More and more countries are planning to regulate ICOs. China, Canada, Russia,... I think this in an development nobody can stop. Do you think it is good or bad that ICOs will be more regulated in the near future? What positive and negative influences will it probably have?
I think there will be more investors like professional managed funds or even retirement funds which will invest into ICOs. The prices for ICOs will then become even more expensive and make it more difficult to make profits for small investors.
I believe that this will be extremely positive. The regulation will provide the necessary level of protection for the interests of investors. Many scammers disguise themselves as organizers of the ICO. So they can earn a huge amount of money on trustful investors with impunity. In addition, there are developers on the market who, due to lack of experience, simply cannot bring their own projects to life. It is for this reason that many governments want to regulate the scope of ICO, as in this case they can provide real protection for the interests of investors.
