The price of altcoin and bitcoin drop. Should we be panic? What do you think of the situation. Will ICOs stop because of the ban by China, Russia and Korea? Will others follow those countries? What is the future of ICO?

I would only panic about investing in scam icos.

Other there are 2 scenarios for me:

1. Atm we have 4 countries regulating icos that is by far not "ALL" world. Other countries will slowly follow and icos will be regulated everywhere. The regulations will force issuers of icos to register a company, be transparent, pay taxes and give guaranties to investors and be fully legal responsible.

2. Not all countries will follow, anonymous coins will rise and icos will be held in countries with no regulations. Everything will work as before...

Same thoughts. There's no need to panic as there are still other countries who can hold ICO's and everything will be back to normal soon. I am sure the developers of these coins will find a way to brings things back as the way before.

#1 is certainly the eventual outcome.

The SEC lead this with their warnings about The DAO. They coordinated with multiple countries to announce on the same day.

It is not a coincidence.

The main difficulty I think is getting the EU to enforce, because afaik their securities law does not (consistently for all nations in the EU) address investment securities outside of stocks listed on exchanges.

So maybe this was designed to embarrass/pressure the EU.

There is more going on than meets the eye.
