Not to mention the names of cryptoprocta, he explained his opinion about the ICO:
When I give you money, and you have to start the thing.. and for it share the profits, saying, “you know what, I will bring you the income” — then we are talking about securities, and we handle it. We adjust the offer of securities and trading in securities.
However, he said that the SEC does not intend to change the traditional understanding of securities with the aim of supporting the ICO community.
