subject to criminal charges in the US. That is, assuming the SEC would decide to investigate certain Crowdsale for these specific reasons.

Many of the ICOs which I participated were shunning away USA residents and anybody holding USA-issued passports. Maybe because they would not want to get entangled with possible legal battle with SEC or any government agency. It can be a big hassle if one day USA SEC would declare that ICOs are not legal. Right now, the SEC has not yet issued any solid pronouncement regulating ICO but we don't what can be in the coming months.

The boom in the ICO market right now is really attracting big and small participants and there is now a trend for niche business to also join the ICO bandwagon. But while this can indeed scam issuers, regulating ICOs can do more harm than good. What we need is a way to do due diligence so we can guide ICO buyers away from possible scams.
because these types of currencies need international rules. This is because the national or regional rules made by each country are not strong enough to be implemented.
