Issues In The ICO Industry The Confido ICO Scam is presently one of the examples of the various issues confronted in the ICO market due to the lack of a set of laws covering the sector. Many ICOs most likely fall under existing security system, but a large number have tried to reject their way out of any accountability. The need for effective supervision and the incredible popularity of cryptocurrencies and ICOs will likely direct to even more fake activities in the field. However, regulators are observing, with the European Securities & Markets Authority (ESMA) powerfully indicating their concern that ICOs may be avoiding the law. Furthermore, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced the formation of a new “Cyber Unit” in September. This group would have broad powers, as well as supervision over ICO-related activities. Rumors And Letters Rumors have been going around that Confido themselves may issue a full reimbursement to investors following the distribution of a doubtful letter claims to be issued by the company’s law firm. It remains to be seen if this will come to pass, but without authentication of the letter’s legitimacy, investors aren’t exactly holding their breath.
