As Merrill Lynch plans a path for Bitcoin's global legitimacy, the SEC has issued an investigative report today that concludes that the Digital Asset "DAO ICO Tokens" were indeed Securities.
Additionally, the SEC concluded federal U.S. Securities Laws apply to anyone who "offers and sells" securities in the United States, regardless whether or not the issuing entity is a decentralized autonomous organization, and regardless whether those securities are purchased using U.S. dollars or Virtua lCurrency.
So what does this mean for ICO's & Initial Coin Offerings?
What does this mean for Virtual Currencies like Ethereum & Bitcoin?
And does this SEC report signal the "end of just the beginning" of BlockchainTechnology" into the conscious mind of our money culture? Let's discuss!
