SEC Launches Cryptocurrency Probe – WSJ

By Securities Docket on February 28, 2018, 6:27 pm

The sweeping probe significantly ratchets up the regulatory pressure on the multi-billion-dollar U.S. market for raising funds in cryptocurrencies. It follows a series of warning shots from the top U.S. securities regulator suggesting that many token sales, or initial coin offerings, may be violating securities laws.
