“Although this paper does not assess which method of regulation of ICOs and cryptocurrencies can ultimately be qualified as best strategy, we conclude that a positive and facilitating approach offers more opportunities for investors and innovative companies. However, this approach requires a clear and detailed legislative and regulatory framework for all parties involved in the establishment, issuing, storing or trading of cryptocurrencies and ICOs. Such a framework should at least provide boundaries with regard to money laundering and other common forms of cybercrime. Moreover, it should provide some sort of consumer/investor protection and clarity when it comes to tax liability. A legislative and regulatory framework that provides all these aspects will prevent abuse and may enable governments to intervene when issues occur.”
