Are ICO's as we know them coming to an end?  U.S., now China... Will all ICO's be regulated now? (would regulation be good?)

Maybe this will be good for old coins, and coins already in the big market, this is good for old crypto users, especially now too much ICO, maybe this is the right step, we will invest in an existing project since a long time ago

No surprise this is happening the ICO's were getting out of hand becoming harder and harder to pick the legit projects. Sucks that it has to be done like this if only people were not greed driven scam artist this may not have been an issue.

I don't think this series of events signals the end of ICOs. Regulation is inevitable. The strongest ICOs will still find a way to succeed, with or without government regulation.

these ICO will seem to be continued even without chinese investors. or, the chinese investors will find a way to avoid the government regulation and will still follow any ICO freely.
i think that the government will be struggling finding the ico investors from china since they fully use cryptocoin for the funding and they have no control over the blockchain

Not surprised. This is a channel to take money from China offshore - which is probably how many Chinese ICO investors see it. Buy here for RMB, sell there for USD. Bingo! Apparently, the stream grows fast enough for Chinese Government to take preventive action.

I agree, it will not be the end of Initial Coin Offerings, the strong projects with substance will always find the way. I also would like to point out that SEC is targeting Token used as a security not currency.

This won't be happening. Countries can take regulations, but this will never help them regulate the ICO structure barely. This will only a fear factor for ICO conducters that's all.

They can create companies in Singapour, Cayman Islands etc. They keep it anyway.

You are right, they can control some organization but not all since that regulation is only applicable to some countries, but since majority of ico are born here the bitcointalk can regulate it and to some extend weed out scam ico's

However, to do this one has to first expatriate money from China, US etc to Signapore, Cayman etc.

No, this will not stop the ICO boom. If you check ICO raised funds statistic, you will see 800%+ increasing of volume in less than 6 moths.

Now we are seeing ICO picks and governments are just trying to get their cut.

There's a lot of very bad quality projects nowadays. Way too much. I think only best project must survive. Maybe these regulations will help somehow (projects will need good lawyers?).

The regularization of ICOS would be a great help to users, as it would be a great filter and the percentage of being a fraud would be much lower.

I too consider ICOs needed to be regulated one way or other. With the growth in the number of ICOs, we started seeing a lot of ponzis.
Ponzi is a risky investment and it's the government who has to take steps to secure it's citizens.

I do not think it will be the end of ICO's, tho they are in serious need of being regulated ... or at the very least scare away ones that are only in it to make a quick buck. I still think there are a lot of very good upcoming ICOs that have proven themselves to be legit.

End of ICO isnt really an appropriate word to be used.It maybe regulated but not all countries do really have the same decision regarding on this field on which its really still possible to join or invest on ICO. They might do such act but it cant really stop completely. Scam Ico's cant really be avoided and this is really a responsibility for a certain investor to look at and to be awared of.
