What do you think why Viber, WhatsApp, skype, WeChat, Snapchat, IMO, Line have not yet launched their crypto platform?

For the most obvious reason - regulatory uncertainty. And besides, there is a one size fits all for companies to grow, whether financially or in user counts. But I think it's a bad idea for them to go adopt an ICO, look at the level of scrutiny telegram is going through right now. This may in fact make the others completely wary of the crypto or digital asset space for now.
