So I know I'm kind of late on this, but I was wondering the other day- based on what the S.E.C ruled on bitcoin and ethereum, does that allow for an ICO to launch on U.S soil? If you use KYC\AML forms, file as a security and work towards zero use of 3rd party companies, can you operate on US soil? Or would handling ICO outside of US still be best option? As far as US residents go, shouldn't participating in ICO's be easier? At the end of the day, IP addresses were being blocked due to the uncertainty from the S.E.C - not the S.E.C banning ICO's.
Any and all help will be highly appreciated. Not expecting legal advise but anyone's input\thoughts on this is welcomed.
Thanks and enjoy your day!
Whatever you do but to runs an ico outside US will be a better choice rather than taking the big risk to run your ico inside of US. You can see that the coinbase has been getting an approval from SEC to listing security token. That gives you a huge chance to take an opportunity on the US market. Play safe is much better.
