In my opinion, the ban on holding an ICO in China, and then in South Korea, did not affect the number of campaigns currently conducted. In addition, I believe that this prohibition is temporary and will be resumed as soon as measures are taken to reduce the risk in their conduct.

People will always find a way to invest in these things. There are already projects in which not only investors, but also developers are anonymous.
I think this is the next step, governments never see the consequences of their actions they only see a market without regulation and then they think they are needed when that is not the case, now that they are trying to regulate the market, there are going to be icos and investors that are going to deliberately avoid those regulations and by doing so they are going to expose themselves to even greater risks than they would have done otherwise.

Regulation is good and needed to protect investors from scams, that's what is driving it, but the ICO marketing is in its early stages, and blockchain projects will permeate through every nuance of every industry, especially after all of the ICOs that raised money on a concept have their developed and fully adopted platforms. With time regulators might evolve securities laws to for special coin circumstances based on if it's good for society, in progressive countries.

As long as they don't get suspended on Russia haha  Grin. On a more serious note tho, it may actually have the opposite effect (Streisand Effect) and result in ICOs being more profitable

Maybe for the ones that do go through with it, but I think as more regulations pop up there will be less and less ico's being launched.
But this ICOs will be well-thinking, legitimate and clear for all. And wild west of ICOs ended. With all + and - .
this can help we avoid scam ICO and trash ICO. why many people think this news is bad. :/

Except REGULATION does not stop scams - they just make them legal.  Regulators are not going to judge if it is a bad or good ICO, they will just require fees and taxes.  The government does not require your business will work, only that you pay the incorporation fee, the listing fee and the taxes.

It was just the beginning!

Rulers (or governments) are trying to keep disruptive technologies under control and basically just try to utilise it for their own interests by exploiting the weaker as much as they can until the basis for realising their plans is set.

So when the infrastructure for high finance of cryptos is set, I believe they'll open up the ecosystem for the mainstream.



I think its okay if they stop those ICO's but its good that it will be regulated, screened and studied before it will be open to public. Or, it is better to fund some startup in kick starter projects as we will see the development and how the projects goes on. There are already many kickstarter startup that succeed, where its good to invest.

It can be good, but regulation is a double edged sword.  We first decided to do an ICO because it was cost effective and the idea was new projects could get crowdfunded easily as people would invest in the "idea".  Of course many would not work out but the point of the crowdfunding would be many investors contributing very small amounts, "taking a shot".  Regulation is just another word for taxes and costs.  I can show you hundreds of companies that run "reverse merger" scams on listed stock exchanges.  The SEC is fully aware, but as long as you pay the fees and taxes you can keep changing your symbol and keep taking money.  There is no investor protection whatsoever.  it is a tax game.  Now the ICO market is no different than equities.  Where is the benefit?

I don't think it's the end of ICO's I think its only the beginning. There's so much more in Digital World and I believe its the demand that will determine the success/failure not China or US.
yes it is not. its not the end of ico even south korea ban and china ban of ico doest mean an end of an ico. as you can see on the market. all of the coin value is raise up and become stable once again. its because japan is support investing on ico. you can read the article here

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/29/bitcoin-exchanges-officially-recognized-by-japan.html

so there is still hope for ico and there is always a way out.

No surprise this is happening the ICO's were getting out of hand becoming harder and harder to pick the legit projects.
The strongest ICOs will still find a way to succeed, with or without government regulation.

It's not the end of ICO's, it's just an end of ICO's that will make you quick x10.

The competition is getting better and better, and it's going to be hard to attract investors to your particular ICO.

Maybe this will be good for old coins, and coins already in the big market, this is good for old crypto users, especially now too much ICO, maybe this is the right step, we will invest in an existing project since a long time ago

I think it's not the end of the ICO in the present day. It maybe China ban the ICOs in their country, It doesn't means that all of the countries will do what China does. Because there are other countries still open to the ICO's. There are still ICO's sensible, though most are not legit.

We are just at the beginning of ICOs and tokenization.

Millions of assets could be tokenized in the future.

Tokenization is an optimal allocation of resources, instantly tradable.

Just read a news on yahoo that South Korea has also banned ICOs. Hope this is temporary move and they will put strict regulations so that scams are not able to raise money through ICO. Only then investors will be protected.

I think regulating ICO’s is a good way to avoid scam. And it will not be the end of ICO’s as long as there are investors, ICO’s don’t need Chinese investors anyway.
