Not All ICO's Are Created Equal It can feel like there's a new huge ICO, or initial coin offering, announced every day. These ICOs can be highly praised but are often presented without an actual product to show. This can make the whole endeavor feel like a scam. In a recent report by the Wall Street Journal, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is attempting to crack down on all these ICOs by sending cryptocurrency companies dozens of subpoenas and information requests. The SEC has already started enforcing regulations by freezing assets, halting ICOs, and suspended the trading of three companies that claimed cryptocurrency or blockchain dealings. With so many potential landmines, the task of figuring out which of these exciting new companies are snake oil and which will succeed in the cryptocurrency market can be difficult.
