all the countries already have some rules against ICOs and they must tighten these rules too. because these days the altcoin market (because of ethereum) is plagued with all these scam ICOs which are all acting illegally and it actually is pretty bad for altcoins in general because if things go on like this you can be sure that people will regard altcoins as scams and will only stick to bitcoin.

For sure, I wonder how should regulators help in this process. It's a balance between the financial market stability and encouraging innovation. It's also really difficult to prevent ether contributions to projects overseas. These are at best half measures.

There needs to be regulation but banning them all together is not the right solution. However they need to start from somewhere. ICOs in China were already starting to get out of hand with Binance launching like 5 every day. Bitcoin also needed to cool down a bit, so in my opinion this is all healthy in the long term. What you don't actually see is that there are many financial criminals involved in a lot of these ICOs, going in for a quick ROI.

That's true. Saw the news today that Tron is going to refund their backers from China. Wonder what the impact is for this. Will this also prompt other projects to do the same.

Now that ICOs are banned in China as a swift measure: https://qz.com/1069113/ethereum-eth-price-plunges-as-chinas-central-bank-declares-icos-illegal/

What do you think about markets like Korea. Saw that the regulators are also thinking of banning ICOs. How about Japan?
