Wow! This is really awesome news. Personally I believe that regulating cryptos, ICOs, and cryptoexchanges have a good advantage. At least, it's better than banning or restricting people's freedom of using blockchain technology which is impossible coz' we all know that no one can fight the future and technological evolution.

There is a nice article on this topic, I have just found it so I will share, it gives the approach to ICO taken by different countries. It seems there are more countries that want to regulate it to prevent scam. I can only repeat, it is good, I think.

Indeed, Switzerland is a friendly country to ICO.
It is not overly regulated, and most of the ICO projects in Switzerland are excellent. There will not be a lot of fraudulent ICO projects. I am generally optimistic about the ICO projects in Switzerland.

Today the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA release an ICO guidelines.
That's a positive Signal, because that`s means Swiss ICO will be 100% legal and regulated - no legal risk that the Swiss Government could banning ICO in generel.
I think that what is more important than the risk the government might ban it one day, is the risk that the particular ICO you buy is a scam and you will never see your money nor any return from it again. And that particular move of Swiss authority is perfectly adequate to solve the problem of ICOs being scam.That's a positive Signal, because that`s means Swiss ICO will be 100% legal and regulated - no legal risk that the Swiss Government could banning ICO in generel.
So I am happy to hear that and I can only hope the other coutries follow that example.
But I don't think that the lack of regulations will result in outright ban. Rather, it will result in many people being scammed for their life savings.

That is a very good Statementfrom the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA):
"FINMA recognises the innovative potential of blockchain technology and therefore supports the federal government's Blockchain/ICO Working Group in which it is participating. Clarity about the underlying civil law framework will be a decisive factor in establishing this technology sustainably and successfully in Switzerland."
