Here is an except of an article published on coinness. It narrates the French government approval of draft to regulate ICOs
"France Finalizes New ICO Framework to 'Attract Innovators Globally']France's Minister for the Economy and Finance has announced on Twitter that the government has accepted an article of the Business Growth and Transformation bill (PACTE) dedicated to Initial Coin Offerings (ICO).
Bruno Le Maire stated that the French stock markets regulator Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) is now empowered to give licenses to companies that want to raise funds via an ICO, with the legislation aiming to help protect contributors' interests."
Is this a good bye to scam ICOs from France?
I sincerely think that this is a bit of good news for the cryptocurrency industry and investors at large. Investors need all the protection they can get from these bodies. I now hope it will be sustained and not abused by powers that be
