Braden Perry Discusses ICO Regulation and the SEC
Braden Perry, a former federal enforcement attorney who is now a regulatory and government investigations attorney with Kennyhertz Perry, discussed the complex issue of Initial Coin Offering (“ICO”) compliance and the SEC’s recent regulatory crackdown with Forbes.
“The regulatory treatment is still unclear for cryptocurrency, including at the ICO stage.” He continues, “It seems as if every federal regulatory agency has chimed in on cryptocurrency, but none have taken the lead. The CFPB, SEC, and CFTC have all taken some action, but the legal space is still very confusing. To be the first ‘SEC-compliant’ ICO would currently require the information and disclosures required by an IPO, and the undertaking involved is extraordinarily complex.”,” he said.
