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.
We have long been awaiting regulation of ICO activities. Such regulation has already been late for several years, so fraud in this kind of activity has reached a threatening scale. Considering that fraud in any state is a crime, states have long ago had to react to the growth of such crimes.
If the regulation of ICO activity is moderate, this will have a very positive effect on the popularity of ICO. If the rights of investors in this kind of activity are reliably protected, then the investment in ICO will increase again.
