Even though ICO's have lost the appeal lately.
I was just wandering about the legalities. The SEC website confuses me. In the eyes of the SEC are true utility tokens still classed as securities in the USA? Is this why many companies avoid the USA when it comes to ICO's?
If a company from outside the USA releases a token, do they have to comply with SEC regulations to enable usa investors?
I am not from the usa but live here now. Is it a resident or a citizen issue?
Usually such ICOs will not allow citizens of the United States and some other countries to participate in their ICOs. So they don't need to be afraid of SEC rules, since there are plenty of ICO scams in this market and stealing a lot of investor money and they don't need to be scared of anything. The current ICO is not a good investment choice, IEO is a much better option
