The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has published an investment contract framework for digital assets, which is intended to give crypto companies more specific guidance as to whether a cryptocurrency is a security.
Many ICOs have attempted to evade the SEC’s scrutiny by self-labeling their products as utility tokens. So far, the SEC doesn't seem to be buying the distinction.
In addition, CapBridge is working with global blockchain technology firm ConsenSys. Both ventures have announced plans to build a fully compliant, private securities exchange on the public Ethereum blockchain.
