It is ironic. People from the states have to wait for these tokens to be listed, and they buy it at a higher USD value. I think its going to take some time for cryptocurrency and its use in US and some other countries to be regulated.
I believe the major goal of the government authorities of USA is to prevent their citizens from investing in scam projects which were ones rampant in the cryptocurrency industry. In a situation where the authorities perceive a scam free environment for cryptocurrency, these protective measures may be reviewed or rescind.
