The USA and Switzerland became the first countries to initiate the legitimization of tokens. It is up to them that today we know the difference between security and utility tokens.

Experts from consulting company <a href="https://platinum.fund/sto/" target="_blank">Platinum</a> have examined the American legislation and share their insights on SEC regulation, common pitfalls and secret paths.

Crypto and regulation come as a package deal these days — whether we’re talking about the development of crypto space and ICOs, regulation is always something that has to be considered before moving forward. Starting from 2017, when China took the plunge and banned crypto exchanges and ICOs, to nowadays when countries are trying to figure out the best policies to protect investors and not to harm innovations at the same time. For investors and founders, the most important thing is the current regulation landscape and how many ICOs actually satisfy the authorities’ requirements?

The new model, initial token offering (ITO), was designed to cope with the challenges of the time.

Cryptoasset valuation is a fairly new and iterating practice. Investors often have strong and varying opinions on how to value projects in the emerging asset class. The assets are constantly under experimentation and development, making a fixed model methodology challenging. Traditional market indicators such as market capitalization and supply are often flawed or manipulated. The fundamental side provides even less clarity as debates ensue over scaling, decentralization, PoW and PoS, governance structures, privacy, and security.

These days, as always, the mainstream news is full of Bitcoin is a bubble opinion pieces, argued from the outside looking in. The rationale usually comes down to Bitcoin having no intrinsic value (<a href="https://blog.chain.com/a-letter-to-jamie-dimon-de89d417cb80" target="_blank">it does</a>, fiat doesn’t) or a contrived interpretation of whatever Bitcoin’s price has done lately.

Every year around this time, I visit Mexico City, the city I grew up in before moving to Canada in 2010. I usually take cabs or Uber to get around the city, and talk to the drivers. I find this is a good way to hear about the city from their perspective, and how it has been evolving. The conversation usually turns into a discussion of our respective professions.
