Conference Call September 27th, 2-3pm EST
You can listen/watch a recording of the call below:
In the rapidly evolving ICO ecosystem, one of the few things that most people agree on is that more regulation is coming.
While “uncertainty dominates” in China, the regulators are cracking down on crypto. Regulators in Singapore stated that businesses that issue tokens there will be regulated by the Monetary Authority if the tokens constitute products regulated under the Securities Act. The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority told investors to be “conscious of the risks” of ICOs, and, of course, the SEC issued an Investor Bulletin on July 25th stating “Depending on the facts and circumstances of each individual ICO, the virtual coins or tokens that are offered or sold may be securities.”
The regulatory environment is, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a timely topic of discussion.
Given the importance of this topic, we’ve put together four key thought leaders on cryptocurrency and designing ICOs to comply with SEC regulations. Each of the speakers will be coming at the topic from a different perspective, including an operator about to launch an SEC compliant ICO, a lawyer who’s worked on many leading ICOs, the General Counsel of an investment bank focused exclusively on the crypto capital markets, and an active crypto fund manager.
The hour long call will leave 20 minutes at the end of for questions.
